A photo purportedly showing Russian General Sergei Surovikin, who has not been seen in public since the Wagner mercenary group's mutiny in June, has been published on social media. The authenticity of the photo has not been verified. Various reports suggest that Surovikin fell out of favor with the Kremlin following the mutiny and is being investigated for possible complicity. He was previously removed as head of the air force, and his deputy has assumed the role temporarily. Surovikin, known as "General Armageddon," was briefly in charge of Russia's war effort in Ukraine before General Valery Gerasimov took over.
The Kremlin and Russian security service officials reportedly kept the funeral of Yevgeny Prigozhin, the rogue Wagner mercenary boss, a secret to deny him "hero" status after his recent mutiny. The decision was made to prevent mass gatherings, unrest, and protests. The location of the burial was not revealed until after the funeral, and security officers remained on scene guarding the area. Prigozhin's death, which came two months after his revolt, rattled the Kremlin and sparked an outpouring of grief from the public. Despite being awarded the title "Hero of Russia," Prigozhin's funeral lacked the grandeur expected, with only a small number of relatives and friends in attendance.
