As Bogushevskaya told RT, Maksimova is still in a persistently serious condition and "she [was not taken out of a medical coma]."

Earlier, Maximova's confessor, Abbot Luka (Stepanov), abbot of the Pronsky monastery in the Ryazan region, said that "there are rumors in the press about Marina that she is unconscious."

He stated that "she has consciousness."

Maksimova was admitted to the hospital with pneumonia and a negative coronavirus test on June 15.

A few days later, the singer was connected to a ventilator and put into an artificial coma.

On June 27, the singer's official representative commented to RT on the rumors that appeared that the artist was transferred to extracorporeal membrane oxygenation.
