Alexey Alexandrovich Yakimovich died shortly after the October Revolution ; the turmoil that followed him has not yet made it possible to determine precisely the place and time of his death. A number of sources name the date 1919 [1] , but it should be considered approximate due to the lack of more authoritative documents.
