“We met dozens of times, before his departure from Russia and at his residence in Cannes and in London too,” recalls the first president of Kalmykia Kirsan Ilyumzhinov.
- Recently, he constantly spoke on spiritual topics. He told me: “You have met with the Dalai Lama and Vanga. Can you tell me what will happen next? ”
-He believed a little in all these stories, but I understood: he won’t be follower of Orthodoxy or any other religion. He always distanced himself from any theory. Probably, he needed religion for some of his affairs. Incidentally, I do not believe that he committed suicide. He was a very jovial person. He was not the character, not the player who who commits suicide after failure.
