Death
On 7 September 2011, Tkachenko was killed in the 2011 Lokomotiv Yaroslavl plane crash, when a Yakovlev Yak-42 passenger aircraft carrying nearly his entire Lokomotiv team crashed just outside Yaroslavl, Russia. The team was traveling to Minsk to play their opening game of the season, with its coaching staff and prospects. Lokomotiv officials said, "Everyone from the main roster was on the plane plus four players from the youth team."[2][3][4]
Charity
Three weeks after Tkachenko's death, information appeared in the Internet that during the last four years of his life he had anonymously donated almost ten million rubles (over 300,000 US dollars) for the treatment of children suffering from serious diseases. He transferred 500 000 rubles on the day before his death.[5][6]
