The drug used for the protocol was Propofol, but shortly after the anesthetic was admitted, he lost consciousness and went into cardiac arrest. Despite the medical team’s efforts to resuscitate him, he died before the ambulance arrived; he was 55 years old. His wake was held at the Mariinsky Theatre on June 8, which was attended by many of his family members, friends and colleagues, followed by his funeral; he was buried in the Serafimovskoe Cemetery.

The year 2002 was the time that Vikharev made a second effort to recreate the Petipa ballets when the stage was set for La Bayadere for the Mariinsky Theatre where he reconstructed the long-lost fourth act, which saw the destruction of the Temple. The production was however met with the same criticism by the Mariinsky company that they given to Vikharev’s reconstruction of The Sleeping Beauty and as the result, around 75 percent from the Soviet choreographic sequences were omitted for the notated parts.
