Biography
Born around 1962, Prigov's "talisman" since childhood has been a grenade. During his school years, he attended a rocket modeling club.

He has a law degree (graduated with honors). He trained and served with many of his future adversaries, including many saboteurs. Traitors included both Prigov's associates (such as Sotnikov) and direct subordinates (Eduard Deripas). He participated in the operation in Nicaragua.

Major Prigov was introduced to Bulatov by Rear Admiral Solovyov after Ivan left the service. He subsequently repeatedly deployed the Typhoon naval group, and sometimes its individual members, to carry out various FSB missions. He also occasionally participated in operations with the Typhoon group.

Some time after the group's reorganization, having been promoted to major general, he headed the St. Petersburg CTC and invited Bulatov to create and subsequently lead the Smerch special forces unit. He also lectured to students at the FSB Academy in Moscow.

At the time of the MDRR, he settled in Lubyanka, and after the "death" of the Nerpa detachment, he became the unit's de facto leader. After Gorlin's assassination, he continued to oversee the Nerpas, and then the new special unit, Akula.

Artist. He primarily paints landscapes and narrative scenes. He organizes exhibitions and enjoys deciphering ancient manuscripts. He also designed a combat knife of his own design and armed the Smerch squad with it.
