Jovan Savović, the architect behind the Dirty-ru blogging platform and invitation-only site Lepra, has died at 43

Jovan Savović, the creator of the Leprosorium group blogging platform and the invitation-only site Dirty, has passed away at the age of 43. Friends and colleagues announced his death on the Dirty.ru platform. According to an acquaintance, the cause of death was a heart attack, which apparently overwhelmed Savović's "young heart."

Born in Yugoslavia, Savović relocated to Russia in 1991. He established Dirty.ru in 2001, and later, in 2004, launched Leprosorium, which functioned as an exclusive group blog accessible only through an invitation.
