The prominent Russian blogger and internet entrepreneur Anton Nossik has died from a heart attack aged 51.
Nossik was often described as the godfather of the Russian internet, co-founding and editing Russia's biggest online publications. News of his death has sent shockwaves through Russian social media.
He argued throughout his career that the internet has always been "an island of freedom" and would remain so despite efforts to curtail it. "It's simply impossible to believe," tweeted the opposition politician Ilya Yashin. "Rest in peace, my friend!"
