Wwedenskoje-Friedhof
In 1948 Fomin's health deteriorated and he went to a clinic called Vysokiye Gory. Friends managed to procure for him some penicillin, a rarity in those days in the USSR, available only to members of the nomenklatura. The cure might have saved his life earlier, but now it was too late. Boris Ivanovich Fomin died on October 25, 1948. He was interred at the Vvedenskoye Cemetery.
