The family of Valery Chekalov gathered at the Severnoye cemetery in St. Petersburg on Tuesday.
The family of Valery Chekalov, the head of Wagner logistics, was joined by dozens of people, some of whom Reuters identified as Wagner mercenaries, at the Severnoye cemetery in St. Petersburg, Russia’s former imperial capital.
The private Embraer Legacy 600 private jet on which Prigozhin was travelling to St. Petersburg from Moscow crashed in the Tver region north of Moscow on Aug. 23 with the loss of all 10 people on board, including Chekalov, Dmitry Utkin — another top Wagner leader — and four men reported to be Prigozhin’s bodyguards.
Peskov said the Kremlin did not have any specific information about the funeral plans, and the arrangements were up to relatives. It was not immediately clear when Prigozhin’s funeral would take place. The crash came two months to the day after Prigozhin and his mercenaries staged a mutiny against Putin’s top military commanders in which they took control of the southern city of Rostov and advanced towards Moscow before turning back 125 miles from the capital.
