Grigory Klinishov Obituary News: Russian Thermonuclear Bomb Creator Found dead Alongside Suicide Note in Moscow Apartment,age 92
This week, a nuclear physicist who contributed to the development of Russia’s first hydrogen bomb was discovered dead in a Moscow apartment; it was believed that he had committed suicide.
According to anonymous law enforcement officials quoted in Russian media, 92-year-old Grigory Klinishov committed suicide and left behind a suicide note in which he apologized to his family and said that he had been unable to deal with his health problems and the death of his wife.
If the scientist made any further claims in the claimed message was not immediately known. His passing came as fears of a nuclear disaster in Ukraine were rising. On Thursday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky accused Moscow of plotting to damage Europe’s largest nuclear power plant and release radiation.
According to reports, Klinishov’s 67-year-old daughter discovered him hanging in the apartment they shared. According to Kommersant, despite already concluding that his death was likely a suicide, investigators have opened a probe into it.
In addition to his work on the two-stage thermonuclear bomb known as RDS-37, Klinishov, who was born in 1930, invented several kinds of thermonuclear charges for future bombs.
RDS-37 was created in response to the United States testing its first hydrogen bomb, and it was tested for the first time in November 1955 at a testing facility in Kazakhstan. According to reports, the shock wave from the explosion tore across nearby communities, injuring dozens of people.
