What is known about the funeral of Pasha Tekhnik
“They saw Pasha off in zinc, identification was completed,” Yarovny wrote on April 8. He also showed a video from Technik’s last performance, which took place on March 16 at the Aurora club.
On the morning of April 9, the plane with Pasha Tekhnik’s body landed at the Moscow airport. Pasha’s ex-wife Eva Karitskaya wrote that the transportation cost about half a million rubles. The zinc coffin was taken to the capital’s morgue. The rapper will be buried at the Nikolo-Arkhangelskoye Cemetery . Yarovny promised to show all receipts for expenses. Karitskaya wrote that she gave an interview to journalist Ksenia Sobchak for a place in the cemetery for the rapper. According to preliminary data, 2 million rubles will be spent on the funeral.
“The noble ones listened, and we will bury him in his favorite brands, because everyone knew that he was bright,” wrote the director of Technika.

How Pasha Technician Almost Died Several Times
Pavel Ivlev (real name Tekhnika. — NEWS.ru) was born in Moscow on July 1, 1984, in the Lefortovo district. He himself called it criminal. At the age of 11, Pavel began sniffing glue, at 12 — drinking and smoking, very soon he switched to illegal substances. In the podcast “The History of Recovery” on the YouTube channel of psychiatrist-narcologist Igor Lazarev, he spoke in detail about the formation of drug addiction.
“We drank a bottle of beer between the three of us, it was bitter, didn’t like it. In the eighth grade, a Tatar offered us some grass. I realized that was my thing,” the rapper said.
Pasha developed cardiac arrhythmia early. In the same podcast, Technician told how he ended up in intensive care because of drugs and ended up in an artificial coma. This was in 2022.
“I understand that there is a tube in me because I couldn’t breathe, but air somehow gets into me. And there was also fear that I couldn’t move – I thought I was paralyzed. They opened and closed my eyes – they were checking, maybe. I was in a coma for 11 hours. They put me in an artificial one, the body fought itself with the drug that I used. I was lucky, the doctors said that 70% of the time I should have died,” the rapper said.
According to him, he spent the night in intensive care, they “cleaned him out” with IVs, but he began to have visual hallucinations. “I thought I was dead and traveling. In the morning, the doctor came, I said: “I can’t, discharge me.” They said to me: “What’s wrong with you? You need at least a week, you almost died,” said Technician.
Biologist and friend of Pasha Tekhnik Pavel Glazkov said that he met him five years ago and saw the changes that were happening to the rapper.
“They [prohibited substances] change the psyche, the personality. But at the same time, you know, this inner world, it remains. You know, he is like this,” Glazkov told NEWS.ru.

The blogger added that Ivlev had “cosmic” health, but he “burned it up.” According to Glazkov, he also had a motivation to live – he found a wife who gave birth to his child. As the interlocutor added, life repeatedly gave the rapper a chance to “tie up” with drugs.
“He fell into a coma, doctors pulled him out. There was this hope after the coma that he would slow down, stop really seriously. He seemed to realize it, but something prevented him from holding on. Perhaps something internal there,” Glazkov believes.
What doctors say about Technika
Psychiatrist and narcologist Vasily Shurov told NEWS.ru that Technik’s case is indeed exceptional in some sense, drug addicts usually die before the age of 40. That is why Shurov called Pasha a phoenix.
“There were several periods in prison. He spent five years in prison and did not use, then he spent another year in prison for drunk driving and also did not use. Then he had several rehabilitations (when he went to rehab. — NEWS.ru ). He accumulated a certain period of cleanliness, because due to circumstances he could not use, and then he returned to it,” Shurov said.
According to the doctor, Tekhnik is a bad example, because now other drug addicts believe that they can use drugs and live long, although this is not true. He suggested that the rapper’s entire circle also uses drugs. For example, according to Shurov, Tekhnik’s former lover, trash blogger Yulia Finesse, is currently in a special institution in Armenia: she had a broken spine after jumping out of a window while in an altered state.
How Pasha Technician Predicted His Death
A video is gaining views on the Internet in which Technician “predicts” the date of his coma. In January 2025, he was a guest on “The Big Show” (18+) with Azamat Musagaliev.
“Everything will be cool! Believe me. On the 27th, but I won’t say the month,” Technician said.

In April 2024, the rapper took part in the show “Farewell, Legend”. According to the script, he lay down in a coffin, and while he was there, they joked about him. At the end of the show, he got out in a black suit and gave a speech. The technician said that last year alone, he died four times.
The rapper’s friend, showman Stas Baretsky, told NEWS.ru that jokes about death were not something exceptional for Technician, he allowed himself to do them quite often. On March 21, Pasha took part in the Easy Basket event . Among the invitees were media personalities, including showman Baretsky and actor Nikita Dzhigurda.
“He jokingly said that I was flying away to another planet, and you fulfill my mission to the end. Pasha Tekhnik loved me,” Baretsky said.
Psychic Darya Mironova believes that Pasha Tekhnik really foresaw his death. “A person who is in a state of altered consciousness is always between two worlds. Moreover, he is a creative person, such people are initially prophets. He saw his death, knew that he would have a transition on the 27th, and treated it as a way of rebirth,” Mironova believes .
She noted that the recent incident when Pavel jokingly laid down in a coffin could not have any relation to his death, it did not affect the events and fate of the rapper in any way. “Many of his predictions in his work will still come true,” the esotericist added.
Prophetic Songs of Pasha Technique about Death
Technician often hinted at a possible imminent death in his own tracks. “The end is approaching, and I so certainly missed those few guys with whom I burned from the beginning,” – the song “Rehab”.
“In car number 666, I’m already crossing the line” – song by “Demons”.
“Dear friends, I would like to apologize to you for my sins, so please forgive me” – song “Forgive”.

Why Pasha Tekhnik is considered a legend
The director of Pasha Tekhnik called him a “legend” on his Telegram channel. His entourage now emphasizes: Ivlev is not an ordinary, not a run-of-the-mill person, he is an outstanding musician who will remain in history.
Music critic Ivan Shults writes that Ivlev was “one of the main driving forces.” According to him, already on the second album of the Kunteynir group, created by Pasha in 2003, Tekhnik “proved himself an interesting lyricist and an outstanding beatmaker.”
The critic emphasizes that over the past years, Tekhnik “has not wasted time and has managed to work with almost the majority of Russian rap artists, including: Guf, Rynochnye Otnosheniya, RZhB, Vacio, Gone.Fludd, Scally Milano, The Chemodan, Slava KPSS, Alkogol Posle Sportu, LSP, Buchenwald Flava, EkhoprokurennykhPodezdov, i61, Metox, THRILL PILL and MORGENSHTERN (included in the list of foreign agents by the Russian Ministry of Justice).”
“Russian rap has lost its most charismatic legend, but the culture as a whole has gained its first national hero since the passing of Eduard Limonov,” writes Schulz.
Music critic Artur Gasparyan expressed his opinion more succinctly in one post. “And this is not yet the final peak of the bottom. I am convinced. St. Petersburg rapper Booker (who is that?) began the total dictation (!!!) with a minute of silence for Pasha Tekhnik (and who is that?),” Gasparyan wrote .
Members of the Kunteynir group, in which Ivlev previously performed, announced that they would release a song in honor of Tekhnik.
