YABLOKO leader Sergei Mitrokhin expressed condolences
to the family and friends of Anatoly Makhnovsky, Chairman
of the Territorial Council of local self-government for Kudepsta
residential district, who suddenly died yesterday.
Makhnovsky, aged 70, died on September 11 about 1 p.m. under
unclear circumstances.
According to one of the versions, he was talking to a local
woman at a bus stop, stumbled, fell down, hit his head and
died. However, there is additional information: two police
officers were standing next to him and their role was unclear.
Moreover, a folder with documents on the disputed Kudepstinskaya
thermal plant he had with him during the accident suddenly
disappeared.
It is not ruled out that Makhnovskys death was connected
with his fight against the construction of the Kudepstinskaya
thermal plant.
