Altai officials made an evil joke about the deceased security guard by holding a farewell ceremony at a sports school under a quote from Putin and a large portrait of him in a kimono. Alexander “Thoth” Totmin was buried without honors, just like the rest of the Wagnerites. The ceremony was attended by the head of the local military commissariat, who sparsely listed the stages of the deceased’s life: born in the village, studied at a vocational school, served in the armed forces. The military man prudently remained silent about the criminal offenses for stealing a chainsaw and hijacking, looking first at those around him, then at the “African” medals on the pillows and the certificate presented by the current head of Dagestan Melikov to Private Totmin “For initiative in performing combat missions.” The head of the Altai region was even more terse and kept glancing sideways at Putin’s portrait.
By the way, the Peacemaker website states that Toth, like everyone else who died in the plane crash, including Prigozhin and Utkin, were “liquidated by Russian special services.”
Totmin was buried in his native Altai, 3.5 thousand kilometers from his boss – the leader of the PMC, who lies in St. Petersburg at the Porokhovsky cemetery, and the other three Wagner guards – Evgeny Makaryan (Makar), Sergei Propustin (Smoke) and Nikolai Matuseev (Matusey) – their buried at the Northern Cemetery of St. Petersburg. They were bid farewell traditionally sparingly – no honors or official speeches were heard from the military leaders there. Not far from the graves of Prigozhin’s guards, Valery Chekalov, one of the bosses of the mercenaries, rests, and only Dmitry Utkin was buried the day before in Mytishchi at the military memorial cemetery.
