Creator Nikita Melkozerov dies at 38 after alarming final interview
Nikita Melkozerov, the creator of a well-known project, passed away suddenly on December 21 at the age of 38. His death followed a job interview in which he appeared visibly drained. Belarusian journalist Dzmitry Hurnevich conducted the discussion, which has since drawn attention.
Alexander Lukashuk later spoke about the interview, describing Melkozerov’s condition as alarming. The 38-year-old looked exhausted, his usual playfulness and humour absent. Lukashuk also noted that Melkozerov’s features seemed sunken during their conversation.
Lukashuk suggested possible causes for Melkozerov’s low energy, including low blood pressure or an unseen burden weighing on him. The observations came after the interview but before the creator’s unexpected death.
Melkozerov’s passing has left questions about his health in the days leading up to December 21. The interview, now widely referenced, captured a side of him that concerned those close to the project. His sudden death at 38 remains under discussion among colleagues and followers.
