On a dusty road near Mongolia on Sunday, hundreds of Russians turned out to bury Ilya Buldin.

Photos from the the city of Chita, located along the trans-Siberian railway route, showed a small procession of SUVs and vans, some with the “Z” symbol of the Russian invasion into Ukraine taped onto their windows.

Russian news articles and social media posts about Buldin’s funeral describe his death as due to a “special operation in Ukraine” — nothing more, nothing less.

The reports described one funeral of many, as similar stories of families burying their war dead begin to dribble out in Russian-language media across the country.
