Early on July 9 Anton Nossik, 51, passed away. He was with friends at a dacha when he suffered a sudden heart attack.
One of the founders of the Russian Internet, Nossik founded several large news sites, including Lenta.ru and Gazeta.ru.
“It was Nossik who came up with [a vision for] Russian online media, and almost every single big outlet is still the same,” fellow blogger and colleague Maxim Kononenko wrote on Lenta.ru.
