"Something broke, cracked"

The first vice speaker of the Parliament of the Krasnoyarsk Territory Alexei Kleshko died

In Krasnoyarsk, on Monday, the first vice-speaker of the Legislative Assembly of the region Alexei Kleshko brought his life on Monday. The criminal case was instituted under the article “Bringing to suicide”, but for the investigation this, judging by his statements, is only the necessary formality - “since a much larger amount of investigative actions and examinations can be carried out in the framework of the criminal case.” From the comments, in fact, it follows that the departure of the deputy was voluntary: Kleshko, as reported in the Krasnoyarsk investigation, left several dying notes.

According to 360TV, referring to anonymous sources in the bodies, shortly before the tragedy from the mobile deputy sent a message: "Please bury without honors."

It was established that in the apartment Kleshko was alone before death. He did not have families, he had children, his mother, to whom he was very attached, died several years ago. The neighbors who discovered the body of Kleshko at the house where he lived reported the death of the deputy to the bodies. In May last year, almost in the same place near the house, the body of the vice-mayor of Krasnoyarsk Yuri Parygin was found.

Kleshko was 48 years old, he headed the United Russia faction in the regional parliament. Having gone into politics in 1996 (first to the City Council, since 2001-in the Legislative Assembly of the region), Alexei did not leave the profession-he was a famous television journalist, worked on the regional radio, the chief editor of the first regional independent radio company "Local Time". And, having arrived in the regulation, he continued to conduct programs on the leading Krasnoyarsk TV channel of the TVC, several years ago he received TEFI for an interview with former Minister of Finance Alexei Kudrin.

Despite the place of work and status, Alexei Mikhailovich invariably retained the human face, the Krasnoyarsk residents could easily write to him in social networks in a personal, and he helped.

His surname always surfaced the first when, resting against the wall, local activists and communities began to think about who to turn to the regional authorities. A certain line has long been crossed, and the untimely deaths of prominent politicians and businessmen do not cause even signs of sorrows among the people, rather satisfaction; Here is another, since flowers today carry not only to the Kleshko cabinet in the Legislative Assembly (these are “their own”, who has a pass), but also directly onto the porch of the present place. These are ordinary townspeople and here - a spontaneous memorial. Television workers brought an air jacket of Kleshko, and flowers put on it.

Kleshko as a politician was formed in the 90s, when the Krasnoyarsk Territory headed the struggle for real federalism in Siberia. There are no longer any of the senior comrades (Krasnoyarsk Novikov, Kuzmin, teeth, Irkutan Knozhikov, Novosibirsk Mukha) who played for the real federation with the equality of all its subjects, with the control of the regions over how the center uses their resources. Nevertheless, Kleshko dared, say, at the last Krasnoyarsk Economic Forum to answer the feds as follows:

“Not a single person with Moscow or St. Petersburg residence has the right to criticize Krasnoyarsk - you live beautifully with our money.”

Kleshko perfectly understood that its edge has one problem - decolonization. Well, he did - what he could.

Colleagues, comrades, university teachers who remember Alexei well and who continued to communicate with him until recently - everyone with whom he talked is refused to believe in suicide. The same comments are in social networks and the Krasnoyarsk media. Our acquaintance (he is a quarter of a century), personal impressions of the vivid vitality of Alexei Mikhailovich also does not correlate with the organs, drive into cognitive dissonance.

In the last post on Facebook, on November 17, Kleshko published photos from the Holy Assumption Monastery: “He was in the evening service in the temple in honor of the icon of the Mother of God“ The Tsaritsa ”of the Assumption Monastery. How mentally, strictly and warmth here! "

The Metropolitan of the Krasnoyarsk and Achinsky Panteleimon said on November 19: “What happened is a disaster. This is pain, I think, each of us. A creative, energetic person. He was a person. But something broke, something cracked. So that a person voluntarily passed away. This is the tragedy of the whole society. Man violated the commandment of the preservation of the life that the Lord gave. But we deeply believe in the mercy of God and condescension to human shortcomings. ”

Late in the evening of November 18, Kleshko was connected in social networks on the issues of the Viktor Petrovich Astafyev charitable foundation he supervised by him Daria Mosunova - now it seems that these orders regarding work with children were the habit of bringing things to the end. His last words in correspondence with her: "Let everything be fine."
