"In fact, I asked to bring me the phone from the car, and immediately gave all the orders, because everything was clear as soon as I woke up. Then a neighbor gave me painkillers," Prilepin wrote on his Telegram.
The writer thanked the governor of the Nizhny Novgorod region, Gleb Nikitin, for promptly sending the helicopter.
