text: Yevgeni Priqojin 1 iyun 1961-ci ildə Leninqradda (indiki Sankt-Peterburq) anadan olub. Atasını erkən yaşlarında itirib, anası Violletta Priqojina ikinci dəfə ailə qurub. His father died early, and so his mother supported him and his sick grandmother by working at a local hospital. His father and stepfather were of Jewish descent.
