“Let Kostomarov be shredded, only if he lives!”: The skater’s girlfriend without an arm and a leg was horrified by calls to kill her 03/04/2023, 13:20

The 46-year-old skater is recovering after heavy operations at Kommunarka. Roman Kostomarov remains in the intensive care unit. The patient is regularly dressed. Tatiana Navka’s ex-partner says he is tired of hospital walls. He asks the doctor to let him go home.

Elena Volokhova spoke about Kostomarov’s condition. She was friends with him in her youth. Twelve years ago, the lawyer lost her leg and arm in an accident. However, she was able to overcome depression and return to an active life. Volokhov jumped, founded two foundations, raised two children. The 45-year-old Russian now works with amputees and restores their psyche. She told how she met Kostomarov.

“Romka and I were friends in our youth in the company of figure skaters,” explained Elena. – Then somehow everyone broke up, I got married, the children left. When I first learned about the tragedy, I wanted to go to Kommunarka to see him, but my friends discouraged me, saying that they wouldn’t let anyone into the intensive care unit. They reassured me, they say he has money, is in a good place, under reliable supervision. And of course I’m worried because I know how hard it is to go through it mentally.

The lawyer said the euthanasia law should only be used in critical cases – when doctors decide medicine is powerless. In this case, it is necessary to obtain the consent of relatives.

“But to accept him against the background of the tragedy of Roman – “Now let’s kill him. Why are they suffering?” “It’s all nonsense, you can’t talk like that,” said Volochova. “I don’t really see the horror in amputation.” The main thing is that the body can survive and survive. People live with both strokes and heart attacks. While the brain and the internal organs work, while the body is fighting, living! And you can’t argue like this “that they shred him”. I read the comments and I’m scared! People! What are you writing? Yes, let him be chopped to pieces, if only he lived. Everything else is the power of the spirit . Roman has it and he has a lot of friends. And with the whole world we will help him get on his feet, on prostheses. It’s not a problem that he survived the amputations, the problem is – will Roman survive, will his body be able to work so that he can live?

After a car accident, Elena spent three months in the intensive care unit. According to the lawyer, she was in great pain because her hand was rotting. Volokhova noted that they managed to cut off her limb in time. There was only one day left – if the doctors had not called a council and decided to amputate her, she would have contracted the blood.

“Thoughts of leaving life have never crossed my mind. At the time of the accident, I had two small children, 7 and 8 years old. It was hard, painful and scary. Of course I cried. It was scary to look at each other. From a tall, beautiful, long-haired girl on stilettos at the age of 33, it is not clear what to turn into – into such a half with a shaved head, without an arm and without a leg. And then I didn’t have time to think that something was wrong. I pulled myself out of depression enough to now help others. Confused people come to me in wheelchairs, without legs, without arms and do not understand how to continue living. I go to hospitals myself. People are already pleased with it, “said MK Volokhova.

Oksana Domnina helps Kostomarov fight for his life. The Olympic champion’s wife supports him. Figure skater sends her husband messages from close friends. Roman started answering them last week.
