In a heartbreaking case that has stunned the Oviedo district of La Ería, the parents of twins Anastasia and Alexandra, Igor and Olga, mourn the sudden death of their father who died after jumping from a building window. He had just said goodbye to his daughters at the Los Arenales funeral home yesterday, a moment underscored by deep grief that has left the family and friends searching for meaning amid tragedy.
In line with the Orthodox rite, the father traveled to Oviedo to participate in the farewell. The service drew support from a notable church figure, Andrey Kordochkin, the Dean of the Cathedral of Santa María Magdalena in Madrid. The cathedral has long been a place where Ukrainians and Russians have prayed side by side, even amid the tensions of the ongoing conflict.
Friends and relatives close to Anastasia and Alexandra describe the family as utterly shattered by the loss. A relative shared that the parents are overwhelmed by grief, finding it difficult to speak after the initial shock. They cope in moments of quiet at home, only to break again when they try to talk with someone outside the family circle.
The farewell sparked a joint statement from citizens across Eastern Europe, including members of the Asturian community. The message is written in multiple languages, including Cyrillic scripts, Spanish, and Russian, reflecting the blend of nationalities in the area. One version depicts the twins as two little angels who have ascended to heaven, describing tearful sorrow and a wish to keep their memories close. A parallel message in Russian expresses the inexpressible nature of the loss, noting that tears will not console and sadness cannot be measured, and that the grief will not be relieved even while tears continue to flow.
Following the tragedy, the path toward normal life for the community will be slow and careful. Classmates had planned a study trip to Madrid that will now be postponed as they navigate the shock of this event. Police investigations will continue, with authorities examining the girls closest circle for clues. They will review notebooks, personal belongings, and devices to understand the full scope of what happened and to piece together contacts on social networks.
Farewell to the Eastern European Community in Asturias
Two small angels, Anastasia and Alexandra, have left for heaven, and their absence leaves a void that is deeply felt by many. The memory of these young lives remains in the hearts of those who knew them, and the community expresses solidarity with their family as they face the long road of grief ahead. The words of shared sorrow echo across languages, reminding neighbors that support and compassion cross borders and divisions.
Slzoya ne uthomensya, Omom ne pitat, Pechal ne izmerit, Skorb ne utnyat. The voices of the community translate this sentiment, underscoring the universal wish to comfort those who mourn and to stand with them in difficult times.
