We previously reported that Arkady Yakovlevich admitted in an interview that he could not come to terms with the loss of his son. “I didn’t cope, I didn’t cope with anything …” – said the playwright. The playwright learned about the death of Konstantin in a restaurant where he came with his relatives to remember his wife: “Friends know that my wife left me, we lived with her for 60 years. A year later, on her birthday, November 13, we gathered in a restaurant: the eldest son Vadim, my daughter-in-law and me. Kostya was in Turkey – we sent him an SMS, they say, we are sitting and remembering our mother. At this time, Vadim got a call. He turned pale, then his wife Natasha says: “Troubles at work.” The son didn’t say anything. They told me only the next day, I don’t know how they endured.”
