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.

1/5 One of the Geran-2/Shahed-136 drones downed in Kyiv today had a catapult mount supplied by Chinese company less than 2 months ago, on 23rd of May. 46 days earlier, on April 9-11, the company, Suzhou Ecod Precision Manufacturing, took part in the St. Petersburg Technical fair.
3/5 Suzhou Ecod Precision Manufacturing was one of only two Chinese companies that took part in the St. Petersburg fair. The other one, Suzhou Hongyishan, specializes on 'standard and non-standard industrial parts, pneumatic and hydraulic components'. Neither of the 2 sanctioned.
Israel is really lucky that the Iranian rockets mostly hit modern apartment blocks for now. Bat Yam is something of an exception – that’s why there were so many casualties. But believe me, there are far more rundown apartment blocks in Bat Yam compared to the ones that were hit.
The pin marks where the modern apartment complex was hit in Petah Tikva last night. If the missiles had landed in the large red circle, it would have been a disaster. Around 50% of the buildings in such areas were built before the 1980s, with no protected rooms, thin walls, etc.
Just tap a random Street View to see for yourself. On the left: a building in Petah Tikva located a few kilometers from the modern one that was hit last night (on the right).
🧵Recently, Yandex blurred some additional military-related facilities on its satellite maps. It hasn't revealed any major surprises (yet), but it did lead me to yet another 'Pantsir' system installed in Moscow Oblast after Ukrainian drone attacks.
Some examples of the newly blurred objects (mostly military complex plants): x.com/wartranslated/… (source t.me/sotaproject/98…). I already found many more, but they're mostly well-known sites.
One well-known site that is now blurred is the missile storage facility for the A-135 (ABM-4 Gorgon), a Russian anti-ballistic missile system deployed around Moscow to intercept incoming warheads targeting the city and its surrounding areas. 55.625, 37.387 wikimapia.org/#lang=en&lat=5…
🧵1/6 As after every Ukrainian drone attack, my dynamic map of air defense systems installed in Moscow and the Moscow Oblast gains a few new entries, thanks to multiple enthusiasts like @jembobineuse and @Dmojavensis. The most recent addition is particularly interesting. 🔽
2/6 The 'Flakturm', identical to the one we saw earlier (that the shorter and taller sections are swapped), was constructed in Bulatnikovo near Moscow 1.5 years ago, in September 2023. 55.557090, 37.664654
1/3 Russian Maj. Gen. Jaroslav Moskalik, allegedly killed today near Moscow, took part in at least two Normandy Four format meetings: in 2015, when the infamous 'Steinmeier formula' was adopted, and on Dec. 9, 2019, when Volodymyr Zelensky met Putin in person for the first time.
2/3 Moskalik also took part in a visit by a Russian delegation to Damascus, where Putin’s special envoy Alexander Lavrentyev held talks with Syrian President Bashar Assad in 2018.
🧵A Russian diplomat, pressured to leave Brussels amid espionage allegations, has been nominated for a key role in the OSCE. Another 19 diplomats were expelled too, with open sources clearly showing their ties to Russian intelligence (and yes, they liked posting on Strava).
But first things first: meet Dmitry Iordanidi, a former deputy head of the @OSCE mission to Bosnia-Herzegovina with deep experience in the Balkans, who was nominated by Moscow to lead the organization’s mission to Serbia.
Russia also nominated Iordanidi to head an OSCE program office in Kyrgyzstan’s capital, Bishkek, and for the same position in Kazakhstan’s capital, Astana. I think that falls under the ‘flood the field’ tactic.
