In the Modern Theater, officials publicly addressed the circulating rumors about the hospitalization of the actor Roman Madyanov, known for his roles in Soldiers and Leviathan. The theater’s press service clarified the situation, noting that the news outlet NEWS.ru had reported on the matter from its own coverage of cultural events.
The company explained that Madyanov had recently appeared on stage in the production Don Juan’s Beloved Woman, sharing the stage with Vladimir Vinogradov. In line with the cast’s rotation, Vinogradov stepped into the current performance, while Madyanov remained part of the show’s broader creative plan. The theater emphasized that there was no cancellation of performances featuring Madyanov, nor any removal of the actor from the season’s roster.
According to the theater’s communication, Madyanov will not be appearing in the theater in the near future. The organization described him as busy with other projects and filming commitments, which influenced the scheduling for the autumn period. The statement conveyed assurance that there were no urgent concerns about the company’s overall operations and that productions would proceed as planned whenever possible.
Reports on August 28 suggested that the actor had been hospitalized with coxarthrosis, a condition that can threaten mobility if not treated promptly. It was claimed that he underwent partial joint replacement surgery and was in the process of recovery at that time. The theater’s representatives did not confirm these specifics in the same terms, leaving room for ambiguity about the medical details and the actor’s current status.
Subsequently, Svetlana, Madyanov’s manager, issued a clarification to counter the rumors circulating in various media outlets, asserting that the reports about the illness were not accurate. The manager stressed that there was no verified evidence supporting the hospitalization claim and urged the public to await official updates from reliable sources. The theater, for its part, maintained a cautious stance, reiterating the importance of relying on confirmed information while continuing to support the actor through official channels.
