Margarita Simonyan was faceless at her husband's funeral
Everything took place in complete silence. By the decision of the deceased's widow, only "those who knew Tigran personally" were allowed to attend for the first two hours.
Margarita herself wept throughout the ceremony. Tigran's body lay in an open casket, and his wife gazed at it unwaveringly. From time to time, the widow was given water and led out to the ambulance crew on duty at least four times.
A wreath for "Beloved Husband" was initially placed by the entrance doors, but was soon moved to accommodate others – from Putin, Mishustin, Peskov, and his family.
Wreaths from Rossiya Segodnya, NTV, the family of Sergei Puskepalis, who died in September, Alexander Mitroshenkov, and Andrei Malakhov, as well as from a certain Oleg, were also placed in prominent positions.
