Andrey Sklyarov (1961-2016) is a scientist, a unique talented researcher, physicist, writer, director and an outstanding personality, the soul of the company and the undisputed leader. Andrei, an engineer-physicist, a graduate of the Faculty of Aeromechanics and Flight Engineering of the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (1984), began his professional career at the center of Soviet cosmonautics in Korolev, at TsNIIMASH. Space programs, exploration of the Universe, advanced technologies, the creation of space exploration apparatuses, the setting of super-tasks and non-trivial solutions, perhaps the whole atmosphere of the Royal "science city" contributed to the formation of a bright, extraordinary mind, an inquisitive practitioner and a deep analyst.

The right question is already half the answer. And a dozen of the right uncomfortable questions can destroy the most established theory and shake the dominant paradigm. Andrei learned himself and taught others not to be afraid to ask the right questions, to see inconsistencies between a fact and its description, to think and not give in to the opinion of people endowed with scientific titles and regalia. Behind the famous “why?” there was a painstaking study of material on history, archeology, ancient literature, physics, chemistry, genetics, and biology. In cases where the assumption had a weak evidence base, Andrei left the question open without embarrassment, not trying to fit the “beautiful” theory to the available facts. As an experimental physicist, he was only interested in facts, and only on their basis did Andrei draw conclusions that underlie his literary works. Phenomenal memory allowed him to instantly calculate the most probable directions of solution from various fields of knowledge, sweeping aside dead-end theories, which, as a rule, are recognized as dogmas in the scientific community. Meticulously and methodically, step by step, collecting and analyzing material, mountains of material, always reaching the primary source, Andrei uncovered unscrupulous research and, with the inexorable frankness of a physicist, proved the failure of one or another established historical and cultural cliche. He owns the phrase that has already become popular: "If the facts contradict the theory, it is necessary to throw out the theory, not the facts." But Andrei not only threw out theories that were outdated and contradictory to the facts, which could liken him to “sofa” critics, he put forward new hypotheses based on proven facts found in the process of expeditions and laboratory research.

After completing the work on the philosophical treatise "Physics of the Spirit", in which, from the point of view of physics, the features of the world of the spirit are explained on the basis of the position of the unity of spirit and matter from purely scientific positions without involving any supernatural and unknowable entities to help, the accumulated working materials for the analysis ancient literature, myths of the peoples of the world and legends, gradually lead Andrei to a closer study of the concepts of "gods" and "highly developed beings." Which in turn leads to the search for material traces of their presence on our earth. Andrei devotes himself to the search for irrefutable evidence of the existence of a highly technologically advanced civilization (ECC) on our planet in antiquity and finds it, turning the view of thousands and thousands of people about ancient history, archeology and architecture. Andrew called this civilization "gods" for short. However, there is no religious connotation in this definition. The term was taken as a basis only because of the numerous references in the mythology of various peoples to certain gods (moreover, anthropomorphic) who gave them knowledge, art and crafts, taught metallurgy and agriculture.

For 12 years, Andrey has made 27 research trips, including expeditions to Egypt, Karelia, Mexico, Ethiopia, Peru, Bolivia, Syria, Lebanon, Iran, Jordan, Israel, Greece, Japan, Easter Island, Turkey and Armenia, Mediterranean islands. The facts found during the expeditions, as well as their subsequent analysis, can be found in 32 books and monographs by Andrey Sklyarov. And films based on the results of the expeditions have already been viewed by more than ten million people. Terabytes of information on “cuts”, “polygonal masonry”, “megaliths” and other traces of the presence of an ancient highly developed civilization on our planet have been filmed and analyzed.

Andrei always shared the results of his research and hypotheses on his website "Laboratory of Alternative History", in books, films, and he was literally bombarded with letters with questions. People, in whose minds Andrey's ideas broke the established stereotypes, sought to communicate with him, offered their theories ... This is how the idea of ​​holding international seminars in collaboration with Dmitry Pavlov's Research Institute of Hypercomplex Systems in Geometry and Physics was born. The seminars were open and available to everyone, and only the topics of the reports were carefully selected - no momentary sensationalism, jaundice or fantasies of inadequate people. During the seminars, Andrey conducted tours of objects and artifacts with traces of the DVC presented in the films, generously shared the accumulated facts, read reports, and after each performance, the audience did not let Andrey off the stage, asking countless questions until his voice just fell apart. At the seminar reports, theories were honed, the evidence base was polished, plans for further expeditions to the possible locations of the DVC and the search for their material traces were discussed and considered. Most of the seminars were held in Egypt, as in the most accessible of the countries rich in ancient artifacts.

The book “Civilization of the Ancient Gods of Egypt” and the first film from the series “Forbidden Themes of History” “Mysteries of Ancient Egypt” convincingly proved the presence on the territory of modern Egypt of traces of the WTC, on the ruins of which the civilization of Ancient Egypt arose, so well known to us from history textbooks. From the materials collected, a completely different view of the history of the Egyptians emerges: the pharaohs only “repaired”, and also unsuccessfully tried to repeat the technologies and construction capabilities of their predecessors. But not only the ancient Egyptians could not use the technologies of the "gods", the analysis of the thicknesses and depths of the cuts left on some architectural objects also confirmed a certain technological failure of our civilization at the present stage.

Having set out to find irrefutable evidence of the activities of the "gods" that existed in antiquity on our planet, Andrey organizes an expedition to other continents: to Mexico, Peru and Bolivia, thereby fairly replenishing the collection of artifacts that are traces of the presence of the "gods": technologies and design features. Books and films "Unknown Mexico" and "Peru and Bolivia long before the Incas" are published.

In the light of the accumulated expeditionary material, the analysis of scientific historical, geological, archaeological and mythological literature, not only the history of human development, but also the history of our planet begins to emerge in a completely different perspective, not familiar to us. Andrey Sklyarov's research in the field of paleogeography, which is presented in the book "How old is planet Earth?" (the title from the publishing house - "Sensational History of the Earth") confirm the theory, first stated in the 19th century by the Prussian geographer Alexander von Humboldt, and further supported by Dmitry Mendeleev, as well as Soviet scientists in the 50s of the 20th century, about the abiogenic origin of natural resources - oil and gas. And the idea of ​​the expansion of the planet Earth under the influence of the dehydration of the core, although it looks sensational and alternative from the point of view of the school curriculum of geography, is currently considered as an official hypothesis in the modern scientific world.

Along with the material base of the traces of an ancient highly technologically advanced civilization, philosophical questions are also accumulating. If a person is not the king of nature, and not a product of the progressive development of ciliates-shoes, then who is he then? Led or leader? A non-trivial answer to these questions is Andrey Sklyarov's book "Inhabited Island Earth". Although the title of the book refers the reader to the works of the Strugatskys, the hypotheses presented in it are far from science fiction, as they are the result of an analysis of legends, artifacts found and modern scientific achievements.

Expeditions to “biblical” places become a logical continuation and approach to “before and after the flood” times: Ethiopia, Syria, Lebanon, Iran, Israel. Films are released: “In the wake of the Ark of the Covenant” (with the book of the same name), “Oriental Collection: from heritage to fakes”, “Promised Land”. Such a dense saturation of this historical and cultural space with "gods", on the one hand, and material evidence of the real life of these same "gods", on the other hand, required a comprehensive understanding and analysis. Who are these gods, where did they come from, why did they come, why did our ancestors consider them Gods, how are the distribution area of ​​the gods and the origins of ancient agriculture (according to N. Vavilov), the relationship between divine and human civilizations. Andrey set out the answers to these questions in the books: "The Syrian Crossroads of Civilizations", "The Ancient Gods - Who Are They?", "The Land of Baal" and "The Genetic Code of Man". No less interesting issues of interaction between a person and representatives of the DVC are discussed in the books "Metals - a gift from the heavenly gods" and "Objects of the gods and their copies".

However, dramatic and, one might say, "action-packed" relations developed not only between man and God, but also between the gods themselves. If we recall the ancient myths of the peoples of the world, the gods were not only endowed with anthropomorphic features, but also possessed all the passions inherent in man, such as envy, anger, cunning, love and jealousy.

The book "The Legacy of the Gods and the Empire of Yahweh" plunges into the world of intrigue on a "divine" level. And despite the fact that there are enough assumptions in the book, which the author openly declares, this work should not be attributed to the section of mythology.

There are manuscripts that do not burn, and there are books that live their own lives, dictating their terms. The idea of ​​this book had matured for a long time, but for various reasons Andrei did not want to undertake fundamental research in religious literature and put off this idea for several years. This summer, all of a sudden, the book literally wrote itself in a matter of months! .. It became Andrei's last work, completed just a few weeks before his death, and presented to the public a few days before his death. He did not want to write it, and he strove to finish it. Why did she turn out the way she did? We will have to answer this question ourselves ....

————————————-

The last thing Andrei Sklyarov would like is for the work of his life to end just as suddenly and at such an interesting stage. Therefore, we, his friends and associates, will continue our research work, organize seminars, travel around the world in search of new materials and make films!

Information promotes evolution. And we want to evolve further.

On September 15, 2016, Andrey Yuryevich Sklyarov died of a stroke. Unfortunately, I did not learn about this right away, and I was very surprised, because in all the photographs he looked like a rather young man, fig. one.

He and I did the same thing and got almost the same critical remarks and awards. The only time I managed to exchange a few words with him was our 2011 Best Writer of the Third Millennium award, so I didn't really know him well. But I knew the cause he served.

According to his relatives, one can get an idea of ​​the kind of work associated with dangers, which served as the basis of his illness. So, his widow Natalya Lyamenkova wrote: “ Problems have appeared before. Is always! after each expedition, ALL the equipment was covered up in the house "just like that, for no reason"! got out (thanks to Max and Daniyar), fully recovered (thanks to the doctors, by the way, free medicine in Korolev). In May, he had a heart attack after an accident in Armenia, in which several people were injured, including his son. Survived. The doctor said: "You need to live a year, this is the most difficult thing. If you live, everything will be ok. But you need to limit yourself in many ways: do not lift weights, do not get tired, no..no..no.." He could not. He could not be inactive, not the main, not decisive ... no.. no.. no ..» .

It is clear that moving to other climatic conditions in itself causes adaptation of the body, and returning causes readaptation, and it is not always clear which is more dangerous. A different atmospheric pressure along with a different temperature, a different mineral composition of water along with its different structure, a different microbiological fauna - all this can seriously damage even the strongest organism.

In the same note, Midgard-Info adds: “You can't be prepared for this. This cannot be recognized immediately. It is excruciatingly difficult to come to terms with this... Andrei Sklyarov is the founder and ideological leader of the "Laboratory of Alternative History" project, the author of dozens of books and films that have turned the ideas of thousands of people both in Russia and abroad about ancient history, architecture, archeology and paleogeography. A person who devoted himself to the search for material evidence of the existence of an ancient highly developed civilization on our planet. Adamantly defending his ideas from the position of an experimental physicist, relying only on the actual results of research, without compromising and not looking back at authorities, he shook the prevailing scientific theories. He taught us to ask uncomfortable questions, to think, analyze and rebuild the system. “If the facts contradict the theory, it is necessary to throw out the theory, not the facts».

I completely agree with this. And even with the fact that he shook the prevailing scientific theories. True, so far these theories have not collapsed, however, on the basis of the facts obtained by the Alternative History Laboratory, it is possible to build a different, non-academic historiography.

« We will all miss him. Relatives, relatives, friends, colleagues, like-minded people ... those who were "for" and "against", who heatedly discussed, argued, sometimes to the point of hoarseness ... There will be a lack of conversations and disputes, his new books, ideas, projects . With us remains only a huge Gratitude to him, his Idea, his Deed, and bright Memory. As long as we are alive» . - And we have to agree with this sad statement.

On the scientific heritage of Andrei Yurievich.

Collage of book covers by A.Yu. I borrowed Sklyarov and his portrait from a note. In addition to books, he created documentaries and held performances, as we can attest from the note of Kosmopoisk: “ We regret to inform you that Andrey Yuryevich SKLYAROV (04/24/1961 - 09/15/2016), researcher, director, creator of the "3rd Millennium Fund", died on the afternoon of September 15. Organized and participated in several expeditions to Egypt. Author of a 6-episode documentary film about the investigation of the mysteries of Ancient Egypt and Ancient Peru, creator of dozens of television programs on the topic of history. In October 2013, in particular, he participated in an expedition to Easter Island. He lectured several times at Kosmopoisk, the last lecture in 2016 was postponed several times due to illness, and now it will never take place».

The Laboratory of Alternative Historiography posted a 3-minute video on its website, where A.Yu. Sklyarov summed up: “ The first and most important result, in my opinion: The facts that some ancient highly developed civilization left traces on our planet in ancient times, as they say, are evident. They are. Moreover, a highly developed civilization in technical terms, which had a developed machine production. There are so many traces of these - we have found thousands of signs of this technology.

In my opinion, the question of whether there was or was not some kind of highly developed civilization here in antiquity is already closed. - Was! There are traces. This is 100% proof.

Rice. 3. The first 8 books by A.Yu. Sklyarova

Second. This 100% proof removes the most basic, the deepest contradiction to the approach that we now have in our academic attitude to ancient legends and traditions. We see that some highly developed civilization did it. The capabilities of this civilization far exceeded the capabilities of our ancestors, and the facts are evident, which means that there were some representatives - no matter what kind, but those whom our ancestors called gods. Accordingly, we are moving, we can move from the plane of the study of legends and traditions, as from fairy tales and fictions, to the plane of practical research. This is the second most important point in my opinion.

And thirdly, here we can already move on to searching for an answer to the question of what kind of civilization it was: terrestrial, alien ... And most importantly, we can try (after all, someone has already done this), we can try not to calculate these technologies , let's try to find only their analogues. But imagine what is mobile, that is, clearly mobile, like what exists in the mountains of Bolivia: I see mobile tools that cut rocks and move from place to place. We are solving questions about the development of hard-to-reach mountainous regions, we are solving the problem of developing other planets, and so on and so forth. We do not need to bring building materials there, we need technology and tools. Everything! This is actually a colossal and promising direction! I will not touch here on others that follow from them, but I believe that it is already possible to start moving in this direction. That is, to get away from disputes: it was-it was not! Everything! We have resolved this issue! Let's figure out what kind of civilization it was, and what opportunities it didn't have! And try to get ahead!

Here is what I ended up with» - I completely agree with Andrey Yurievich. I think so too. However, during the time of Rurik, I come across artifacts of terrestrial origin more, although it is likely that aliens taught many of the technological methods of earthlings.

Biography.

Unfortunately, Wikipedia does not have an article about him, however, it turned out to be possible to obtain objective data only on the “Fricopedia”: “Sklyarov Andrey Yurievich (1961) - researcher, traveler. Lives and works in Moscow. In 1984 he graduated from the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (Faculty of Aerophysics and Space Research, specialty - research physicist). In 1984-1986, he was an engineer at the Central Research Institute of Mechanical Engineering (space industry). 1986-1989 - Deputy Secretary of the Komsomol Committee for Ideology (vacated position). 1989-1990 - Leading Specialist of the Personnel Department of the Ministry of General Mechanical Engineering. 1990-1993 - Deputy General Director of the International Aerospace Company "Vertical".

Books and films.

Indeed, we received this literary award in the same year, after which I was elected to the Moscow branch of the Writers' Union of Russia. But here one inaccuracy was made: as far as I understand, he lived and worked in Korolev, near Moscow, and not in Moscow. But in terms of writing books, he could well also be a member of the Writers' Union of Russia. In any case, on the website of the Ozon store, I counted at least 25 books of various titles, the author of which was A.Yu. Sklyarov (Fig. 3, 4 and 5). True, I did not understand whether the books called "The Civilization of the Ancient Gods of Egypt" and "The Civilization of the Gods of Ancient Egypt" are different, because their names differ only in the order of words.

As for his films, they are listed in the note: “ 1 .The underwater world of Andrey Makarevich" - 2004; "2. Geometry of the Universe from different points of view" - 2007; "3. Forbidden topics of history" - 2005-2011; "4. Secret stories" - 2007-2008.All films are devoted exclusively to the topic of alternative history research. In addition to films and popular science articles, Andrey Yuryevich also actively publishes on the Internet. So, for example, he is the administrator of the Philosopher's Stone Club website, and is also one of the most popular authors on the largest site dedicated to alternative history, which is called the Alternative History Lab.

In terms of literature, A.Yu. Sklyarov is the owner of the international award "Golden Pen of Russia" (2009) and the title of "Best Author of the New Millennium". The most important feature of Andrei Sklyarov is that he does not build hypotheses and assumptions, but describes himself only on the facts and results of his expeditions. Thanks to this, the popularity of his works is growing every year, and more and more like-minded people gather around him.».

However, there are other films, such as 5, "The Promised Land, Footprints of the Gods, Part 1", a film created on the basis of material collected during an expedition to Israel. It is possible that Israel was really the “promised land” for Sklyarov, because his widow explained: “A lot of shit was poured on him: both the Jew and the people are fooling ... About the Jew ... - and which of us is not without a Jew?” As for his filmography, films should also be added here: 6, "Secrets of the Temple Mount", 7, "Peru and Bolivia long before the Incas", 8, "Nuclear War - Two Thousand Years Later", 9, "Analysis of microinclusions on ancient artifacts”, 10, “Forbidden themes of history: gaps in the ancient history of Japan”, “Space myths of the Dogon”, 11, “Pyramids.

Responses.

I will not name the authors of the responses, I will only refer to the source: “Thank you, Andrey Yuryevich, for your work, for your books and films”, “Unlike the vast majority of pseudoscientific figures, Sklyarov does not build any fantastic hypotheses based on his own imagination, but draws conclusions based on facts. And this is what deserves to at least get acquainted with his work. As for me, I agree with him on many topics. Despite the fact that I have been fond of alternative history for a very long time, I still do not lose my head and do not plunge into the delusional fantasies of the vast majority of authors of various alternative theories, based not on facts, but only on ideas that arise in the inflamed brain of these same authors. And I advise you to filter the information, I personally have definitely come to the conclusion that 90% of alternative theories are just nonsense! Andrey Yuryevich Sklyarov, although I don’t support him in everything (I think this is natural for a normal person with his own head on his shoulders), his work and approach deserve respect and say that the author does not fantasize, but analyzes ... Many thanks for such an approach!”, “I read all of Sklyarov’s books, watched all the films of the Alternate History Laboratory – this man has done more for science than dozens of institutes and hundreds of academicians... he is a practitioner – he measures, feels, compares and sets scientists very uncomfortable questions to which they have no answers, not to mention scientifically sound ones... it is precisely such people who correct mistakes in the knowledge of our (and before our) history...”. “After such facts, it is simply incomprehensible what professional historians are doing, stubbornly refusing to admit the obvious. Are they not interested in themselves? What are they then to hell with professionals? They are just parasites, like their colleagues Russian military historians.”

However, not all reviews were positive. There were also negative ones: “Stop fooling people. It has long been clear and proven that all the buildings he talks about are made of polymer concrete. And he has all the stones flying through the air, aliens built, machine processing and other nonsense. This is how he earns money on suckers like you. Read Nosovsky, Fomenko, Chudinov.

Another reader objects to him: “It’s just Nosovsky and Fomenko who need to read less, so they are brainwashed, Sklyarov is one of the few who bases everything only on facts, and polymer concrete according to Nosovsky is nonsense. I wonder if this is polymer concrete, then how was it poured out of it? It has traces of drilling and cutting. Another author writes: “Dear Andrey Yurievich! You invest so much labor, time, and talent in every work that the expense allows you to hope for a significant advance in knowledge. However, the book Fundamentals of the Physics of the Spirit is so primitive, based on such weak material, that it makes no sense to analyze it in detail. Its main drawback is that it does not take into account the categories of DEVELOPMENT, COMPLETENESS, COMPOSITION, INDIVIDUALITY AND OWN TIME of any object that exists. Without this, the presentation cannot contain NOVELTY, and without novelty, its value is less than a penny. These categories are disclosed in the works: http:www.koob.rurudoy. If YOU expand your research, taking into account the full characteristics of the object - the world will be a GENIUS! I sincerely wish YOU TO GO!”

And yet, the ending of the exchange of opinions is very positive: “ Sklyarov has a very adequate attitude to history. Thoughtful, wise. The superfluous sweeps away (contrived artifacts, for example), and what should be paid attention to, it carefully studies and analyzes. There should be as many scientists as possible. Thank you, Andrey!»

Discussion.

It is clear that every major researcher necessarily has people who sincerely do not understand him, so negative responses are even more indicative for me than positive ones. And vice versa, if a person does not have enough stars from the sky, but simply retells the opinions of strangers, there are neither positive nor negative reviews about him - he simply does not cause any opinions.

Andrey Yuryevich Sklyarov did a tremendous job of extracting specific data from distant countries. His activity is quite consonant with the results of the discoveries of travelers of antiquity, which were later referred to for centuries by their descendants - such as Herodotus, Marco Polo, Afanasy Nikitin. His books and films will be the subject of close study for a long time to come. He died, as befits a traveler - from diseases obtained in the process of research.

One may not agree with his individual provisions, one may not accept some of his hypotheses - but one cannot deny his enormous contribution to domestic alternative historiography. It is clear that his name is in such a glorious row as Isaac Newton, Andreas Gottlieb Mash, Lubor Niederle, Yuri Ivanovich Venelin, Nikolai Alexandrovich Morozov, Michael Kremo, Valery Nikitich Demin, Yuri Dmitrievich Petukhov, Svetlana Vasilievna Zharnikova, Anatoly Timofeevich Fomenko and more many, many other outstanding researchers who were not afraid to show the inconsistency of the current academic historiography with concrete examples.

I believe that the best monument to Andrei Yurievich will be the study of his works and the confirmation of a number of his assumptions.

Eternal memory to the great scientific ascetic of the Russian land!

Literature.

1. Lyamenkova Natalia. In loving memory of Andrey Sklyarov. Sklyarov Andrei Yurievich died on September 15, 2016, at the 56th year of his life. (Details). September 18, 2016.

The creator of the project "Laboratory of Alternative History" Andrey Yuryevich Sklyarov was known to many domestic and foreign readers and viewers, thanks to his research in the field of historical facts. Being a physicist by education and an erudite person, he questioned some of them, creating his own system for studying ancient legends, documents and artifacts according to the principle: "If the facts contradict the theory, you need to throw out the theory, not the facts." He devoted most of his life to his research. The cause of death of Andrei Sklyarov was a heart attack.

He was born in July 1961 and received the education of a physicist, but by reading a lot and being keenly interested in others, Andrei Yuryevich acquired a lot of knowledge, including historical. Considering some aspects of the development of modern civilization, he, as a specialist, drew attention to some inconsistencies and contradictions in the picture of the formation of the world proposed by historians. The natural desire to get answers to many questions led Sklyarov to see a lot with his own eyes and check some quite reasonable assumptions.

According to the testimony of relatives, Andrei Yuryevich had an analytical mindset. He knew how to quickly and correctly make complex calculations, retain a lot of information in his memory and apply them in judgments and reflections. A techie by nature, Sklyarov could look for bits of facts while reading a wide variety of books and documents, and he read fantastically a lot. To his main conclusion, he is an innate seeker and atheist, he came not immediately, but forever. Sklyarov became a supporter of the version of paleocontact - the interaction of ancient terrestrial civilizations with aliens from outer space.

This conclusion, which was not easy for him, had to be checked, double-checked and theoretically substantiated. Andrei Yuryevich made several trips to Egypt and Peru, which are considered the most possible points of contact between the first earthlings and aliens, and made films about these trips. He visited many places on the planet, where he hoped to find answers to a lot of questions of interest to him, wrote several books. Sklyarov had many like-minded people in Russia and abroad, who also tried and continue to try to find facts that would scientifically confirm their conclusions.

Sklyarov became the author of 6 episodes of a documentary film about the secrets of Ancient Egypt and the Peruvian state, spoke about his trip to Easter Island in 2013, about the mysteries of the history of Ethiopia, Mexico and other countries. He created several television programs about the historical heritage of the Earth and lectured at Kosmopoisk on topics that were of concern to him and his listeners. The search for a developed ancient civilization capable of shedding light on "prehistoric contact" became one of Sklyarov's main goals. Testing many of his assumptions, he tried to rely only on facts, confirmed by the point of view of an experimental physicist. He achieved some successful results, which he happily shared with readers, viewers, supporters and opponents of the theory. Failures, like every researcher, he also had a lot and they were not in vain for his well-being.

In response to the statements of the most radical admirers and followers of Andrei Yuryevich, declaring the violent cause of his death, one can cite the story of Sklyarov's wife that he was sick. He did not feel very well in the last years of his life and he had problems with the functioning of the cardiovascular system. For example, they often made themselves felt when traveling to sultry latitudes and upon arrival home. In 2015, he suffered a stroke while on an expedition to Turkey.

Andrei Yurievich should have been careful, but he was, at the same time, both a responsible and a gambling man. In May 2016, Sklyarov had an accident while traveling to Armenia and he had a heart attack, which doctors were also able to cure. He continued to ignore their advice to take care of himself, and in September the disease made itself felt shortly before his death and an ambulance was called for him. On September 15, 2016, he became ill again - that's why Andrei Sklyarov died, in the arms of his wife Natalia Lyamenkova, " not unexpectedly" and "very quickly" - according to her testimony.

He is buried in the city of Korolev near Moscow.
