The host of the "Jury trial" program Valery Stepanov died from complications of COVID-19

His colleague Ruben Markarian told about the death of Stepanov on Instagram.

“The last words were yesterday. “I conquer the covid!” Do you understand? I am not “sick”, but “conquering”. We believe that we won, dear Valery Ivanovich. I just didn’t wake up in our world this morning”, - quotes the words of Markarian “Mediazona”*.

As the telegram channel "Baza" clarifies, Stepanov played the role of a judge in the "Jury trial" program.

“Even if you have not watched this program, you definitely saw Stepanov in pictures on the Internet - the meme“ fully justified ”is his photograph,” the message says.
