坎帕拉，乌干达——帕维尔·普里戈任在学习家族雇佣兵业务时，父亲的私人飞机在俄罗斯上空28,000英尺处爆炸。
KAMPALA, Uganda—Pavel Prigozhin was still learning the family guns-for-hire business when his father’s private jet exploded 28,000 feet over Russia.
叶夫根尼·普里戈任在与总统弗拉基米尔·普京公开决裂后，其极具公众关注的死亡，使他的儿子帕维尔接管了全球最臭名昭著的雇佣军组织。年仅25岁的他继承了瓦格纳集团，这是一支由枪手、走私黄金者、鸦片贩子、酿酒师和伏特加蒸馏厂组成的帝国。曾被视为被宠坏的花花公子，他实际上是个天生的领袖。
Yevgeny Prigozhin’s very public death, following his very public falling-out with President Vladimir Putin, left his son, Pavel, in charge of the world’s most notorious mercenary force. At age 25, he inherited Wagner Group, an empire of gunfighters, gold smugglers, opioid dealers, brewers and vodka distillers. Once seen as a pampered playboy, he turned out to be a natural.
据在班吉（中非共和国首都）的前瓦格纳成员、政府官员、商界人士和研究人员透露，现年28岁的帕维尔·普里戈任不仅挽救了瓦格纳在非洲的据点——中非共和国，还进一步扩大了其业务。
Pavel Prigozhin, now 28, not only salvaged but expanded operations in Wagner’s African stronghold, the Central African Republic, according to former Wagner associates, government officials, business people and researchers in Bangui, the capital city.
