The Russian mercenary leader was buried in St Petersburg yesterday.
A portrait of Wagner chief Yevgeny Prigozhin lies on his grave at the Porokhovskoye cemetery in St Petersburg today.
A man wearing the shirt of his Wagner mercenaries and a cap bearing the Russian flag was among those paying respects at the grave, where red roses and carnations graced a wooden Orthodox cross labelled “Prigozhin, Yevgeny Viktorovich 1961-2023”.The private jet on which Prigozhin was travelling to St Petersburg from Moscow crashed north of Moscow with the loss of all 10 people on board on Aug 23, including Prigozhin, top Wagner commanders, his bodyguards and a crew of three.
The day after the crash, Putin sent his condolences to the families of those killed and said he had known Prigozhin for a very long time, since the chaotic years of the early 1990s. He said he always professed loyalty to Putin, while branding defence minister Sergei Shoigu as so incompetent he should executed for his treachery.
