Tamara Mikhailova, the director of the Maly Theater, spoke about the recent health developments of the theater’s art director Yuri Solomin. She described his condition as stable but unchanged for the worse during the latest update. Solomin remains hospitalized in the neurology department, where his condition is assessed as moderate. There has been no marked improvement reported at this time, and the situation has not shifted toward discharge or transfer to another facility.
The family and colleagues have been closely monitoring Solomin’s progress. On November 20, Solomin’s grandson offered a more hopeful perspective, noting some positive signs in the artist’s overall well being. He said doctors were considering moving Solomin from intensive care to a standard ward, indicating that the treatment plan was beginning to take a more favorable shape. According to the relative, Solomin has shown clearer speech and has regained some strength to acknowledge his relatives and theater colleagues. This development suggested a possible turning point in the ongoing care.
Despite these encouraging notes, the grandson emphasized that Solomin is not yet able to leave bed and that there has been no discussion of discharge. The medical team continues to provide round-the-clock care, aiming to stabilize respiration, maintain neurological function, and support the actor through rehabilitation as he works toward greater independence.
Solomin was admitted to medical care on November 6 after experiencing a stroke. He lost consciousness in the courtyard of his home, and his driver immediately called emergency services. Since then, medical staff have remained focused on monitoring vital signs, preventing complications, and guiding Solomin through the early stages of recovery. The period following a stroke often involves careful observation and gradual rehabilitation to restore speech, motor function, and daily living abilities.
In related updates from the theater and close acquaintances, there were brief discussions about eventual discharge plans, but those plans would depend on Solomin’s continued improvement and the medical assessment of his condition. The period of recovery is typically gradual, with a clear trajectory guided by neurologists, therapists, and the patient’s own resilience. The theater community continues to express support for Solomin and his family as they navigate this challenging time.
All parties acknowledge that the road to full recovery may be long and requires patience. The focus remains on safety, effective rehabilitation, and the overall welfare of Solomin as he receives treatment and participates in daily activities at a pace determined by his doctors. The collective hope is for steady progress and a return to the creative activities that Solomin has long contributed to the stage. Meanwhile, friends and colleagues extend their best wishes for strength and perseverance during this healing process.
