Deputy from the Altai Territory Dmitry Grishin died in the Northern Military District zone in Ukraine, his colleague, deputy Larisa Kolesnikova, reported on VKontakte.

Grishin was known for his initiatives to improve healthcare in the Altai Territory, holding pickets near the Kremlin and criticizing the regional healthcare system.

He was elected as a deputy of the Novoaltai city assembly in September 2022 from the party “A Just Russia — For Truth”, and soon after that he volunteered for the war zone.

Grishin’s colleague wrote in his obituary that his “worthy life ended heroically.” Local journalists wrote that Grishin died several months ago, but there was no official confirmation.
