The press service for Yevgeny Prigozhin, the leader of the Wagner Group, has announced that he was privately buried in St. Petersburg
It was said that the ceremony took place in his hometown but only a certain number of people were allowed to attend. If anyone wanted to, they could go to the Porokhovskoe cemetery to say their goodbyes.
The leader of the group of soldiers for hire was declared dead by Russian officials. They used genetic testing on 10 bodies that were discovered in a plane crash near Moscow on 23 August.
The Kremlin said it is not responsible for the crash, dismissing rumors.
Many people who pay attention to Russia, both inside and outside the country, have called Prigozhin a “dead man walking” because of a failed armed rebellion he led in June.
All 10 people, including Dmitry Utkin who was Prigozhin’s right-hand man, died in the crash in the Tver region, which is located to the northwest of Moscow.
The Wagner press service shared a brief message on Telegram on Tuesday, providing information about Prigozhin’s funeral.
It didn’t give any more information.

“Wine crate bomb” brought down Prigozhin aircraft – reports
It has been reported by Russian sources that a bomb hidden inside a wine crate was allegedly discovered on an aircraft linked to Yevgeny Prigozhin, causing concerns about the possibility of the plane losing control and crashing.
