Wagner Group head Yevgeny Prigozhin died in a plane crash last week. Many Russians are mourning — and speculating about the crash.
Bikmulin's mother, Alfiya, approached and said her husband had signed up for Wagner because of Prigozhin's leadership skills.
Ivan said he was against the war in Ukraine and disapproved of Prigozhin's cruel system of wartime justice — in some instances, executions meted out by sledge hammer. She noted that Prigozhin's fighters had fired on and killed at least a dozen Russian soldiers on their way to Moscow before Putin"wisely" ended the uprising with an amnesty deal.
Nastya, a liberal activist who stopped by the memorial wearing a pin in honor of Boris Nemtsov — a popular opposition leaderin 2015 — said whatever the cause of Prigozhin's demise, it wasn't by chance.
