Composer Alexandra Pakhmutova Leaves hospital and Returns Home
Composer Alexandra Pakhmutova has been discharged from a Moscow hospital and is resting at home. This update came from Evgeny Malyshko, the director of the Pakhmutova Cultural Foundation, who spoke with kp.ru about the situation.
According to Malyshko, the singer could have been released earlier. The medical team chose to proceed cautiously and waited until Monday to ensure stability. Alexandra Nikolaevna is now back in her own residence. She was reportedly surprised by the attention her hospitalization drew. As the foundation director explained, the composer does not follow media reports closely and was unaware of the full scope of public discussion until it was explained to her. The information provided by Malyshko reflects a careful approach to her health and a return to normal life for the artist.
On the topic of the public interest, Malyshko noted that Pakhmutova seemed more startled by the focus on her injuries than by the music she created. He added that preparations for an upcoming anniversary concert are already underway. The plan includes performances in Volgograd and Moscow, where fans will have opportunities to celebrate her long and influential career in Soviet and Russian music.
Earlier reports from December 11 indicated that the 94-year-old People’s Artist of the USSR was hospitalized due to sore throat, cough, and high fever. Telegram channels initially suggested a coronavirus infection, while another report from the same network stated that the composer was being treated for pneumonia in one of Moscow’s clinics. As with many high profile figures, rumors circulated online before official channels provided a clearer picture of her condition and treatment.
In related notes, there were rumors involving Marat from the TV series The Boy’s Word that he might be hospitalized. This note appears to be an unrelated rumor circulating at the time and should be treated separately from the health updates concerning Pakhmutova. Sources close to the family have emphasized a cautious approach to communications about any public figures and have urged fans to rely on official statements for accurate information.
