Neither worse nor better

Andrei Sychev's first night in the Moscow Burdenko Hospital passed without any emergencies. “Adaptation is within normal limits for his condition, which is still serious but stable,” Major General Vyacheslav Klyuzhev, the head of the clinic, said on Wednesday. A whole series of examinations is scheduled for today, based on the results of which doctors will decide on the course of treatment. Next to Sychev is his mother, who, in order to legitimize her continuous stay at the clinic, had to apply for a temporary job there.
