Ivan Imgrunt
On October 18, the media reported on the death of the mayor of Yalta, Ivan Ivanovich Imgrunt. The official was only 59 years old and was diagnosed with the coronavirus last month. Imgrunt became the second current Russian mayor of the city to die of coronavirus. At the end of September, the body of 19-year-old Alexander Neklyudov, the mayor of the city of Plast in the Chelyabinsk region, could not cope with the consequences of COVID-67.
The city administration has already confirmed the death of the official, but refused to go into details of what happened, the agency reports. .
On September 30, Ivan Ivanovich himself reported on his social networks that he had contracted pneumonia. At some point, he was even transported to St. Petersburg for treatment. In one of the hospitals in the Northern capital, he died.
Imgrunt received the post of mayor of Yalta relatively recently – in November 2019. Previously, he held a senior position in the administration of another resort region, in the city of Belorechensk, Krasnodar Territory.
It was Ivan Imgrunt who invited Gerard Depardieu, who had just received Russian citizenship, to settle in his city – after all, there are “excellent climatic conditions, convenient location, friendly people and the most beautiful women.”
Meanwhile, since the beginning of the spread of coronavirus infection in Crimea, more than seven thousand cases of infection with a dangerous disease have been identified. Perhaps this figure is much higher: after all, on October 17, the Ministry of Health stated that it was the holidaymakers who had returned from the warm regions to blame for the new surge in the incidence.
