They write on the Internet that there may be problems with Gorbachev’s burial place
Problems may arise with the place and order of burial of former USSR President Mikhail Gorbachev, who died yesterday.
The popular telegram channel NEZYGAR writes about this.
The authors of NEZYGAR associate the problems with the burial with the fact that a significant (from 60 to 80% according to opinion polls) majority of the population considers him the “destroyer of a great country” and the culprit of a “serious geopolitical catastrophe.”
“This extremely negative attitude calls into question the proposed resting place of Gorbachev in the grave of his wife Raisa at the Novodevichy cemetery, since in this case the costs of protecting the territory where Yeltsin and Gaidar are also buried may increase exponentially. After repeated attacks on their graves, the authorities were forced to introduce a comprehensive security regime, which, according to various estimates, costs the budget 200-250 thousand rubles per day,” the publication says.
The authors of the public claim that Dmitry Muratov, a Nobel laureate and the editor-in-chief of Novaya Gazeta, which belonged to Gorbachev in partnership with the Russian-British oligarch Lebedev, allegedly proposed burying Gorbachev in London, at Brookwood Cemetery (where the grave of the fugitive oligarch Boris Berezovsky is located) or on Khaygetsky, where Karl Marx is buried with symbolic overtones (Gorbachev is the gravedigger of Marxism in Russia).
According to NEZYGAR, Muratov allegedly shared this idea as a possible option for a painless solution to the problem against the backdrop of sanctions with the press secretary of the Russian President Dmitry Peskov, asking “to convey it to you know who.”
“It became known that Muratov’s initiative was supported by Chubais, Khodorkovsky, Kokh, Prokhorov, Nevzlin, Yumashev, Voloshin and a number of businessmen - admirers of Gorbachev, instructing Kudrin to convey their opinion to the country’s top leaders and expressing their willingness to pay all expenses,” the telegram post states. -channel.
It is noteworthy that in the Russian Telegram, the news of Gorbachev’s death literally caused a flurry of impartial comments regarding the deceased.
“Gorbachev was a soviet in the worst sense of the word. He really believed that freedom was sausage without coupons. McDuck on Pushkinskaya. Pizza Hut. Moreover, he believed that freedom is a way of life with “no coupons” for Finnish shoes and pizza. No understanding of what a state is and why. What is Russia? No understanding of really simple things: how you can and cannot pay for this notorious sausage and two-cassette tapes. How do the greatness and security of the country relate to the shortage of blue pants with patch pockets on the back...
Gorbachev traded Eastern Europe and 14 of the 15 republics... for his Nobel Prize and pizza advertising. On lumps on Tverskaya. To the poverty of millions of fools like himself - but for whom he was responsible.
Gorbachev is such a nonentity that there is no one to even compare him with in Russian history. And in non-Russian countries too,” writes political observer Andrei Perla.
The results of an impromptu online survey on the channel of radio host Sergei Mardan are also indicative. Users were asked whether they would express deep condolences if they learned of the death of Mikhail Gorbachev.
It seems that the Russian authorities are aware of Gorbachev's extreme unpopularity among the people. So it is not surprising that, according to Interfax, the funeral of the ex-president of the USSR most likely will not be of a state nature. “The decision to hold a state funeral for Gorbachev has not yet been made,” said presidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov.
