Alexander Nickolaevich Bashlachev (Russian: Алекса́ндр Никола́евич Башлачёв (May 27, 1960 – February 17, 1988)
Shortly before his death, Bashlachev had difficulties with writer's block, rarely writing new songs and tending to avoid performing old ones. His last song, entitled "Cherry", was written in August 1987. Also, he had become more isolated as his depression and alcoholism grew more severe.
On February 17, 1988, Bashlachev died after falling from the window of the ninth floor of an apartment on Kuznetsova Avenue in Leningrad. The most likely cause of his death was suicide, however there is uncertainty in that claim.[why?] He was buried at the Kovalevskoye Cemetery in the Leningrad Oblast.
Bashlachev's son, Yegor, was born to his girlfriend a few months after his death.
