The last video with Vyacheslav Zaitsev, filmed three days before his death, was published on 05.01.2023, 07:05

The legendary designer felt bad. Zaitsev could hardly walk, leaning on a cane, accompanied by guards. The former presenter of the show Fashion Sentence did not communicate with anyone.

For a joint photo with Nikita Mikhalkov, his wife Tathana and other participants of the event, Vyacheslav Mihajlovic was brought out by his assistant. It was very difficult for the fashion designer to stand, so they took away his chair. Zaitsev sat down. Then there were shouts: “Bravo”, “We love you!” The video was posted by the SHOT Telegram channel.

The designer fell ill yesterday in his studio in the village of Kablukovo near Moscow. The star was taken to Shchelkovo city hospital with gastrointestinal bleeding. Along with the fashion designer, his assistant also arrived there. He tried to film Zaitsev performing a CT scan but was asked to leave. There were no other relatives around.

Doctors explained that the patient was brought to the clinic almost unconscious, he did not respond to external stimuli. The doctors did what they could, but time was running out. Vyacheslav Mihajlovic died at 6 p.m. He was 85 years old.

“Oleg, his assistant, was with him in the last minutes, he called an ambulance. We always communicated with him through Oleg, we were always in touch. On May 9, we had an event planned in Kablukovo, where Vyacheslav Zaitsev gathered all his friends, designers. Today, like a stock on the head, “Vadim Khusainov, one of Zaitsev’s close associates, told the Super Telegram channel.

Two years ago, Alla Pugacheva and her husband came to the main restaurant “Sovetsky”, where Vyacheslav Zaitsev celebrated his 83rd birthday. There was a scandal – the pop star was attacked by fans: they demanded to take a selfie with her, asked for autographs. She could not stand it – the singer quickly left the event.
