| Lugansk president's parents die in Voronezh |
| 2016-09-21 |
| The unidentified parents of Lugansk president Igor Plotnitskiy died Tuesday in Voronezh oblast, according to Russian language media accounts. The two pensioners were admitted to a local hospital last weekend, then later transferred to a hospital in Moskva, where they died. The cause of death was said to be food poisoning from mushrooms. Plotnitsky himself was seriously wounded by a roadside bomb in Lugansk last August. Plotnitsky is not a popular leader in Lugansk and has been linked to the deaths of several military formation commanders under his command, most of them ethnic Cossacks. |
