Since the beginning of June, the name of Bari Karimovich Alibasov, a famous showman and producer of the Na-na group, has not left the pages of news publications. The reason for the unprecedented interest lies in the tragic incident associated with the poisoning of a 72-year-old man with a pipe-cleaning fluid. However, when fears about Alibasov's life were left behind, the story received an unexpected continuation. At the moment, many suspicious inaccuracies make doctors and experts doubt the veracity of what happened. Now the producer is suspected of staging the poisoning for the purpose of PR.
Hospitalization
According to the version that Alibasov and his family adhere to, on June 4, the producer of Na-na accidentally drank the Mole pipe cleaner, mistaking a bright bottle with a dangerous liquid for drinking yogurt. As it turned out, Bari Karimovich was let down by the lack of glasses at hand.
An unpleasant incident occurred when he was in his own recording studio, located in the same building as the celebrity's apartment. Feeling unwell, Alibasov called an ambulance and headed for the exit from the studio. However, he lost consciousness literally on the doorstep, where his son and the doctors who came to help found him.
The producer was diagnosed with severe burns to the esophagus, stomach and respiratory tract. He was immediately taken to the intensive care unit of the Sklifosovsky Research Institute. For several days, the life of Bari Karimovich was under threat. Doctors did everything possible to exclude the possibility of internal bleeding. In the media, conflicting information appeared about Alibasov's preparation for the operation. In the end, the body of the 72-year-old patient was decided to rest by placing him in a state of drug-induced sleep.
Coma
Someone from his inner circle was constantly on duty next to the victim - his wife Lydia Fedoseyev-Shukshina, son of Bari Alibasov Jr., artists of the Na-na group, personal PR director Vadim Gorzhankin. While the producer was in a coma, his family was thinking about litigation with the manufacturers of the Mole product.
Bari Karimovich regained consciousness on June 11 after four days of drug-induced sleep. His condition remained consistently serious, although doctors managed to cope with the most serious consequences of the burns received. In addition, upon awakening, the producer suffered from memory loss. He did not remember his name, did not recognize close people and was confused about dates.
Discharge and rehabilitation
Independent experts predicted a severe disability for the victim. Versions about the life of Alibasov with an artificial esophagus were sounded. Meanwhile, the producer's heir was talking about plans for the rehabilitation of his father abroad. And as soon as the basic indicators of his health stabilized, the son took Bari Karimovich from the hospital.
The producer stayed in a hospital for about two weeks. According to Alibasov Jr., his father was invited to Kazakhstan for further rehabilitation, promising to pay all expenses, including a personal helicopter and a separate chalet in the mountains. Since the producer of "Na-na" was born in this country, the family decided to give preference to local medicine, although it is inferior in quality to European health care. But the strength of his native land and the universal respect that Bari Karimovich enjoys in Kazakhstan should have helped him in an early recovery.
True or Staged?
Scandal with a doctor
The protagonist of this story did not stay on the sidelines for long. Barely leaving the hospital walls, Alibasov appeared on the air of Andrei Malakhov's program on the Russia 1 channel. He told the details of the tragic incident and shared his impressions of the experienced state of an artificial coma.
The journalists who were on duty at the producer's apartment soon witnessed his conflict with Dr. Mariyat Mukhina, who introduced herself as Bari Karimovich's attending physician. The woman claimed that relatives forbade her patient to leave the house, did not give him the necessary medicines and did not follow the prescribed diet. However, in response, Alibasov called the police, accusing Mukhina of deception.
Later it turned out that the doctor had nothing to do with the Sklifosovsky Research Institute, and she met the producer "Na-na" many years ago as a personal nutritionist. Out of old friendship, she wanted to visit Bari Karimovich, who was in trouble. However, once in his apartment, she came into conflict with the showman's personal assistants, having caught them in non-compliance with medical recommendations.
Independent expert statements
Observing the behavior of Alibasov, who was allegedly on the verge of life and death, a number of independent doctors discovered many oddities and inconsistencies in the history of poisoning. Firstly, after several weeks of a rigid diet, the victim did not look much thinner or emaciated. Secondly, a severe burn of the esophagus did not deprive him of the ability to speak, although such patients very often have problems with their voice due to the effects of chemicals on the ligaments.
Thirdly, rumors about the fourth degree of burn of the esophagus, received by Bari Karimovich, turned out to be very doubtful. According to an independent gastroenterologist, in the event of such serious consequences, patients undergo surgery to remove the affected organ, and they eat through a tube in the intestines. Another specialist working as an anesthesiologist commented on the producer's memory loss. He called such consequences of a medical coma very doubtful.
And finally, the fact of Alibasov's short stay in the hospital spoke in favor of the version of the staged poisoning. Given the specifics of his injuries, the victims, as a rule, are under medical supervision for a much longer time.
Denouement or continuation of the scandal?
Although the producer's entourage actively denied rumors about the staging, the personal PR director of Bari Karimovich on June 27 made an unexpected revelation in an interview with Vechernaya Moskva. Vadim Gorzhankin called the poisoning story an elaborate show. Given the shocking nature of Alibasov himself, it turned out to be quite easy to bring this scenario to life.
According to Gorzhankin, the main goal of the participants in the grandiose deception was to attract attention and maintain popularity. Indeed, even earlier, many noted that the tragic incident coincided with the 30th anniversary of the Na-na group and the beginning of the group's jubilee tour. And now, in the wake of the scandalous history, artists can count on good attendance at their concerts. Whereas Bari Karimovich himself makes good money on invitations to rating talk shows and distribution of interviews.
The PR director of the producer is still satisfied with the outcome of this shocking show. Moreover, he is sure that the poisoned series is still far from the final. So, it is worth waiting for new trials, loud statements, scandals and riddles.
