Elena Kalinina, Bari Alibasov’s wife and assistant, told socialbites.ca that the producer was hospitalized due to high blood pressure. She stated that the producer did not want to go to the medical facility – he was “barely dragged” to the ambulance. Alibasov may be discharged soon.
“Everything is fine, we just acted cautiously because the weather conditions were, let’s say, unimportant, so we went to the hospital to observe. The pressure increased a little, it wasn’t as usual. He was conscious and I barely dragged him to the ambulance. He says I’m healthy, are you a reinsurer, an alarmist and everything else? This was a test for us. I took his things from him and at least he will lie down for another day and we will watch so that I can calm down. She says: take the laptop, then I will work here. I say I’m okay with anything, let the workaholic work,” she said.
According to him, the 76-year-old artist is currently in intensive care due to the possibility of escaping from the hospital. Elena noted that Alibasov could be discharged from the medical facility today.
“In intensive care, doctors do not avoid risks because the person is a celebrity. And there they will watch him every second so that he does not escape. It is still scary when a person’s blood pressure is 120 over 80 and then suddenly the blood pressure rises. I was just afraid of overdoing it on the treadmill. When he feels normal, sometimes he goes overboard. I think he came across me while I was running towards the market. I am coming [к нему], they will look at the readings. Maybe he’ll go home today because we won’t keep him any longer. I know all the tests in detail, everything is fine,” Kalinina concluded.
On February 25, Telegram channel 112 reported that Alibasov suffered a stroke in Moscow and was urgently hospitalized.
