In the village of Staropyshminsk, on April 5, a funeral ceremony was held in honor of a fighter of the PMC Wagner, who went to the front from a colony of the general regime. Relatives regretted that the man had decided to go to war, despite their urgent requests.
He thought everything would be fine and he would come back alive. He said it was better to be free, because in the area they were fed only cabbage, the father of the deceased told e1.ru.
Court records show that in 2017 Viktor Krokhalev received a suspended sentence for setting fire to someone else’s garage, and in 2019 he was convicted of drug possession, while the previous sentence had not yet expired. The man was also convicted of stealing money and jewelry from his father.
After Victor’s death, his eleven-year-old daughter was left without a father. The man grew up in a large family, and his brother is also in the special operation area after partial mobilization. At the request of his father, Victor’s burial took place in his native village, and not on Berezovsky’s Walk of Fame.
