The last contact Grigoriy Gancherov and his wife had with their son, a Russian private military contractor fighting in Syria, was on Feb. 4 last year.
The father subsequently learned from a friend and fellow fighter of Sergei's that the 25-year-old had died several days later in a major battle against U.S.-led forces in the Deir al-Zor region.
It was not until mid-April that he received formal notification of his son's death and the body was returned, accompanied by a death certificate stating he died on March 7 on the other side of Syria.
Gancherov's account is one of half a dozen instances Reuters has identified where the Kremlin-linked private military organization that recruited the fighters returned bodies more than seven weeks after the battle and with official documents bearing details that people who knew them say were incorrect.
According to relatives and a battlefield witness, the fighters all died in the clash in Syria's Deir al-Zor region, which took place overnight on Feb. 7.
Such practices, an unusual pattern for Russian fighters killed in Syria, would have helped conceal heavy casualties until after President Vladimir Putin’s re-election in mid-March.

Maybe Russians have shipped some of their mobile crematories from Ukraine to Syria to aid in hiding the deaths?
Well apparently they’re here and as obnoxious as ever.
“Putin is Christian” (His ruthless war on Christianity is an open book)
“Putin cares about freedom” (Crimea, Georgia, Baltic States, Moldova say otherwise)
“Putin hates Globalists” (They work for the same boss)
“Putin should be an American ally” (Why not - like they are with Cuba, China, Venezuela, and Iran - great bastions of freedom and prosperity)
Ding, ding, ding, winner!
Grigoriy Gancherov, one of about 350 Russians killed in the Feb 2019 battle.
Yes love, that Trump. Not Neocon-on-steroids-deluded-tsar-commie-wannabe Putin.
Ok Putin is in it for Russia (and himself) He is no globalist or Communist idealist (he has no ideals save for a love of Russia—as he sees it). Will he lie and cheat—yes! Can we deal with him, yes, but keep a close eye on him. We should work together more as we have the same enemy—CHINA.
