The physicist who committed suicide for years pursued his former beloved 
43-year-old scientist who committed suicide on Sparrow Hills in Moscow Nikitin pursued his former lover for a long time, and before committing suicide he put the barrel to the girl's head several times. The details of the last years of the man's life on Wednesday, December 1, were revealed by MK.
According to the publication, the couple met in 2016 – the girl was a student at the university where Nikitin taught. After four years of relationship, they began to live together. But when the scientist's mother died, he had a nervous breakdown – he was twice hospitalized and prescribed a course of antidepressants.
After that, the man began to regularly show aggression and arrange scenes of jealousy, one of which ended in a scandal and the girl's broken smartphone. After parting, Nikitin literally followed on the heels of his beloved, but the girl avoided meetings in every possible way and even blocked the scientist in all messengers and social networks.
On November 30, he watched her in a forest park area on the way to the Vorobyovy Gory metro station, taking carbine “Saiga”. The man again confessed his love to her and offered to live in the place, threatening to kill her if she refused. For persuasiveness, he put the barrel to her head four times. After another refusal, the scientist committed suicide.
The Investigative Committee of Russia began an investigation into the incident.
