Vehicles line up to leave Burning Man in Nevada’s Black Rock Desert in 2023. Ten days after a Russian man was mysteriously killed among a crowd of tens of thousands at Burning Man, Russian media is reporting that the man’s father has asked President Trump to have the FBI investigate. The Instagram post contained several photographs of Kruglov enjoying himself at the festival. “A young and talented man, who made a big contribution to this world, has been killed,” the friend wrote. “And the person who did this is still walking free.” The post added: “We strongly believe a federal investigation is needed.”
