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/… m.ura.news/news/1052672405
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.

1/3 When we found out back in September '25 that 'Rubicon' is based in Patriot Park (rferl.org/a/russia-drone…), I thought location might be a stunt to impress Belousov or something. Now, with this new GRU sabotage unit – 'Centre 795' – also based there, everything falls into place x.com/michaeldweiss/…
2/3 'Centre 795' is a rival structure to GRU Andrey Averyanov’s team, whose headquarters, as we recently found, are likely based in Moscow on the premises of a secret military institute.
3/3 So, we have two rival GRU structures whose duties somehow overlap, with both headquarters discovered by us with the help of open sources (and a little bit of HUMINT)🫡
🕵️Call us the 'Headquarters Hunters': together with @pustota, we found the 'mail center' of the GRU 'Africa Corps.' You will – and will not – be surprised where we found it. Full thread below 🔽
It all started when Georgy Kochkin, a 21-year-old defector from the 'Africa Corps', approached us. This guy wanted to be an IT specialist in Africa and needed money badly, so he just clicked on an ad on one of the job websites.
In October 2025, he signed a contract with the Russian MoD. There was nothing about Africa in it, of course, but he was promised a proper job fitting his expertise – information security.
1/5 An important P.S. to my Valdai thread. This clearly demonstrates that any piece agreements with Putin’s Russia don’t cost the paper they're written on. One day he will simply fabricate a pretext to breach any agreement without hesitation, regardless how absurd it will look.
2/5 The '91 drones targeting Putin’s residence' stunt was a way to pressure Ukraine (I really hope – and want to believe – this was not coordinated between the U.S. and Russia). Not a big deal by itself, but a reminder that Russian false-flag ops or psyops like this are common.
3/5 With a peace agreement, you can buy a year or less of breathing space. In 1938–1939, it was barely several months for Czechoslovakia – time that Britain bought through Chamberlain's policy of appeasement.
A @Planet satellite image of Novorossiysk taken today shows the aftermath of the Ukrainian underwater drone attack on a Russian Kilo-class submarine. Still hard to conduct a precise BDA, but at least we can see that the explosion occurred approximately 20 m from the vessel.
A still, high-resolution @Planet satellite image of the port of Novorossiysk showing damage from a Ukrainian submersible drone, taken today, Dec. 16, at 8:18 a.m. local time.
@planet Interestingly, back in 2021, Russia used this exact pier to place specially trained dolphins, which were later moved to Sevastopol. Good for them! (Although these dolphins are trained specifically to prevent attacks like the ones carried out by Ukraine.)
⚛️🇹🇷🧵Next year, Turkey’s 1st nuclear power plant, Akkuyu – built by Russia’s state-owned Rosatom – is finally set to go live after years of delays and scandals. Among its staff, we found a former GRU psyops officer. Our new investigation with @pustota exposes the full story 🔽
Meet Maxim Balabanov, who served for nearly 10 years, until 2017, in military unit 03126 in Leningrad Oblast – a SUPsO (psyops) unit of the Leningrad Military District.
He also listed as one of his addresses the location of another GRU unit, 20697 (St. Petersburg). As was discovered back in 2023, unit 20697 is another GRU psyops unit, whose officers pretended to act as politologysts and experts in their 'civic' life. ms.detector.media/internet/post/…
1/3 Finally, our investigation, together with @pustota, revealing several participants of the recent far-right and fascist organizations forum in St. Petersburg who did not want to be identified – including Hamburg Bürgerschaft MP Robert Risch from the AfD svoboda.org/a/rossiyskaya-…
2/3 Special thanks to @MackjackMaier for quickly revealing Risch’s identity, and kudos to the Belgian nationalists of 'Nation,' who accidentally shared his unblurred photo.
