The administration of the village of Grachi in the Yantarsky district of the Astrakhan region refused to hold the funeral of a Wagner PMC fighter who took part in a special military operation.
“The guy died a heroic death. People gathered to say goodbye to him, to see him on his last trip. The school helps, there is no administration, for some reason she refused to bury, she does not want to help us in this matter, ”the author of the video shared with the Wagner channel Orchestra Telegram.
The locals, alone, arranged the soldier’s farewell on his last journey. Villagers assume officials were unwilling to help, as the deceased was in the ranks of the private Wagner military company.

Previously, residents of Verkhnyaya Salda, Sverdlovsk region, faced a similar problem. According to relatives of the late PMC fighter Alexander Tonkushin, none of the authorities showed up for the funeral.
