The Russian article says he worked in the “department of special piano”….evidently not especially healthy.
You are the one who is sick.
There is no information available on the cause of death. A duel? Struck by lightning? Traffic accident? Vodka overdose? An unfortunate illness? An omission by the Russian site that can only encourage speculation. Heartfelt condolences to his family, colleagues and friends.
It must be wonderful to be so clever.
Indeed it must be. But can you (or anyone else) explain what “на кафедре специального фортепиано” means?
It mean that he was teaching piano major students.
It means that Russians haven’t got round to write the letters in the right way. My uncle David went to Russia on a vacation trip in the nineties, had learned some basic Russian, but pronounced the letters in such a way that many misunderstandings occurred and he was arrested and put in jail for 3 weeks.

Russians now have this typical life span, it is a deadly place to live.
Sadly I have seen many untimely deaths recently among artists, and not just Russians, but everyone. Many do not list cause of death.
Now SD addicts can engage in endless speculation — until the next breathless headline hits the site.
A musician is an artist , a feeling sensitive person . We live in times of big changes , great advancements but also great injustices and cruelties . Not an easy time for people that feel and are compassionate . Not surprising that several of our major great singers and musicians are dying younger nowadays.
