Domestic cinema and stage have suffered a serious loss. The day before, at the age of 75, the legendary actress and singer Lyudmila Markovna Gurchenko died. Her death shocked everyone without exception. Indeed, even last month after the operation on her leg, the artist promised: “I survived. And this time I will survive!"

Since yesterday, fans of the actress have been carrying flowers to the entrance of the house in Trekhprudny lane in the center of Moscow, where Lyudmila Markovna lived.

The star felt unwell in the late afternoon. At 18:48 Sergei Senin, Gurchenko's husband, called an ambulance. The medical team was in a hurry with all their might. But the actress could not be saved.

“Death came instantly. For what reason, one can only guess. A blood clot may have come off. Perhaps fibrillation, abnormal heart rhythm. There are several signs of biological death, which occurs 15-20 minutes after cardiac arrest. And if these signs are present, it is already useless to reanimate the patient, Komsomolskaya Pravda quotes the doctors.

Today filmmakers are in mourning. “This is a great grief and a great irreparable loss,” said director Pyotr Todorovsky, who shot her in the film “Beloved Woman of Mechanic Gavrilov”. - A really big star has passed away, to whom all genres were subject. This is a miracle that is not often found in our art."

“There is not a single person in our country who does not love or admire Lyudmila Gurchenko. She was in fact a people's favorite - surprisingly beautiful, talented, witty, - admitted to RIA Novosti actor Alexander Kalyagin, who shot and played along with the actress in the film Prokhindiada-2, or Running on the spot. - For me, she was not only a partner in films, but also a person dear to me, whom I loved very much. We had a wonderful relationship."

Alexander Shirvindt compared Lyudmila Gurchenko to the Hollywood legend Elizabeth Taylor: “Everything valuable that was is leaving. Her life was difficult, but happy. Gurchenko died almost immediately after the death of Elizabeth Taylor, whom she idolized, and even their fates are somewhat similar. Some kind of mysticism."

Condolences to the family and friends of the actress were sent by the head of state and head of government, the mayor of Moscow.

A civil funeral service for Lyudmila Markovna Gurchenko will take place on Monday, April 4, at the Moscow House of Cinema. The funeral of the People's Artist will be held at the Novodevichy Cemetery.
