London-based Russian TV chef Alexei Zimin found dead in Belgrade Tributes have been paid to a London-based Russian chef, television presenter and writer after he was found dead in Belgrade. Alexei Zimin, 52, died in the Serbian capital after travelling there to promote a book, Anglomania, in which he gave an immigrant’s take on Britain’s cultural history. The father of three had been a critic of Russian president Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Crimea in 2014 and had spent his final years in the UK, where he was the cofounder of Zima, a restaurant in London bearing his name. Authorities in Serbia said there were “no suspicious circumstances” related to his death and that a postmortem and toxicology report were ongoing, the BBC reported. Zimin had enjoyed success in his native country as the face of a cookery show on the NTV channel, which was axed after he posted anti-war messages on social media following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.
