According to reports, Russian mercenary chief Yevgeny Prigozhin was buried quietly in a leafy cemetery on the outskirts of St Petersburg on Tuesday, six days after he was killed in an unexplained plane crash. The funeral took place away from the glare of the media and in stark contrast to the brazen, self-publicizing style with which Prigozhin had fanned his reputation, in Russia and far beyond, for ruthlessness and ambition.

"The farewell to Yevgeny Viktorovich took place in a closed format. Those who wish to say goodbye may visit Porokhovskoye cemetery," his press service said in a short post on Telegram.

Prigozhin, two top lieutenants of his Wagner group and four bodyguards were among 10 people who died when his Embraer Legacy 600 private jet crashed north of Moscow on Aug. 23. He died two months to the day after staging a brief mutiny against the defense establishment that posed the biggest challenge to President Vladimir Putin's rule since he rose to power in 1999.

Speaking separately in Washington, D.C., White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said that "There's not much that happens in Russia that Putin is not behind… We all know that the Kremlin has a long history of killing opponents."
