If it is true - very sorry. Leaves era. Man has passed away, so fond of Russia, with immense charisma. Sympathy family and friends.

In general, it is a restorer of paintings and icons.

God forbid!

I deeply regret. My sympathy to the relatives and friends. Complete motion and vacated. Charisma was. When such as he, colorful, beautiful, impressive, walks, requests, demands or inspire (or someone drinks ... in the case, of course), then the case will move out of place in the right direction ...

Once upon a time, in Karelia, where he had just started his way restorer, was in his little workshop, just a little room, he was already restored. I remember already cleared St. George ... Then he had only heard about his party activities. Made a lot, and as a person influenced ... He will not forget ...

The earth is down and the kingdom of heaven ... it bothered him for ...

Eternal memory.
