It's their "These are jews worldwide you should know about and who influenced things". Their separate list of 25 Visionaries is their separate endorsement way to highlight people they consider good. As a Multiple Awardee of Time's "Person of the Year", ouch, dude.

Prigozhin was never actually influential. He was a second tier fixer for the Kremlin inner circle who was given Wagner to run and completely hosed up the assignment.

eh you can make the case that he wasn't influential within russia (wagner's troll farms and payroll of various influential figures notwithstanding) politically, mostly because he functioned as an agent of the status quo, but internationally he was unambiguously effective as a foreign-directed tool wrt russian geopolitical interests

June wasn't that long ago. I don't think he could have made it that far without any influence.

https://twitter.com/KyivPost/status/1703732450965254485quote:Alleged images of the destroyed Russian submarine B-237 #Rostov-on-Don, which was damaged in a Ukrainian attack on September 14, have appeared online. Speaking of confirmations, I remember some debate over how bad the damage to the Kilo submarine that Ukraine managed to hit was. I'm not super knowledgeable about submarines, but this does look like the sort of damage that you don't fix in an afternoon.

The pressure hull has to be a write off, and the internals of that thing have got to be completely wrecked, right? Yeah that looks totaled to me. You’d need to spend a couple years in drydock pulling all the electrical, replacing the hull, and repairing damaged sub-systems. It would be a complete rebuild.

And specifically selling weapons and ammo to them, which is less important currently. It was mostly blamed on the lovely treatment the soldiers received from their immediate superiors by the reporters. I never got around to verifying things back then.

Like was said above, that closer hole on the first picture seems to be from insidey explodey bits no longer staying insidey with their desire to become explodey, and I'm betting other not-explodey insidey bits turned into burny bits to make that happen. Not being a Navy guy I can't speak with certainty on the topic but I've been told by a few Navy guys that fire is a bad thing on boats. I imagine this gets a touch worse on submarines.
