Cemetery where Prigozhin buried opens to visitors, prompting long traffic jam at entrance
The Porokhovskoye Cemetery in St. Petersburg, where Wagner Group founder Yevgeny Prigozhin has been buried, was opened to visitors on the morning of August 30.
The local outlet Fontanka said visitors entering the cemetery would undergo a “polite search.” The Telegram channel Shot wrote that among the first visitors to Prigozhin’s grave were his wife and daughter.
Fontanka wrote that by noon, a traffic jam several kilometers long formed at the entrance to the cemetery. According to Yandex.Maps, the traffic jam has since decreased significantly, but is not completely gone.
