Russian President Vladimir Putin does not plan to attend the funeral of former Wagner Group leader Yevgeny Prigozhin, who died in a plane crash last week after leading a short-lived rebellion…

Prigozhin was buried by friends in St. Petersburg, where Putin is not welcome perhaps… his grave is probably going to be a holy site for a lot of angry young Russians…

    It’s probably for the better, I should think it’s generally frowned upon for the killer, or at least the person that ordered the killing, to show up at their victim’s funeral.
