On Friday, Galina Yurkova-Danielyan, wife of filmmaker Georgi Danielyan, told RIA Novosti that her husband’s condition is stable, but he can’t be checked out of the hospital now.

The filmmaker was hospitalized with pneumonia, and his condition was diagnosed as stable, yet grave.

“Yes, he is getting better, but I don’t want to talk about it so that I don’t get ahead of myself. He is in normal condition,” the filmmaker’s wife said.
