Karachentsov's condition deteriorating rapidly

It was recently revealed that actor Nikolai Karachentsov has lung cancer. He underwent radiation therapy in Israel, but the treatment proved ineffective. The family decided to continue his therapy in Russia.

Following a course of chemotherapy, the tumour shrank. The family was overjoyed by this result. However, their joy was premature. After a brief improvement, the artist's condition deteriorated sharply.

Karachentsov is currently in a clinic. He has been diagnosed with pneumonia, which doctors have been unable to bring under control for over a month. The actor's condition is gradually worsening. He is struggling to breathe. Medical staff have decided to administer oxygen.

Doctors are reluctant to make any predictions regarding the star's recovery.
