Not Where Expected: Where and Why Anatoly Kashpirovsky Was Buried

Anatoly Kashpirovsky, who passed away on October 3 at the age of 87, was buried in a cemetery in the Ukrainian city of Vinnytsia. This was reported by the Telegram channel SHOT on October 13. The farewell ceremony for Kashpirovsky took place on October 8 in Moscow. Initially, the media reported that he would be buried at Troyekurovskoye Cemetery, but it later became known that the decision was made to transport the body to Ukraine. According to SHOT, the transportation occurred via transit through Turkey and Poland. Close relatives of the deceased arrived for the funeral in Vinnytsia. The choice of burial site was related to Kashpirovsky's family: his parents and daughter are buried in the Vinnytsia cemetery. ### Relatives Demand Explanation of Circumstances Surrounding Death Meanwhile, following the death of the telepsychotherapist, questions arose regarding his treatment. As SHOT claims, Kashpirovsky's son Sergey and a man identifying himself as his son, Alexey Fushtey, demanded that his widow Gulizar Chalbashova explain the circumstances of her husband's last months. According to the source, the men doubt the correctness of the chosen treatment methods and believe it is necessary to clarify what role medical assistance may have played in the deterioration of Kashpirovsky's condition. At the same time, no official conclusions regarding medical errors or violations have been provided. ### The Illness Progressed Rapidly According to media reports, Anatoly Kashpirovsky was diagnosed with a malignant tumor. His condition worsened over several months. Kashpirovsky gained widespread fame in the late 1980s due to television sessions during which he claimed the ability to psychologically influence viewers from a distance. These broadcasts attracted huge audiences and turned the psychotherapist into one of the most recognizable figures of the perestroika era. However, the methods he claimed to use were repeatedly criticized by representatives of the scientific and medical community. Despite this, Kashpirovsky retained many fans. Thus, the final journey of a man whose television sessions were once watched by millions of viewers ended not in Moscow, where an official farewell took place, but in Ukrainian Vinnytsia—next to the graves of his parents and daughter.
