Former Ukrainian politician Andrei Portnov, who has recently been killed in Spanish Madrid, plan to bury in Kiev. About it reports the publication of Espresso , referring to a source aware of the organization of burial.
According to the interlocutor, first the ceremony was planned to be held at the Baykovo Cemetery, one of the most prestigious necropolis of the capital. However, the organizers were confronted with resistance - they were informed that there would be a loud scandal if the burial happens there. The result is a burial variant in the Zaporinets Cemetery.
Espresso now sent an official request to the Kyiv City State Administration to clarify the details.
We will remind, Andriy Portnov was the deputy chairman of the Presidential Administration during the time of Viktor Yanukovych. After the Dignity Revolution, he left the territory of Ukraine. His figure remained contradictory, and the report of death caused a lively reaction in Ukrainian society.
