Found at the source link and translated just using translate tool:
Yesterday I was talking to a good guy whose name was Konstantin Olmezov, a mathematician from Ukraine.
He left Donetsk because of the war of the "Ikhtamnets". He entered the postgraduate school of MIPT. He wrote his dissertation.
After the beginning of Putin's armed aggression against Ukraine, he tried to leave Russia, but could not. An administrative protocol was detained and fabricated against him.
As a result, he received 15 days.
Upon leaving the special detention center, O received an invitation to one of the universities in Austria to continue his studies there.
The problem was to leave the country in some way. He bought a ticket to Turkey.
We agreed that escorting him to the airport was meaningless. That he will try to pass the border control on his own and if there are problems, I will come.
We agreed to be in touch.
And I just received the news that in the morning he committed suicide, leaving a suicide note that he was passing away because he could not bear the horror of what was happening.
A talented promising mathematician.
Olmezov Konstantin.
Be damned you - those who started this war and those who are waging it.
You're not going to get away from the answer.
