Wagner chief Yevgeny Prigozhin buried at St Petersburg cemetery Secrecy had surrounded the funeral arrangements for the Wagner mercenary boss who was killed in a plane crash on August 23.

 

Yevgeny Prigozhin, the Wagner Group chief who died in a plane crash last week, has been buried at a cemetery on the outskirts of St Petersburg.

The funeral took place on Tuesday, away from the glare of the media and in stark contrast to the brazen, self-publicising style with which Prigozhin had fanned his reputation far beyond Russia for ruthlessness and ambition.
