Not clear whether death was accidental Vladimir Saldo, the head of the occupation administration in Kherson, later confirmed in a video address that Mr Stremousov died in a traffic accident. It was not immediately clear whether the death was accidental. Ukrainian partisans have in the past attempted to assassinate collaborationist officials in occupied territory. Stremousov, a native of Donetsk region who moved to Kherson in 2007, was locally famous before the war for eccentric beliefs and promotion of conspiracy theories.

He claimed at the time he was demonstrating "gymnastics from ancient times."){kind=link}
