Wagner chief, Yevgeny Prigozhin has been buried next to his father
Wagner chief Yevgeny Prigozhin has now been laid to rest next to his father after a service took place behind closed doors.
The Wagner boss was killed in a suspicious plane crash last week, just two months after his brief mutiny that challenged the authority of President Vladimir Putin.
His spokespeople said that those who want “to bid their farewell” to the mercenary leader should go to the Porokhovskoye cemetery in St. Petersburg, his hometown.
Huge security was put in place around what Russian officials said was his newly filled grave.
The necropolis was cordoned off in a giant security operation with police and riot police, national guardsmen, and traffic police in a vast clampdown.
Telegram channel VChK-OGPU said this was now “the most protected cemetery in the world.”
A wooden cross towered over his grave covered with flowers and two flags nearby — a Russian tricolour and a black Wagner flag.
Russian media cited unidentified sources as saying Prigozhin was laid to rest Tuesday without any publicity, per his family’s wishes.
