Memories of Andreii Akaiomov, September 23 1997:

Sunny August weekend 1997 Volodia was installing a satellite antenna. He installed the antenna on the roof of the building, then start doing wiring for antenna rotating engine. At one moment it was necessary for him to hang out from the window . He lived on the 4 floor of apartment building. Very familiar with rock-climbing equipment and wiring, Volodia secured himself with a rope. On his way out from the window he stand on the heat radiator and reached the electric cable, hanging from the roof. For unknown reason that wire was under high voltage. The electric shock hit him on full body length. His daughter tried to help him. But he ordered her not to touch him. She unplug the cable and called an ambulance.

He was still alive when ambulance arrived. You have to know, what kind of medical service is in Uzbekistan, to understand why he died, being in hospital.

Volodia left wife Nina, son and daughter. Just a week before that, he and Volodia Jordan did a memorial trip in mountains, devoted to Sasha Zubko. Volodia Hmurovich was in excellent physical condition. That spring he climbed Chimgan (3338m) and skied it down.

He was dying in a very strong pain for hours... Who is next?
