Requiescat in pace.
Am I the only one to react?
Reduced to tears
Just one comment from Russian YT:
Павел ! Простите нас, что мы не знали , что не помогли, что в самый страшный час вы остались в одиночестве
Pawel ! Forgive us, for not knowing, for not helping, for leaving you alone in these horrific times.
Eternal memory.

A very gifted, brilliant pianist.
And just imagine, if he hadn’t have been a musician, this slipped disc post would never have happened, those illustrious signatures, Argerich, Rattle and co would never have been signed. Pavel would probably have died incognito like so many others.
As Robert F Kennedy jnr has said, the war in Ukraine is being allowed to happen to provide lucrative contracts for us arms suppliers.
And the war in the middle east – Israel/Palestine is being fuelled to avenge the 9/11 event.
Yes all trouble in the world comes from America. Everybody else is pure angelic.
C’est beau mais c’est triste.
Anima eius requiescat in pace in aeternum.
