Relatives, colleagues and friends came to see him off on his last journey. Several hundred people took the time to express their sadness at the sudden departure of a unique commentator whose harsh remarks are still remembered by fans. Other journalists who dreamed of professional success looked up to him. “Everyone who works on sports channels and on television in general, everyone considers him almost their teacher,” said football player Vladislav Radimov. “We met about 25 years ago and carried our communication through the years. They always treated each other with respect. Of course, I, like everyone else, am weighed down by this news, it’s a big pain,” Fontanka.ru quotes his colleague Dmitry Guberniev. — It’s a pity that we haven’t heard Utkin on the wide screen for the last few years. Of course I was worried about him.” But he was talented not only as a commentator. He will also be remembered for his role as gubernatorial candidate Igor Tsaplin in the play and film “Election Day.” They say he would be great as Carlson; he himself dreamed of acting in films. He was a gambler and once won a lot of money in a casino, which allowed him to buy his own apartment. After the farewell ceremony, Utkin’s body was loaded onto a hearse amid shouts of “Bravo” and “Vasya, Vasya!” The journalist will find his last refuge at the Nikolo-Trubetskoy cemetery in Balashikha. This is what his relatives decided. Vasily Utkin died on March 19 at the age of 52. The legendary commentator suffered a blood clot that blocked a pulmonary artery. And although he was urgently taken to the hospital, the drugs were powerless. Vasily had serious health problems due to his excessive weight – more than 200 kg. It was the extra pounds that he so dreamed of getting rid of that became the cause of complications on the cardiovascular system.
