32-year-old man was found on the sidewalk, he was taken to hospital with serious injuries, from which he died a few days later, writes Voice of America.

The local police did not see any signs of a crime in the incident, however, the friends and colleagues of the journalist suspect that the fall might not have been accidental.

“This can only be linked to one thing - Maxim’s journalistic activities. He is a fairly well-known crime journalist in Yekaterinburg,” said Vyacheslav Bashkov, a friend of the deceased.

Bashkov said that Borodin called him on April 11 on 5 in the morning, fearing that he would be searched, writes МК.

“Maxim said that there was a man with a weapon on his balcony and that he saw people in camouflage and masks on the landing,” said a friend of the deceased.

However, after an hour and a half, the journalist called Bashkov back and declared that he was wrong.

“He apologized and said that he had made a mistake - there were supposedly some kind of exercises going on,” Bashkov added.

Borodin regularly covered high-profile corruption cases and crimes in Russia. In February, 2018, he wrote an article about Russian mercenaries who died in an armed clash with American forces in the Deir ez-Zor area in Syria.
