Andrei Voznesensky Obituary
Voznesensky died at his home on Tuesday, said Gennady Ivanov, the secretary of Russia's Writers Union. He wouldn't give the cause of death, but some Russian media reports said that the poet had suffered a second stroke earlier this year.
Russian President Dmitry Medvedev sent a letter of condolences, and other top officials and cultural figures praised Voznesensky's contribution to the Russian culture.
Voznesensky was one of the so-called "children of the '60s," a generation of thinkers who tasted intellectual freedom during the post-Stalin thaw.
His innovative verse thrilled readers but irked authorities and was criticized by orthodox Soviet writers. Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev once threatened to exile him.
Like fellow poet Yevgeny Yevtushenko, Voznesensky's readings once filled stadiums, but his popularity flagged with the increasing freedom of the glasnost era in the late 1980s.
Voznesensky is survived by his wife, Zoya Boguslavskaya. Funeral arrangements were not immediately announced.

To the Family and Friends of Andrei Voznesensky,
So very sorry for the loss of such a talented person like Mrs.Voznesensky.
Mayn you all find comfort from this thought:Psalms 34:18-"God is near to those who are broken at heart..."
You can feel that Death can leave a heartache that nothing can heal, just know that Love can leave a memory that no one can steal.

I HAD TO GO AWAY
I had to go away.
I'm sorry you couldn't come with me.
But on earth is where you shall stay.
Please do not be sad.
Instead laugh and be glad.
I'm in a beautiful place, such a beautiful place.
I know you wont see me for a while.
But you will hear from me.
I will be the wind that will chill you on a hot summer day.
I will be the sun that will warm you when it's cold.
Listen to the birds sing, I will be saying, "I love you" in their song.
I know you can't touch me.
But you will feel me.
Because I will be inside of you giving you life on the days you feel like you can't go on anymore.
Please I beg of you, go on, live your life as I lived mine.
Always remember we will be together again.
I will be patiently waiting for you on that day.
When you will join me in this beautiful place.
Until then may God bless you with his almighty grace.

My thoughts and prayers are with the Voznesensky Family in their time of grief. At times like these, "God is near to those who are broken at heart;
And those crushed in spirit he saves." (Psalm 34:18) I hope this will bring the family a measure of comfort.
