“It began to press in the heart area”

On February 1, the famous Russian actor Boris Shcherbakov became ill at the rehearsal of the play. The son called the artist an ambulance. Doctors urgently hospitalized the star in the intensive care unit of the hospital. Botkin. Now he remains under the supervision of doctors in the general ward. About how Shcherbakov fell ill and what is happening to him now, the wife of the actor Tatyana Bronzova told us.

– Borya’s performance was canceled, they did not have time to replace it. The tickets were returned, – theater and film actress Tatyana Bronzova, the wife of Boris Shcherbakov, shares with MK. – He caught a cold in the country, where we rested with him. I treated him, he began to feel good and went to Moscow at night with the Sapsan to come to St. Petersburg early in the morning for a performance.

And suddenly, before the trip, he began to press in the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe heart. First he took the temperature. 37.3. He probably became nervous about how he would go to the performance, and this made him feel sick to his heart. In Moscow, his son Vasily was with him, who called an ambulance, and Boris Vasilyevich was taken to the intensive care unit, to cardiology. The very next day he was transferred to the hospital, where his immunity is being improved. He left early.

Why do you think it’s early?

– As the doctors said, at this age you can’t go out the way you did in your youth – “everything, I’m healthy and went.” It was necessary to stay at home for three days before the temperature returned to normal, to feel good. If not for the performance, he would also have stayed at home. But responsibility! He has a great responsibility to the public, people who are involved in the performance, work on stage, so as not to let anyone down. That’s what he wanted to go. And it didn’t work out.

– This is the first time in the life of Boris Vasilyevich?

– It’s the first time. He had a cold. We treated his cough and runny nose. The temperature was low, but quickly went away. And he was so pleased that he would not let you down and would play. Well, I went to Moscow. It was not necessary. I am also an artist and have worked in the theater for 30 years. We have always had a great responsibility, we even went on stage with a temperature in our youth, so I understand him very much.

– In what state is Boris Vasilyevich, do you communicate with your husband?

– We’re talking now. The day before yesterday, in intensive care, his phone was taken away. I was going crazy here, everyone called me, but I can’t do anything – I’m in the country. And only through my son yesterday I found out everything. Feels good, calls me back. He is under the supervision of doctors who put medical droppers with vitamins to boost immunity. He is no longer young.

At the hospital, he was immediately tested for coronavirus, pneumonia, and a new strain of influenza. None of this was revealed, just ARI. I caught a cold. Here he walks in the country, throws snow, it is cool in his large workshop.

– When will you go to checkout?

Even the doctors won’t say that now. And I’m not in a hurry at all. Now he has no performances, the week is free. Let it lie down already. But today I will go with my son to the city, and there I will contact the doctors, but Boris himself says that everything is fine.
