The patriotic camp also responded to Nosik’s death. In particular,
Russian publicist of Jewish origin Israel Shamir noted on his page on the social network:
“Anton Nosik died. Despite ideological differences, I could never really get angry at him. He was a very pleasant person in everyday communication, affable and friendly. He was looking for himself - he tried to become a Jew (he was not a Jew by birth), even called himself a Georgian, dissident, abused drugs and alcohol, and was an elegant dandy. Personally, I liked him, we saw each other in Moscow and Goa, but we were not close. Peace be upon his ashes, and peace and rest to his soul.”
The cause of death was reported to be a cardiovascular attack.
