In memory of the satirist Mikhail Zadornov. Photo gallery. Mikhail Zadornov died, health status in recent days, cancer, latest news Mikhail Zadornov died

On November 10, 2017, the wonderful writer and unique satirist Mikhail Zadornov left us. In 2016, the playwright announced to the media the news that he was sick cancer, although Mikhail himself knew about the illness long before that. He was strong man, so he didn’t say anything to anyone or complain, for this reason the brain cancer progressed and metastases formed. Only in 2016 did he go for examination to Germany, where he was given an accurate diagnosis and soon underwent surgery.

After the operation, doctors said that the chances of recovery were slim, but he continued to fight and underwent chemotherapy. Over the past year, he has been actively undergoing treatment and communicating with fans, occasionally performing and giving interviews.

Mikhail Zadornov last concert 2016-2017:

Zadornov spent most of the last year of his life at his dacha in Jurmola and sometimes flew to Germany to see the dynamics of treatment, which did not bode well. But fans believed in the best outcome and constantly supported him on the Internet and in life.

As the satirist’s relatives say, in recent months Mikhail came to terms with his approaching death and simply spent time with loved ones and enjoyed the nature of his native land.

Zadornov’s last big performances took place back in 2016:

Despite the fact that most of the audience went to his concerts to laugh, the playwright himself notes that this was of secondary importance to him. It was important for Zadornov to communicate with his viewers, to understand why they live and what they believe.

Mikhail died in his home early in the morning on November 10, he was 69 years old. It is known that just a couple of days before his death, Zadornov managed to convert to Orthodoxy, although all his life he recognized only paganism.

Mikhail Zadornov was, on the one hand, a rather tough person, but on the other, kind and cheerful, as the satirist’s relatives themselves admit. Several generations have grown up listening to his work, and in Russia it is quite difficult to find a person who has not heard the name Zadornov and his jokes about Americans. He left behind only vivid memories that will be kept in the souls of each of us for a long time. Bright memory!

Moldovans studied in Riga. How many Russians went on vacation to the Caucasus and the Baltic states.

In the mid-2000s, Zadornov began writing satirical stories about the USA and Americans. His phrase became a meme: “Well, you’re stupid!” Later, the program “American Stupidity” appeared, dedicated to America. In it, the satirist discussed the influence of the United States on the culture and psychology of Russians, and ridiculed the thoughtless copying of the American way of life.

On March 11, 2014, he signed an appeal from cultural figures in support of Putin’s policies in Ukraine and Crimea. IN last years his programs were increasingly devoted to events in Ukraine, for which the satirist was blacklisted and banned from entering this country. “It would be worse if I were banned from leaving this country,”

11 days have passed since the death of the satirical writer Mikhail Zadornov. Let us remind you that not everyone was able to say goodbye to him - the family held a chamber ceremony “for loved ones” in the Moscow region, and not everyone could go to the funeral service in Latvia, where the artist wished to rest in peace.

ON THIS TOPIC

Relatives claim that Zadornov treated his popularity with irony, and therefore did not want to make a social event out of his farewell. But, probably, the matter is different: during the fight against a brain tumor, the writer lost a lot of weight, and the family did not want Mikhail Nikolaevich to be seen like this. Indeed, judging by the photographs that appeared in Express Newspaper, it was difficult to recognize the satirist in the body lying in the coffin.

They often say about cancer patients: “The cancer ate him.” And in the case of Zadornov, you are horrified at how an incurable disease disfigures a person. Sunken cheeks, a pointed nose, an elongated face - in the coffin, the 69-year-old artist looked like a 90-year-old withered old man.

During his last public appearance in October 2016, Mikhail Nikolaevich already looked unwell - he had lost a lot of weight, it was noticeable that his hands were shaking a little, and sometimes he dropped pieces of paper with prepared jokes. The comedian had to bend down and pick them up - and every time the audience applauded encouragingly. “Now I know how to earn success,” the artist laughed at himself.

Just two years ago, with a height of 176 centimeters, he weighed 74 kilograms. But in the last months of his illness, as his relatives say, he lost 20 kilograms, and his appearance was terrifying. “With cancer, a person begins to lose a lot of weight, about 11-16% per month,” said website oncologist. – The fact is that the development of oncological formation makes the body work faster, that is, it accelerates metabolism, which is responsible for the rate of conversion of food into energy. Chemicals called cytokines affect how normal cells function. High levels of cytokines caused by cancer interfere with the metabolism between fats and proteins. This leads to loss muscle mass, and also affects the central center of the brain that controls hunger."
