“For the last week, Yegor was ill, suffered from insomnia and was in a gloomy state of mind. However, there was no talk of any suicide. Despite the failure of our payment system and a host of other working problems, the editor-in-chief did not plan any capitulations in any form, and plans for the following year were truly large-scale, if not grandiose. Moreover, Yegor wrote a furious New Year’s address to the Russians (will be published on our resources). there is no need to talk about leaving life.
So what exactly happened on December 27th? Yegor decided to drown out the physical pain and existential melancholy with alcohol, as almost all of us do in such moments. Let almost all of us know that this cannot be done. Around 12 o’clock in the afternoon there was an ordinary domestic quarrel with my wife. Marina Prosvirnina left the apartment around 3 pm, and Yegor locked himself from the inside. Another hour and a half later, the landlord called Marina and said that a man’s body lay under the balcony on Tverskoy Boulevard. Marina, together with Yegor’s mother Victoria Viktorovna, immediately arrived at the scene. To our common horror, it turned out that the deceased was Yegor Prosvirnin…
What really happened to Yegor Prosvirnin? All the circumstances of his death known to us indicate that it was an unfortunate, tragic, monstrous accident. Egor did not plan to commit suicide, and his fatal flight from the fourth floor of a house on Tverskaya was a terrible but accident.”
