On October 26, it became known that a popular theater and film actor Nikolai Karachentsov, who had serious health problems, had died in a Moscow hospital. He was 73 years old, before his birthday and 74th birthday, he did not live one day. On the eve of Karachentsov's friends planned to come to his hospital and wish him a happy birthday and even ordered balloons and a cake for this, writes “Country“. Karachentsov was admitted to intensive care in early October with pneumonia. According to the actor's wife, he had high temperature and pressure, he was breathing heavily. All this time, Lyudmila Porgina was next to her husband - a separate bed was put in the ward for her, writes KP.
The body was worn out due to an accident and oncology.
28 February 2005 Karachentsov got into a car accident, which resulted in a severe head injury. The artist was in a hurry to give to Moscow, excited by the news about the deathbed state of the mother-in-law. In the rush, Karachentsov did not fasten his seat belt and exceeded the speed, and on the street at that time there was ice. On the same night, the actor underwent craniotomy and brain surgery. Karachentsov spent 26 days in a coma. For all this time, Karachentsov’s speech has not been so fully restored. The actor was treated in Israel and Beijing.
On February 27, 2017, Karachentsov again got into an accident. The car driven by his wife collided with the Gazelle. The blow was so strong that the car rolled over. Karachentsov received a concussion.
In September 2017, the actor was diagnosed with an inoperable cancer in the left lung. To all this, in October 2018, inflammation of the lungs was added, which is why the actor got into resuscitation.
“If Kolya had only oncology without disability of the first group and loss of part of the brain, without inserted metal collarbones and broken ribs, it would be much easier for doctors. And since Kolya was badly injured in that terrible car accident 13 years ago, it is not easy for doctors to put him on his feet. The body is worn out, and then new sores have added. But Koka is great - he does not give up. He rejoices every day, asks to read Pushkin to him, it cheers him up, ”said the actor's wife in early October.
According to Lyudmila, in the hospital Nikolai Petrovich was very bored without his pets - a parrot, a cat and a dog.
Karachentsov could die at the end of 70's
Lyudmila Porgina told that before that terrible accident in 2005, Karachentsov was already between life and death. Nikolai Petrovich and his wife almost died in the late 70-s. And also in the winter.
Then Karachentsov was offered the role of a director who makes a film about skiers. This picture (“A moment of good luck”, 1977) based on the script of Yuri Vizbor was filmed on Cheget (Elbrus region). Nikolai Petrovich went to the shooting with his wife.
“One day Kolya was not filming, and we went with him to a cafe on Mount Cheget by funicular. And the funicular suddenly stopped. A terrible blizzard began. Snow began to cover us ... with lumps of snow the size of a fist! We realized that we were freezing, - recalls Lyudmila Porgina. - I don’t remember how we were filmed from there. I woke up from the fact that a bright light beat in my eyes and heard some voices. I see: Kolya and I are lying in the room completely naked and we are being rubbed with vodka and cognac. Yura Vizbor stands above us, opens each mouth with a knife and pours brandy into it ... Then we, pounded with vodka and brandy, were put into warm bags. Yura said: “The main thing for you now is not to fall asleep! So that you do not sleep, I will sing songs to you. And he sang.
Vizbor pulled us out of the afterlife. It turns out that he made the rescuers go: he shouted that people were freezing, they must be rescued urgently. They answered him: "What do you mean, now such a terrible landslide can begin!" But Yura made them go and save us anyway! ”
