Playwright Arkady Yakovlevich Struggles to Cope with the Loss of his Son

We previously reported that Arkady Yakovlevich admitted in an interview that he could not come to terms with the loss of his son. “I didn’t cope, I didn’t cope with anything …” – said the playwright. The playwright learned about the death of Konstantin in a restaurant where he came with his relatives to remember his wife: “Friends know that my wife left me, we lived with her for 60 years. A year later, on her birthday, November 13, we gathered in a restaurant: the eldest son Vadim, my daughter-in-law and me. Kostya was in Turkey – we sent him an SMS, they say, we are sitting and remembering our mother. At this time, Vadim got a call. He turned pale, then his wife Natasha says: “Troubles at work.” The son didn’t say anything. They told me only the next day, I don’t know how they endured.”
