A recording has surfaced online, revealing the shocking burial site of a Russian soldier on a paved road in the village of Milkovo. The deceased's family is outraged, calling this act "the humiliation of a hero" who gave his life on the front lines. Is this what respect for the fallen looks like in Russia?

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

Humiliating burial of a Russian soldier

Russian authorities appear indifferent to the deaths of thousands of their citizens in Ukraine. They send young Russians to the front line, 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 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 shown the deceased's loved ones expressing 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 have tried to intervene in this matter, demanding consultations. All to no avail. Even the clergyman stated that it is wicked to bury a man in this way, although such cases have happened 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 ones becomes a symbol of a broader problem - the lack of respect for those who gave their lives for their country.
