In connection with this, Vasily Livanov was urgently hospitalized in Moscow.
RIA Novosti journalists learned about the incident from employees of the Sklifosovsky Research Institute.
It is noted that rumors that Vasily Livanov was experiencing heart problems appeared back in late September.
Some media outlets and Telegram channels claimed that the actor was in a medical facility with a suspected stroke, but there was no confirmation of this information.
Livanov has now been taken to intensive care, located in the neurology department. According to doctors, the patient's condition is assessed as serious.
Other details about the star patient, known to the general public for a number of iconic roles in films, are not specified.
Let us recall that Vasily Livanov was born in 1935. At the moment, the elderly actor is already 89 years old.
