A farewell ceremony for the murdered nine-year-old Pasha was held in St. Petersburg.

Dozens of people gathered on the territory of the Southern Cemetery of St. Petersburg to say goodbye to the murdered nine-year—old Pasha Tifitulin - grieving people carry flowers and exchange short speeches with each other. Izvestia publishes footage from the venue of the ceremony on February 11.

Nikita Sorokin, a lawyer for the boy's family, previously reported on the Telegram channel that everyone could come to the central square of the cemetery and gather in the opposite direction from the chapel, where a spontaneous memorial surrounded by funeral flower arrangements was organized inside a blue tent.

The newcomers, forming a queue, stand under the fine snow, wipe away their tears and support each other. Many carry red carnations, white roses and chrysanthemums in their hands. The place of farewell is guarded by representatives of law enforcement agencies and the Russian Guard.
