The telegram said, in part:
“Please accept my condolences on Artyom’s death. A tragedy took the life of your son and husband, and brought enormous grief and loss.
Artyom Borovik, a talented and well-known Russian journalist, had his own mission, plans and dreams, his favourite profession. Readers always eagerly read his articles. He was respected by colleagues and loved by his family.
With all my heart I share the pain of your loss.”
