Political scientist Gleb Pavlovsky died the same day as Russian opponent Boris Nemtsov. Eight years passed between the two events.
The founder of the Effective Policy Fund, Gleb Pavlovsky, died on the night of February 27. He was 71 years old. It is known that the cause of death was serious illness.
– The late Gleb Pavlovsky was, together with Surkov, the chief polytechnician of the Kremlin and Putin for 10 years at that time when political technologies were flourishing. And when Russia quickly emerged from the crisis of the 90s and entered an era of prosperity and wealth. Pavlovsky, with the wisdom of an Odessa serpent, helped Putin and his Chekists to manage Russia. As the chief polytechnician, writes Russian analyst Sergei Markov.
Pavlovsky, who later took an opposition view, died on the same date as famous Russian statesman Boris Nemtsov. During a briefing on February 27, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said he had nothing to add to information about the investigation into the death of a politician. Recall that Nemtsov was killed on February 27, 2015 around midnight on the Bolshoy Moskvoretsky Bridge in central Moscow. The client of the crime is still not found.
