The famous actor began studying with a speech therapist.
Nikolai Karachentsov is now in a St. Petersburg clinic. At the Human Brain Institute, they are trying to restore the 63-year-old actor’s speech function. Nikolai’s wife, Lyudmila Porgina, is in the hospital with Karachentsov. She does not leave her husband’s side for a minute; she has her own room in the clinic.
“Now we are walking along the corridor, we are going to go outside,” Lyudmila told “Interlocutor” in a cheerful voice. “There was no operation; the doctors put in a drip to stimulate the activity of the blood vessels in the brain. We are working with a speech therapist, but they won’t discharge us until the end of the week. Oh, Kolenka, be careful, don’t fall... (Lyudmila supported the actor’s hand during our conversation.) You have to be there all the time, but changes for the better are already noticeable. We will go home to Moscow and continue to work with a speech therapist in the capital. Nikolai feels well. We really hope for the new technique of St. Petersburg doctors.
Doctors believe that Karachentsov can be returned to a full life. The new technique is based on the effect of electric current on the human brain.
