The RIA news agency later quoted Pavel Palachenko, head of media relations at the Gorbachev Foundation, as saying that the ceremony at the Hall of Columns would be organized by the protocol service of the Putin government. “There is no information on whether this is considered a state funeral or not,” he told RIA. Many high-ranking politicians, intellectuals, poets and royalty have been buried at Novodevichy Cemetery since it was founded in the 16th century – among them Boris Yeltsin, Russia’s first president and Gorbachev’s political rival. It is also the resting place of Gorbachev’s wife Raisa, who died in 1999. Nikita Khrushchev is the only other Soviet leader buried there, with most others resting within the walls of the Kremlin in Red Square. When Yeltsin died in 2007, he was buried with full state honors. President Vladimir Putin, his successor, declared a day of national mourning. TASS reported that Peskov said the Kremlin would announce later whether Putin would attend the funeral. Putin earlier on Wednesday sent his condolences to Gorbachev’s relatives via telegram. The Kremlin hailed the late politician as an outstanding global statesman who helped end the Cold War, but he was very wrong about the prospect of rapprochement with the “bloodthirsty” West. read more Sign up now for FREE unlimited access to Reuters.comSign up Reporting by Reuters Editing by Andrew Osborn, Alexandra Hudson Our Standards: The Thomson Reuters Trust Principles.
