On the 6th, Alexandr Matsegora, Russia's envoy to North Korea—known for having spent the most time in office compared to any other diplomat based in Pyongyang—passed away unexpectedly at the age of 70. His tenure as ambassador lasted 3,998 days, spanning from December 26, 2014, until December 6, 2025. A prominent individual, he received personal condolences from North Korean leader Kim Jong-un during the memorial service.
Nevertheless, both North Korea and Russia have displayed unclear responses to Matsegora's passing, prompting doubts. The Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs' formal declaration simply noted his "unexpected demise" without providing details regarding the reason, an atypical approach. According to accounts, he passed away soon after coming back to Moscow in November, yet neither Russia nor North Korea has verified if his death resulted from natural causes or otherwise.
Matsegora held considerable influence even throughout the Soviet period. He contributed greatly to mending tense ties between North Korea and Russia.
