This is an amazing story. Congratulations on your courage and the chance you have with your mother which many others do not. Even if it is small it is a source of hope.
This is the first case I’ve heard of where brain only cryonics was combined with a traditional funeral. KrioRus is the only current cryonics company that does brain only right now, so it is possible that more such cases may originate there in the future.
If this does become public in Russia, we may be presented with a useful data point about how controversial brain-only cryonics is. My theory is that it is less controversial and easier to rationalize for people who have failed to internalize the fact that the brain is a human being. If Ted Williams had been brain only, I wonder how that controversy would have played out differently.
The main point is that the body was legaly buried. By law the body is the skeleton, not the brain.
If Criorus failed, I can take the brain home and keep it in the refrigiratoir.
Even in US the brain is not covered by law and was many times removed without agreement with relatives. See e.g. A.Einstein brain history.
