HE DIED OR WAS HE KILLED?
This question comes up from all sides. Without receiving the data from the post-mortem examination (it was carried out with the consent of relatives), we will not present our thoughts on this matter. Let's just say that the allergic syndrome that affected Yura was terrible. Two initial tests did not reveal the deadly substance.
The doctors of the Central Clinical Hospital, the consultants they invited and us, did everything possible for Yura. We are witnesses to this. But the cause (or, as doctors say, the “agent,” i.e., the substance that led to the allergic syndrome) has not been identified.
We promise to do everything to get to know her.
We are very grateful to the doctors.
We are grateful to the heads of the presidential administration for their serious participation in Yura’s fate.
We thank our colleagues from newspapers, television companies (including state-owned ones), and radio stations, who informed the country about Yura with sincere pain.
Low bow to Yura’s mother, Raisa Stepanovna.
It was she who consoled us, although it seemed to be the other way around.
The end has not been set either in this tragedy or in Yura’s life.
His books will be published.
His investigations will continue.
His scholarship will appear (probably not for excellent students, but for talented slobs).
After life.
That's what he called one of his books.
