G. Neschorov reportedly died at his home after ingesting poisonous mushrooms collected from his yard. Although Neschorov was known for mushroom picking, the specific batch he gathered proved toxic.
Professionally, Neschorov held the position of chief editor for the Moskovsky Korrespondent newspaper in 2008. The newspaper faced significant controversy when it published a report alleging that V. Putin intended to divorce his wife, Lyudmila Putin, to marry gymnast A.
Kabaeva. Following the publication of this story, the newspaper’s owner, Alexander Lebedev—who has backgrounds in the KGB, banking, and business—was subsequently compelled to cease operations. During this period, Neschorov was reportedly questioned by special services and allegedly faced threats, which prompted him to leave the country, although he later returned to Russia.
Separately, V. Putin has commented on Russia’s strategic standing, stating that the nation’s current advantage is unlikely to change regardless of external pressures.
