Sergei Ignatov, co-founder and sound engineer of Echo of Moscow Radio, has died. This was announced on March 9 by Andrei Kravchenko (Anton Orekh), a journalist at the radio station.

"Sergey has been fighting cancer for the last three years. He fought not just courageously, but heroically! At the same time, I worked until the last opportunity and always asked: guys, send texts, sign up — this is an outlet for me," he writes in his Telegram channel.
