In Rezh, a conscript who died under unclear circumstances in the Kursk region was buried
On June 23, 2026, the funeral of 20-year-old conscript Maxim Mironov, who died under mysterious circumstances in the Kursk region on the border with Ukraine, took place in Rezh, reports the EAN agency.
According to relatives of the deceased Maxim Mironov, the young man went to serve in the army last autumn. When the special military operation began in 2022, he was a 16-year-old boy and helped the front by weaving camouflage nets. The recruit ended up in Naro-Fominsk, Moscow region. However, at the end of April, Maxim informed his mother that he was being pressured to sign a contract. Otherwise, as he was threatened, he would be sent to the Kursk border area. The young man was firmly determined not to sign anything and found himself on the border with Ukraine just five days later.
In one of his last conversations with relatives, Maxim mentioned that the place where they were stationed was calm, but he did not know exactly where they were. On May 15, a certain major called his mother and informed her that her only son had died.
The official notification of Maxim's death was received by the family on May 27. It stated that on May 13, there was an accidental discharge of a weapon. The accompanying report indicated that the conscript's death was not related to the performance of military duties. The relatives categorically disagree with such wording. They also intend to seek an investigation to establish the circumstances of his death.
Marina Lebedeva, chairwoman of the Union of Soldiers' Mothers Committees of the Sverdlovsk region, confirmed to EAN that the wording affects whether the mother will receive the state benefits for the death of her child.
"For some reason, commanders of military units, military commissars, and even prosecutors sometimes believe that one must die in battle with a gun in hand to receive the wording 'while performing military duty'," she noted.
