"The first, of course, words of condolences to Vladlen's relatives. I knew him personally, met him, talked. Not so often, but I had to. A big loss. I wish recovery to the victims," Vlasov said.
He also said that he knew "perfectly" the hall where Tatarsky was today.
"I also planned to perform on Saturday. On April 1, we wanted to hold a patriotic meeting to discuss the events that are taking place in Ukraine. To discuss the approaching memorable date for everyone - on April 6, Vladimir Volfovich Zhirinovsky passed away. We planned to hold an evening of remembrance on the 1st and also discuss his prophecies and predictions. And on April 2, open the exhibition, but the circumstances have changed, and we decided to postpone a week later. Before that, we had planned to spend this Saturday... I could have gone to this meeting and I would have sat there next to me... But fate saved me from the fact that I could be there today. We also gathered people, but decided to postpone them later, "the deputy said.
