Yevgeny Prigozhin, the secretive mercenary chief and founder of the Wagner Group, was recently laid to rest in St. Petersburg, but his funeral was far from low-key. Despite the lack of official announcement of when and where it would take place, rumors and speculation spread across social media about the location of the burial. Eventually, Prigozhin's representatives confirmed that he was buried in Porokhovskoe Cemetery on the edge of St. Petersburg next to his father. The funeral reportedly lacked military honors and only a few people attended. However, the level of security surrounding the cemetery was anything but low-key. Police, sniffer dogs, anti-drone officers, and riot police were present to ensure that the media and public could not access the burial site. The Russian authorities viewed the Wagner mutiny organized by Prigozhin as treachery, and they wanted to keep attention away from the funeral. Despite the secretive nature of Prigozhin's funeral, his death has been mourned by many in Russia, with makeshift memorials appearing in his hometown of St. Petersburg and in Moscow.
