A funeral understood to be for the Wagner Group's logistics chief Valery Chekalov was held in St. Petersburg, Russia Tuesday. Chekalov died in the August 23 crash alongside its leader Yevgeny Prigozhin. Russian media outlet Fontanka reported it was Chekalov who was buried at the Northern Cemetery in St. Petersburg. The funeral was not announced officially, and journalists were not allowed to film or talk to people at the cemetery. The tight secrecy and confusion surrounding the funeral of Prigozhin and his top lieutenants reflected a dilemma faced by the Kremlin amid speculation that the crash was likely retribution for his mutiny.
