"Prigozhin's Death Shakes Russian Power Dynamics and Fuels Speculation"
Yevgeny Prigozhin, the chief of the Wagner mercenary group, has been buried in a private funeral in St Petersburg. The ceremony was held in a closed format, and the public can visit the Porokhovskoye cemetery to pay their respects. Prigozhin was confirmed dead after a plane crash in August, and his death follows an aborted armed mutiny he led in June. The Kremlin denies any involvement in the crash, but speculation persists. Prigozhin's top deputy, Valery Chekalov, was also buried on the same day.
