In Moscow, in the Botkin Hospital, the production designer of "Khisol" Alexander Kondratov, who was accused of treason, died. 52-year-old Alexander Kondratov is the production designer of the series "Kissol", winner of the Golden Eagle and TEFI awards. He was arrested for treason. On October 23, he was taken to the hospital from the pre-trial detention center. This is what the first class reported. Since 2012, Kondratov lived in Kyiv. In the spring of 2026, he arrived in Russia to exchange his international passport, but was stopped while passing through border control at the airport in Nokovo. After his arrest, he was repeatedly sent to administrative detention in cases of petty hooliganism. In total, he spent more than 70 days under so-called "carousel" detentions. In August, Kondratov was placed in pre-trial detention on charges of treason. Six online postings became grounds for criminal prosecution. Kondratov's death was at least the eleventh death of a person involved in a political case in Russia since the beginning of 2026. This is the second such incident in the last two weeks. On October 14, a 49-year-old political prisoner, Rustam Khalikov, died in Correction Colony No. 4 in the Penza region.
