Note that Leshchenko was not the first domestic celebrity to have a coronavirus detected: on the eve of March 27, writer Grigory Chkhartishvili, better known as Boris Akunin, announced the infection of COVID-19 on his Facebook.
“I abandoned Facebook because I’m wallowing with a fashionable disease,” he said. “I’ll get a little stronger - I’ll definitely share my impressions.”
The author also expressed the opinion that the fear of COVID-19 "is much worse than the coronavirus itself."
“You need to be careful, but there is no need to panic,” the 63-year-old writer concluded.
On the morning of March 27 newsru.com said that panic is beginning in Russian show business. On March 26, at night, at the City Clinical Hospital N40, in Kommunarka, where people infected with coronavirus undergo treatment, a 60-year-old singer and composer Igor Nikolaev was delivered. He was diagnosed with focal pneumonia, his condition is assessed as moderate. The artist has a high temperature.
Nikolaev passed a test for a new type of coronavirus and although the official results are not yet known, many representatives of Russian show business had suspicions that Nikolaev had become infected by singer Lev Leshchenko, who is also currently in Kommunarka and confirmed a positive result for coronavirus.
The wife of Nikolaev Yulia Proskuryakova published an appeal to the fans asking them not to disturb the singer and wait for the official test results.
According to "Komsomolskaya Pravda", Lev Leshchenko crossed paths with Nikolaev and a dozen other stars after he returned from an American tour, where he became infected. Leshchenko did not immediately go into self-isolation and on March 13 managed to attend the birthday party of the sister of the famous producer Alla Krutoy, where the whole color of show business was having fun. In addition to Leshchenko, Nikolai Baskov, Oleg Gazmanov and his wife, Vladimir Vinokur and his wife, Irina Allegrova, Alexander Rosenbaum, Alexander Buinov, Lera Kudryavtseva, Alsu, Valery Leontyev, Alexander Serov, Ani Lorak, Alexander Revva, Dimash Kudaibergen were present there ...
The guests celebrated, unaware of the impending consequences. But Baskov and Krutoy even joked about the coronavirus, showing how to greet your feet, writes KP. Now, after the hospitalization of two party participants at once, a panic began.
“There is a commotion in the show business crowd: everyone got infected from Leshchenko at the birthday party of Krutoy's sister,” said Ksenia Sobchak, whose mother, Senator Lyudmila Narusova, is also in Kommunarka. - So everyone who was there, alarm alarm! "
It is interesting that among those invited to this holiday was the presidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov and his wife Tatyana Navka ... All the guests actively shook hands, hugged and kissed.
In addition, after the holiday of Alla Krutoy, Leschenko infected with the coronavirus took part in a talk show by Andrey Malakhov. During the filming, the national artist sat at the same table with the presenter Andrei Malakhov, the poetess Larisa Rubalskaya, satirist Gennady Khazanov, television presenter Angelina Vovk and singer Arkady Ukupnik.

Then Leshchenko said that the panic around the coronavirus was being artificially whipped up by someone: “I just flew in from America and so far I don't know anything about the problems in show business. Nothing has affected me yet. Everything is calm in America. There is no hysteria about the coronavirus. All restaurants are full. At concerts I was sold out. No need to pump! Nobody needs panic. In general, I think that all this is done on purpose - fear is being built up. Who is involved in this - I cannot say, I am not a politician or a financier. But it seems to me that the situation was created artificially. And the best way to avoid serious consequences is to continue living the way we lived before all this. ”
The situation is complicated by the fact that most of the people who contacted the national artist Lev Leshchenko between March 11 (when he arrived from the USA) and March 24 (when he arrived in Kommunarka) enter or are close in age to the risk group - over 65 years old . True, the 74-year-old Rubalskaya has already passed the COVID-19 test, which turned out to be negative.
