Russian soldiers who quit #Putin’s war get no hero’s welcome abroad as asylum claims surge
If the choice was death or a bullet to the leg, #Yevgeny would take the bullet. A decorated hero of #Russia’s war in #Ukraine, Yevgeny told his friend and fellow soldier to please aim carefully and avoid bone. The tourniquets were ready.
The pain that followed was the price Yevgeny paid for a new chance at life. Like thousands of other Russian soldiers, he deserted the army.
Yevgeny Prigozhin's funeral is expected to take place in St. Petersburg today. The ceremony's time and location have been classified, city official says
'Just a regular VIP funeral'. Yevgeny Prigozhin was buried in St. Petersburg without military honors. Instead, a few cryptic lines of Joseph Brodsky were placed by his grave.
