On Saturday, at the Troekurovsky cemetery in the capital, the funeral of military commander Vladlen Tatarsky, killed on April 2 in the center of Saint Petersburg, took place. According to an The Eastern Herald correspondent who attended Tatarsky’s farewell ceremony, more than a thousand people came to see the military correspondent during their last trip.
Among those who came to the Troekurovskoye cemetery on Saturday were Wagner PMC founder Yevgeny Prigozhin, leader of the LDPR faction in the State Duma Leonid Slutsky and rapper Akim Apachev. “He lived honestly, like a hero, and died like a hero,” Leonid Slutsky said at the ceremony, which also called for lifting the moratorium on the death penalty in Russia.
The coffin with the body of Tatarsky (whose real name is Maxim Fomin) was lowered into the grave to the sound of the Russian anthem and a triple military salute.
