Prigozhin buried secretly, surrounded by police in 'special funeral operation'

He really is dead. Today Yevgeny Prigozhin was buried in his hometown of St. Petersburg. There were conflicting reports leading up to the ceremony about where and when it would take place. It seems pretty clear that the Kremlin wanted this to be a very low-key affair with few people allowed so that no images or video showing long lines of mourners would wind up in the media.

Even after his murder, Putin is obviously worried about his remaining supporters.

To be clear, I think Prigozhin was a ghoul rounding up desperate criminals and sending them to die at the front lines for his own aggrandizement. That said, some of the things he said about the war in those final weeks before his March on Moscow were true, such as the fact that Putin’s attempt to demilitarize Ukraine had completely backfired. Also, his suggestions that the Russian Army was useless and was losing the war haven’t been contradicted yet. Those honest assessments probably put him on Putin’s list even before the march toward Moscow. Here’s hoping the ghost of Prigozhin continues to haunt Putin for the rest of his life.

So why the secrecy and heavy police presence at the cemetery? Is Putin afraid of a dead man now?

Maybe they don’t want anybody to open the casket only to find it empty.

Only dummies listen to this crap and believe it. If it is so secret, why are we hearing about it? LOL

Afraid of a revolution built around a “martyr” maybe? I don’t know. Putin’s brain is not accessible to me, thanks God.
