In Russia, many citizens lose their lives due to armed conflict. However, not everyone labeled a "hero" receives a dignified burial. A recording from the burial site of a Russian soldier in Milkovo, Kamchatka Krai, has appeared online. The deceased's family is outraged because their loved one was buried on the road.

Humiliating burial of a Russian soldier

Russian authorities seem indifferent to the deaths of thousands of their citizens in Ukraine. They send young Russians to the front, many of whom return home in coffins or are maimed for life. Even if they give their lives heroically, fighting for Putin and his Kremlin entourage, they cannot always count on a dignified farewell.

This was the case with a soldier who died during the war in Ukraine. The man came from the distant Kamchatka Krai, from the other side of Russia. Instead of enjoying a peaceful life in the wilderness, he ended up like many of his comrades.

However, this is only the beginning of the trauma his family is experiencing. The second part concerns the burial place of the "hero". A recording has appeared online in which the deceased's loved ones express their outrage because the man was buried on the road.

The family demands a dignified burial

The villagers in Kamchatka Krai claim that according to documents, the piece of land where the Russian soldier was buried is not a road. They tried to intervene in this matter, demanding consultations, all to no avail. Even the clergyman stated that it is wicked to bury a man this way, although such cases have occurred before.

The family of the deceased soldier demands a reburial. It seems that in the vast territory of Russia, there surely is an appropriate place. The question is whether the authorities will decide to show compassion for the mourners. The fight for a dignified resting place for their loved one becomes a symbol of a broader problem, which is the lack of respect for those who gave their lives for their country.
