The television revelation from Yuri Shibanov, known as the lead figure in the series Soldiers, came on the program hosted by Andrei Malakhov. He shared that his teeth were lost as a result of periodontal disease and that the lower jaw remains a focus of his current dental work.
Shibanov explained that, at one point, doctors diagnosed him with schizophrenia, but the assessment was later revised to bipolar personality disorder. He described how during psychosis his perception of reality and the people around him could become markedly distorted. Today he is addressing the consequences of that period by tackling issues related to the dental damage and the associated treatment challenges.
In his account, he said he had taken out a loan to cover dental care while he felt overwhelmed by psychotic symptoms. He used a card to withdraw the money before the onset of the pandemic. Although there was an intention to reconstruct the upper or lower jaw with a prosthetic device, the plan did not proceed as hoped. The total debt he carries amounts to 2.9 million rubles, a figure he continues to address with a sense of urgency and responsibility.
Presently, Shibanov works with two producers who assist in meeting his financial obligations by generating income from other ventures related to waste processing. He has expressed a clear desire to return to the film industry once his health situation stabilizes and the financial matters surrounding his dental treatment reach a more secure footing. His statements reflect a broader narrative about the intersection of mental health, medical expenses, and the pressures faced by public figures in managing personal health while pursuing ongoing artistic work.
Earlier reports discussed Olga Buzova’s remarks regarding a controversial incident in a bar in Novosibirsk, which has added to the media interest surrounding Kologrivy and his public life. These conversations contribute to a larger discussion about how personal health issues and public scrutiny intersect in the careers of television personalities in contemporary culture, particularly within the Russian entertainment landscape.
