“Today, Dmitry Muratov, the head of Novaya Gazeta and a team of doctors from the Burdenko Hospital, flies to Ufa,” wrote Venediktov in his Telegram channel.

According to him, Moscow doctors will help Ufa colleagues to develop a further treatment plan for Bykov.

Earlier, the chief resuscitator and anesthesiologist of the Russian Ministry of Health, Igor Molchanov, said that the writer had been put into a state of drug sleep.

On April 17, Bykov was taken to a hospital in Ufa with a suspicion of a stroke on the eve of his planned concert.

Dmitriy Bykov's friend, Chief Editor of the Interlocutor, Yuri Pilipenko, in an interview with Channel Five, spoke about the state of the writer.
