Monument to Wagner Group founder Prigozhin unveiled in St Petersburg
A life-sized monument to the founder of Russia’s Wagner private mercenary group Yevgeny Prigozhin was opened at his grave in St. Petersburg.
The site was visited by several dozens of people, many of whom laid flowers. Some were dressed in military uniform and were wearing PMC Wagner symbols.
Prigozhin, head of the Wagner mercenary group that fought for Russia in Ukraine, waged a long-running feud with the defence establishment that culminated in an outright mutiny in late June 2023.
It ended quickly but was widely seen as a serious challenge to President Vladimir Putin’s almost quarter-century-old grip on power.

Free russia from Putin 🇷🇺
😂😂😂 wtf
Well-done
His birthday today
Still hiding their faces in shame
Russia is the country of world's best dark sense of humors, Black comedy,ironies and scarcasm.😂😂
Look up Dmitry Utkin. The photos are quite startling. He was priggos right hand man in wagner pmc and apparently wagner was chosen as the name because Wagner was hitlers favorite composer 👀
They are going to melt it down to up armor their turtle tanks 😂
Thought he was a trader ??? So thats how russians honer traders 🤷🏽♂️🤨🧐
Sick people
Gross
A War criminal!!!!😮
He is alive with new identification
This statue was later destroyed in a totally random plane crash.

"Shoigu! Gerasimov! Where the f is the flowers!"
🤮
He did reduce the prison population I guess…🤷
He knows how to deal with an enemy and should be looked at as an example for future generations to come. He commanded many men and in today's world that's impressive. In America it's impossible.
All those supporters, and they still couldn't save him from Putin. Dark glasses and combat gear won't save anybody, so grow up.
Watching cowards and fascists salute their fallen leader, murdered by the guy who they currently cower to, is about as pathetic as it gets.
Free Russia from Putin
what happened to that dude’s leg?
🎉
It is like a warning.. Obey or be like the statue
What idiot's
RIP Konusuba fanboi
Кумирчиков подвезли 😂
Y el asesino tiene nombre y apellido.. Ras PUTIN
SCRAP METAL 🇺🇦🇺🇸 forever
that’s the devil, eat it up wyte people
Russian man bun no wonder yall are losing against Ukraine
That face was the one he made when putin said he had gotten him a flight
They should vote for someone else than Putin 🫤
I wonder how much the russians can accept what putin is doing with their country. A lot of them forgot that the country is theirs not putin.
They just can't get enough of this war bit.
this is some next level ironic humor right here
They really don't realize Putin killed him do they?
How come the Russian bots are not attacking this short video?
That's not right at all!
Russia is so like USA in many ways ,
The only difference I see is Russia does things more boldly and USA more politically
Glory to Russia!!!!
It won't be long until it's taken down. By the Russians themselves.
Land of the great orcs
Sad orcs
Weird
