They lived together, they left together. Grichka and Igor Bogdanoff died of Covid-19, just six days apart. The first died on December 28, the second on January 3. In a coma, Igor Bogdanoff never knew that his brother Grichka had left before him. They were seventy-two years old. They will be buried on Wednesday January 12, in the Gers, in the South of France.

“I still have a heavy heart“, declared Julien Lepers, very moved, adding that it had been “terrible to see these two coffins, the whole family and a mad world in Madeleine”. “When we got to know them as well as you and I did – we did a lot of shows together – the least we could do was get there and think of them.” The presenter of Questions for a champion continued : “I regret, during their lifetime, not having told them enough that we loved them. ” A little later in the show, he returned to the ceremony at the Madeleine: “I was on the verge of tears earlier”, he confided. “It’s very, very hard when you’ve gotten to know them well. And then they leave together, six days apart, it’s incredible…”
