You know, I saw that Mikhail Zadornov had died this morning, and it was bothering me all day. I know that name from somewhere. Check shortlist/long list, nope. Check some other spots.

 

Just twigged they were on Switch's Deathlist Cup team. That's why I've heard of him.

 

Anyhow, he was a Russian comedian, and he's dead at 69.

Pancreatic cancer is still pretty deadly, so I suspect it’ll come back and get him at some point. In the meantime, that means Olivia Newton-John is on my provisional 20 unless I find a suitable replacement for her...

Yes, I saw how he got better. Very, very unusual, especially with his history of alcoholism. I also think that it'll be back.

Aguirre Wrath of God the Herzog with the infamous line (badly paraphrased/remembered here) "Flying death sticks back in fashion"? Killed me when I saw it way back.

Here is a list of surviving People's Artists of the USSR. Remarkably, they all they all tend to receive an obituary in their home country (and usually one in Russia too).
