This is reported by TASS.

As noted by Tolstoy, who is the chairman of the jury of the Yasnaya Polyana Prize, which included Kurbatov, the cause of the writer's death could be a blood clot.

“Unfortunately, this is true.

Valentin Yakovlevich died as he lived, like a real knight: he went to his wife for flowers, bought a bouquet, and with a bouquet in his hands fell on the street and died suddenly.

Most likely, the cause is a blood clot, ”he said.

Earlier it became known that the writer, critic and literary critic Valentin Kurbatov died at the age of 81.
