Dmitry Lipskerov: Leonid will definitely die.

Dmitry Lipskerov is a writer and playwright with a boundless imagination and an impeccable sense of style. He is the author of over 25 prose works, including the novels "Forty Years of Changzhou" (shortlisted for the Russian Booker Prize and winner of the Literary Heritage Prize), "Relatives," "The Theory of the Boy Who Wet His Pants," "Demons in Paradise," "Gottlieb's Space," and the short story collection "Bullfinch Meat."
Leonid will certainly die. But before that, he will converse with his mother while still in the womb, ponder the universe, and stubbornly survive despite his initial reluctance to exist. Meanwhile, the 82-year-old woman—a full Cavalier of the Order of Glory and a Master of Sport in crossbow shooting—will seek eternal youth. And the very rich, powerful, and virtually immortal man will renounce eternity for the sake of his love.
And Leonid will definitely die, like many other characters in the novel, like everything in the Universe.
