Artem Golubev and his story.
August 9, 2025 at 8:50 AM
Artyom Igorevich Golubev was born on February 11, 1995, and committed suicide by hanging on July 5, 2022. At the age of 28, Artyom Golubev was a good person who did many good deeds, helped his family in every possible way, and attended the same college as Dima Cherner, Sasha Gorbanov, Karayan Khachaturyan, Sasha Gigantov, and Kirill Seregenov, who were his best friends and formed the best company.
Then, in 2019, Dmitry Cherner invited Artem to join the game company "Crazy Gaming." Artem became a developer, and he literally put his heart and soul into the game. He could even sleep at work, but he was a fun-loving person, just like another developer named Uta. These two pranksters would arrive in a farting car or dressed as birds or bananas.
There were also constant playful arguments and pranks, especially on Karayan, the two of them constantly poking fun at each other, then Artem shouts: "Hach, where is my coffee?" Khachaturyan replies: "There's a coffee maker in the hallway, right next to the table. Press the magic button, and the coffee magic will appear, but you just need to get your ass off the chair." Artem laughs and says: "Hach, let me remind you that you're Ethiopian." Khachaturyan gives him the finger and says: "Artyom, go to hell," and Artyom said: "The pigeon is a bird of peace, but this pigeon is a little angry and can punch a little in the face. So go get my coffee, otherwise I'll call Big Sanya," sometimes Artyom shouts to Sasha Gigantov in the smoking room: "Sanya, give me a smoke, otherwise our black friend Hach doesn't want to share.",Karajan shouts to Artyom: "Artyom, when will the game results report be ready? I'm your boss after all. "And Artyom pretended to be a fool, shouting: "Boss, there's no light around, it's dark in here, it's obvious that you're too black! ". Khachaturian understood the joke and took a stick and said: "I'm going to stick this spear up your ass and sell it to my brothers in Africa, come here." Artem understood everything at once and immediately ran, but Khachaturyan threw a stick at him, but did not hit. Khachaturyan went to the closet and dressed up as a Papuan, raised a stick like a spear, and with a shout of "Alalalalala" chased after Artem around the company building.At that moment, Nastya Kovshova and Erika Vitolina, who were drinking coffee at the time, said at the same time, "Two morons, damn it," and laughed. Nastya said, "Two morons are powerful, they have no brains, but they are beautiful." Dneprenko and Saharnaya approached them and asked, "What's going on again, and most importantly, why are we not included? We also want to run like the Papus." Erika started laughing.
Nastya starts screaming into the air and says "Psycho ward" and goes to the rotary phone, and she dials a number and says "Hi, the psycho ward, please take me away, I'm a crazy girl." Uta's voice comes over the phone: "Okay, the paramedics are on their way." Five minutes later, a mini version of the farting car with the word "Psycho Ward" on it arrives, and Soul In Young, Ha Jung, and Alexander Gigantov run out, placing Nastya on a stretcher and getting into the car. The driver shouted "We're going," and Soul Young, who was sitting next to her, quickly understood, and she got on the pedals and shouted "Okay, Boss Uta," and started pedaling. The "Farting Mobile" departed with Ha Jung, who was sitting on the roof of the car, shouting "ViuViu, the mental hospital is coming, make way for the mental hospital." Erika is laughing, and Sakharnaya and Dneprenko are filming a Tik Tok about what's happening. Dima, Yura, Sasha, and Nikita are asking, "What happened? We only left the building for five minutes to go to Pyaterochka for food." Misha Moskovsky came down from his office and said, "What a terrible thing is happening here!" and he left in a hurry.
But the fun life comes to an end, and Polina Satnikova, Alexander Gorbanov's girlfriend, makes a mistake by introducing Artem to her friend Marina, unaware of the fatal consequences of this introduction. Marina begins to befriend Artem, playing on his emotions and causing him suffering. Marina's behavior becomes unpredictable, leading to several breakdowns. She even attempts to commit suicide by cutting her veins, blaming Artem for it. However, she is saved by medical professionals.
On July 5, 2022, the two of them had a fight. Artem is a man of his word, and he doesn't lie. He has repeatedly stated that he can't live without Marina, but she doesn't care. On Tuesday evening, they had another serious argument. Artem was at home, while Marina was at hers. Artem wrote that he was feeling bad without her and that he might lose his temper and do terrible things. Marina provoked him by saying, "You're a liar and a cheat. All you do is lie and shout that I'm this and that, but you're just lying." Artem's anger clouded his mind, and he didn't think about what he was doing. The only thing Golubev wanted was to prove that he wasn't a liar, and he decided to hang himself. Artem acted very impulsively; he didn't want his honor to be humiliated, and this played a crucial role in his life. Artem wanted to prove to that stupid Marina that he wasn't a liar, so he decided to do it.Before he carried out his plan, Golubev wrote to Marina and sent her a photo with the caption, "Are you satisfied now, Marina?" "Stop playing with my feelings!" a few minutes later, she replied, "I don't care about you, do whatever you want, I'm going to go car racing with the guys." The guy had lost the meaning of life, his heart was broken, and nothing could stop him. On Wednesday, he carried out his plan and hanged himself.During their lunch break, Erika Vitolina and Nastya Kovshova went to his house because he hadn't shown up for work and wasn't answering his phone. They decided to find out what had happened to him, but they had no idea what awaited them. The girls entered his apartment, as Nastya had the keys to all the company employees' apartments. They went to Artem's apartment and called out to him, but Erika entered the living room and screamed in fear when she saw Artem dead. They called all the company employees, and Karayan was the first to arrive, followed by Misha, Dima, both Sashas, and Yura. Dima, Sasha, and Yura carefully lifted Artem's body to prevent it from falling, while Misha cut the rope. The three men gently placed the lifeless body on the bed. Misha was in a state of confusion: as a religious person, he could not pray for Artem's soul, but as a friend, he felt obligated to do so.
After the guy's body was brought to Volgograd, his hometown, all of Artem's friends gathered in the yard of his house. The girls were crying, the guys were talking sadly and smoking, and they called an ambulance for Artem's sister several times. Sasha Gigantov came, and until the very end, he believed that this was a stupid joke and that Artem would come out alive and say, "This is a joke, bro." At that moment, Marina appeared, who behaved like a fool and pretended that she sincerely did not understand why Artyom hanged himself. Then Sasha Romanov ran up to the smoking guys and said, "Guys, that bitch Marina is here." Sasha Gorbanov looked around, saw her and shouted: "I'll kill her, I'll strangle her." Polina hugged the guy so that he wouldn't do anything, and with tears in her eyes she said: "Sasha, darling, please calm down. I beg you, don't take this sin upon your soul. You're going to kill her, and you have a good reason, but you'll be imprisoned as a murderer. Please, Sasha, don't do it. Gorbanov calmed down. Polina could hear his heavy, angry breathing, and his hands were already glowing with the spell "Sunburn," so she hugged him even tighter and begged him to clear his mind and calm down.Anya and Sasha did the same. Anya took Yura's hands and pressed her chest against his back, asking Yura to calm down, and the guy began to calm down and lit a cigarette, but his hand was clenched into a fist and was close to his spatial pocket. Anya understood this and carefully moved his hand away. However, Sasha was unable to calm down Dima, who was angry and wanted to use his fire magic to fry Marina until she was golden brown. Sasha struggled to hold Dima back. Sasha put her arms around Dima and she begged him to calm down. Unfortunately, when a Fire Elemental gets angry, it's like a volcano erupting, and Dima, the Fire Toad, is very angry. Dima's eyes were blue, and his hands were burning with anger. He almost burned Sasha's hand, and he grabbed it so tightly that she cried out in pain. However, she endured the pain. Dima realized that he had hurt Sasha, and he immediately calmed down. He quickly healed her wound.
Dima thought for a moment and said to Tatishchev, Romanov, Gorbanov, Satnikova, and Masha Romanova, who had come to the noise: "Yura, Sanya, Sasha, Polya, and Masha, let's go talk to a snake." Dima looked at Sasha, who was sitting on her knees and coughing. She had a cold and a fever. Dima said to Sasha: "Sasha, dear, let's go too, Anya, my daughter, let's help your mother walk, she's ill and hasn't slept for a day, crying over Artem's coffin." Anya helped Sasha get up, and Sasha replied, "Thank you, my daughter." Anya hugged her sadly and started crying. Dima helped them walk.The group approached Marina. They were very aggressive and angry. Polina was the first to run up to her, slap her on the cheek, start yelling at her and say that she will no longer communicate with her. She blocked Marina and hit her in the face with all her might. Marina fell. Sasha ran up to her and hit Marina in the stomach with all his might, but, alas, he was not allowed to finish this snake. Later, Marina left, and the group went out into the yard.
In the courtyard, everyone stood in silence, some sat, and others wept. Misha helped the priest hold a memorial service for Artyom, but the priest did not immediately agree. *Yesterday's events* Mikhail prayed and entered the church. He approached the priest, Sergei Zakharenko, and said, "I need to come to the deceased's house to perform the funeral service." The priest asked, "What is the deceased's name?" Mikhail replied, "You know him as Artem Golubev." The priest said, "Mikhail Yurievich, you know that according to church tradition, this is forbidden, as Artem was a suicide, and it is not appropriate to perform a funeral service for him." Father Sergei looked at Mikhail and said, "Unless Artem was mentally ill at the time of his death." Mikhail said, "No, he was healthy." Misha thought about it, and the priest asked, "What's troubling you, Mikhail?" Mikhail decided to say, "Father Sergius, Artem wasn't a suicide. He was killed by Marina, the devil's daughter, who destroyed and corrupted Artem's soul." Archpriest Sergey Zakharenko listened to Mikhail's explanation and agreed.Artem's mother was crying and shouting that she couldn't protect her son. The woman was crying, and then Vika, Artem's sister, who had just come to her senses after fainting and hysterics over her brother's death, came out. There were tears in the girl's eyes again. There was also another person who blamed herself, and that was Polina Satnikova, who was literally restless because of her idea of introducing Artem and Marina after everyone found out that Artem had died and who had caused his death.On July 6, Polina came to the bar crying and had a few drinks. Then she decided to go to Artem's parents and beg them on her knees to forgive her for making Artem meet Marina. In the evening, under a heavy rain, Polina stood on her knees in front of Artem's sister and mother, soaking wet and crying, begging for forgiveness.Irina Vladimirovna, Artyom's mother, said, "Polina, don't take it on your conscience, don't beat yourself up, it's not your fault." Polina, all wet, dirty, and slightly intoxicated, slowly stood up and, repeating "thank you," began to walk away, but Irina shouted, "Polina, stop, you're in a very bad state. Come back, you need to dry off." Polina shook her head and refused, saying, "Irina Vladimirovna, I'm fine, I won't get sick. I'll walk to the bus stop and go straight home."Oh, Polina felt bad and fainted from moral exhaustion. She was delirious until July 7. On July 8, the day of Artyom's funeral, Polina had a high fever, and the illness took its toll. Several times, an ambulance was called for her and Artyom's sister. Now, an ambulance was called again for Artyom's sister, Polina, and Sasha. The three girls needed assistance. Cherner and Gorbanov wanted to take the girls home, but Sasha and Polina refused and said they would stay here and rest after the funeral and memorial dinner.Dima stood next to Sasha, then sat down, put her head on his lap, and began to stroke her hair. Sasha pressed her body against Dima's, who was very warm.
Artem's coffin was loaded into a Gazelle, and it drove towards the cemetery, followed by eight cars. Artem's friends and family arrived later. The farewell to Artem began, and the girls were crying. His mother apologized to her deceased son, and Maria Romanova called an ambulance again, as Vika was feeling unwell. Dasha, one of Artem's friends, shared this information with the other friends. "Guys, why did you bring Vika with you? Why are you treating her this way?" She was told that Vika wanted to come to her brother's funeral. Later, Artyom's friends verbally humiliated Marina for being afraid to come to the cemetery.When Artyom's coffin was lowered into the grave, Dasha screamed: "Guys, hold Vika." Victoria ran to her brother's grave and tried to jump into it, but Polina grabbed her and held her in her arms. Victoria struggled and screamed that she wanted to be with her brother, that she wanted to jump into her brother's grave, but Polina wouldn't let her go. In the end, the two girls were taken to a car, where they lost consciousness due to emotional shock.Cherner Tatishchev Romanov Gortsev Uralov began to bury the coffin with Artyom, and people came one by one, throwing sand. Then Misha stuck a cross, and the men piled a mound. Sasha helped to lay wreaths, and the girl almost fell. She was also sick. Later, the group silently left the cemetery, and they had a memorial dinner. During the dinner, Dima and several of his friends drank vodka, and everyone remembered and talked about how kind Artyom was.
A week after the funeral in Moscow, Nastya, Erika, and Polina met Marina again and were surprised to see that she was pale and drunk. She bumped into Polina and looked at her with wide eyes, crying and repeating, "I'm sorry, it wasn't me. It was them. It wasn't me." Nastya, who managed to knock her out, said, "Congratulations, she's gone crazy and started using drugs." Nastya carefully reviewed her memories and said, "Well, a guy got her hooked on drugs, and I suggest we leave her here with an overdose. Maybe she'll die, or maybe that asshole will find her." The girls left, abandoning Marina.Marina's body was lying on the sidewalk, convulsing and writhing in pain from the drug overdose, her mouth was dripping with saliva and foam, and tears were streaming down her face, but she had a silly smile on her face. One of them said, "You silly fool, why did you run away? I'm going to turn you into a silly ice girl. Give me your hand, and I'll give you your favorite dose." The girl began to resist, but when the needle entered her hand, she stopped fighting. Marina's body turned even paler, and her eyes took on a warm, icy hue. The unknown person spoke. "After all, it's very easy to make an elemental out of a non-elemental." The unknown one spoke again "What do you think, my friend, when this foolish girl realizes that this is her salvation, she will make a good ice elemental, my friend Filatov, take her." Filatov replied: "Okay, Sven Khladlein, I am happy to help you, you are a valuable ally to me." The two men left laughing, taking the girl's body with them.
Note: Sven Kladlein is a mad scientist who believed that if an elemental was injected with a special substance called "Kladogen-400" intravenously, it could become an elemental in a matter of seconds. However, the product was too crude and unfinished, and it subjected the test subjects to terrible torment. It turned out that this substance acted on non-elementals like a drug, and some of the test subjects turned into walking dead people or mindless puppets who did whatever they were told to do. As a result, a special forces unit was sent against Sven to neutralize the madman, but he escaped and managed to take all his creations and projects with him. Later, he began working for Filatov.
