🧵This is an excellent example of a fake news (no personal offence to @ChrisO_wiki, just an example!). I'll explain why ⬇️
The source article is a pure clickbait, typical for Russian regional media, always lacking funds. It literally says 'wanna know what will happen to this cemetery? Click here!' 63.ru/text/gorod/202…
But what will happen? The cemetery will be transformed into the ordinary military cemetery, like hundreds all over the world.
We can argue about the 'pyramids' design, but it's not something unusual.
Wagnerites relatives are mocking the blogger who filmed the source video (he has nothing to do with Wagner, just a fanboy), saying that they're absolutely happy with this transformation happening.
Please, every time one hypes on things like this a cat or a puppy dog dies somewhere. You don't want them to, do you?
P.S. Similar works had already begun on a famous Wagner cemetery in Bakinskaya, Krasnodar Krai, before Prisgozhin was presumed dead in a plane crash. vot-tak.tv/novosti/11-07-…
Maybe this will change, but now it's about Prigo and Putin dealing with things in Russian criminal '90's style', where they both belong too, not ordinary mercenaries [yet]. And yes, photos of stacked crosses are a clickbait cliche.
Similar works and similar cemetery 'modernization' project is underway in Berezovsky (near Yekaterinburg). . Announced long before the Prigozhin's death (). e1.ru/text/politics/…

I'll explain why this idea is quite popular among the Wagnerites' relatives (according to themselves): when it's the war memorial, you're safe that the tomb will be there for years w/o having to care/pay for it (at least that's what they're promised).
There's some criticism too: some relatives find that their loved ones are buried here or there only months after their death. When the cemetery is transformed into the war memorial, it's not possible anymore to exhume a body and bury it somewhere else if one wishes to do so.
Yet another pathetic fake. These fires are being set up to warm the frosted land. The footage was filmed in April when there were first reports about this cemetery. See the next tweet for explanation ⬇️

Just signed up for @CommunityNotes, but until I'm approved I'll tag them here: these context boxes is definitely the best thing which happened to this website in a long time.
