The

Bogdanoff brothers

, the most famous twins in France, known for having launched the first science fiction television program in the country, have died six days apart, following the death of Igor on Monday.

The two were admitted on December 15 to the Georges Pompidou hospital in Paris and the first, Grichka, died on December 28,

at the age of 72

.

Although the family did not want to comment on the cause, their environment had assured the press that neither of them was vaccinated against the coronavirus and when Grichka died, after several days in a coma, he

attributed his death to Covid

.

According to the BFM TV chain, they were not anti-vaccines but they

considered that they were in good physical shape

and that they were not part of the group that should be immunized.

The twins, descendants of the Austrian aristocracy, rose to fame in France as hosts of the science fiction program "Temps X",

aired from 1979 to 1987

.

Igor and Grichka, who on that broadcast wore

striking silver jumpsuits

, were also recognized by their particular face, with its prominent chin and cheekbones.

Despite the obvious transformation of their face over the years, both had denied having resorted to cosmetic surgery or suffering from acromegaly.

Anti-vaccines

Luc Ferry, professor of Philosophy and former Minister of Education, a friend of the brothers, assured the

Parisien

in December

that the Bogdanoffs were not vaccinated.

"Grichka, like Igor,

was not anti-vaccines for the population, but for himself

: I told him that was grotesque. That they were crazy!" Said Luc Ferry on December 29, the day after the death of Grichka.

"They were very athletic, without a gram of fat, they believed that the vaccine was more dangerous. They never got sick"

They were

doctors in Physics and Mathematics

, writers and leading figures in popular science for the general public, although part of the scientific community had criticized their work and considered that it had little value.

The twins were also at the helm of "Rayons X", from 2002 to 2007, and of "À deux pas du futur", between 2010 and 2011, and defended themselves from criticism claiming that some experts

were unable to accept a point of view atypical

.

In June 2018 were i

mputados for swindling

a vulnerable person suspected of having taken advantage of the vulnerability of a millionaire 54 years who committed suicide in August of that year, and the trial before the Correctional Tribunal of Paris was planned for this January, according the newspaper

Le Monde
