Before the start of the funeral ceremony for the first and only president of the ex-USSR, the late Mikhail Gorbachev, which is currently underway in Moscow, many reporters who came to the event learned that they did not have accreditation to cover this event, Moskovskii Komsomolets reported.

According to reports, accreditation was not given to the American ABC News either.

The media added that Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban also has come to Gorbachev's funeral ceremony.

Mikhail Gorbachev had died Wednesday night—and after a long and severe illness.
