Only today did the sad news reach us...

On May 15th, on Monday, Vladimir Assorgin, known in the Heroes community under the nickname Yama-Darma, and later on this forum as Wowa, passed away at the age of 54.

He was one of the most old-school players, who was among the first to contribute to the community, and even recently visited the forum and participated in the Heroes community.

On May 8th, he collapsed at home, suffered a stroke, was taken to the intensive care unit, remained in a coma, was kept on artificial respiration, consultations were held, but on Monday at 7:30 he passed away...

Only in 2010, after many years of communicating on the League of Heroes forum, did I finally have the opportunity to meet him in person and learn what a kind and responsive person he was!
We were extremely grateful to him for the fact that, despite not having many opportunities, while being busy with his children (and he had 8 of them!), he still found the time and hospitality to meet, accommodate, and feed 3 guests from Siberia! In my opinion, this says a lot about this Man!

On the appointed day, we arrived at the Yaroslavsky railway station. According to the forecasts, there were supposed to be as many as 3 delegations from all over Moscow... but it turned out that only Wowa, aka Yama-Darma, was able to break through the work, problems, and famous Moscow traffic jams, and meet the sun-weary team of Siberians! Moreover, he met us, finally took us to the shower cabin after 50 hours of continuous "slag removal" ;-)), fed us, gave us a drink, and put us to bed... well, everything was done according to the rules after a good sauna! For which we have deep respect and gratitude! He was a kind-hearted person! And under his endless stories about Heroes, you could fall asleep like under a fairy tale and have a sound sleep!!!

When we arrived in Moscow, Wowa met us. Special respect to him for this feat - he sheltered us and even acted as a tour guide! Thank you again. If I had a hat, I would take it off!

Wowa. A kindest person, rare to meet! He sheltered such a crowd... Respect!!!

Believe me, I had the honor of being acquainted with many Heroes fans, but I have never seen anyone so passionately devoted to the Game! He could talk about Heroes for hours, he remembered the most vivid games, which were already several years old, and retold all their nuances! And he told them with such enthusiasm and a sparkle in his eyes that I don't think I'll meet anyone like that again...

...It's a great pity, but Wowa is no longer with us. Old friends are starting to leave, even in our rather young Heroes community...
I will remember his human kindness and love for the Game.
And, of course, the joke about the number of children: "8 heroes = 8 children, I would have had more, but I'm sorry to let them go...
