“Whom do I want to deceive?”: “Policeman from Rublyovka” actor Roman Popov refused oncology treatment in Israel 04.09.2023, 14:40

Popov kept his serious illness a secret for a long time, but now he talks openly about his journey. Roman was diagnosed with a tumor in 2018, doctors diagnosed with brain cancer.

The star needed urgent surgery because the situation was developing rapidly and the tumor could become inoperable.

Then Roman hastily chose a clinic. “America immediately fell away. First, it’s incredibly expensive. Second, the patient must be transported. I therefore chose between Russia, Germany and Israel. I went to Germany because my girlfriend’s boyfriend was operated on there and everything was on ointment, “said Popov.

The actor of the series “Policeman from Rublyovka” and “Mukhich’s detective office”, the comedy “The President’s Vacation” explained that the operation would be expensive in Israel, just like in Germany. “Who do I want to fool? Only we can be operated on from the mandatory health insurance,” assured the actor Konstantin Malasaev in the “Lace in the Glass” podcast.

The astrocytoma in Roman’s head grew rapidly. The tumor was only found in the third stage.

Popov recently acquired a townhouse in the suburbs. He bought the property in installments for 14 million rubles.
