The artist was seriously injured after the fall.

Actor Vasily Stepanov has been chained to hospital bed. As a result of the fall, he broke his spine and is now undergoing treatment.

Doctors have not yet made any predictions as to how quickly the artist will recover. He broke his hip bone and two vertebrae. In the future he will have to learn to walk again. A friend of the actor told what happened to Vasily.

“The accident happened in mid-December. Vasya and his friends were returning home from the hypermarket; they were buying gifts for the New Year. It was very cold outside then, and all the slush was frozen. Near the entrance, Vasya slipped, fell on his back right on the steps and could no longer get up! Vasya is not at all discouraged. Plus, the hospital provides good food. Doctors have not yet given a forecast for when he will start walking again. But the rehabilitation course had already been approved - they asked me to buy a corset and crutches. Despite the pain, Vasya jokes: “But there is time to read scripts!” — said Stepanov’s friend Vladislav “

Eight years ago, a film adaptation of the novel by the Strugatsky brothers, directed by Fyodor Bondarchuk, was released. About the artist leading role Vasily Stepanov is being talked about as a new sex symbol of our cinema. But the actor’s career ended as abruptly as it began. And it seems that all the subsequent years all he does is pay for his bright takeoff...

After " Inhabited island“Vasily disappeared: he did not act in films, did not appear in public, did not communicate with journalists. The reason for this is his onset of depression. A couple of years ago he broke his silence and gave an interview in which he said that he had been unemployed for four years because good projects his name is not called, the fees have been spent, he broke up with his girlfriend, actress Daria Egorova, and moved in with his parents.

But last fall, photos from the film set appeared on Vasily’s Instagram. As it turned out, he is starring in Alexei Pimanov’s film “Tank Men” about the Great Patriotic War.

"I'm playing Soviet officer, the role is episodic, nothing heavy, no action,” Stepanov shared with Woman`s Day then. - They began to invite me to auditions after my parents and I appeared on television. Now I periodically go to castings. Naturally, I’m looking forward to new roles, but I’m not too eager to star in big projects. Now you need to get used to the profession. But I see myself only as an actor, I drama school I graduated, I have a diploma. There are no other changes yet, I haven’t had time to start a family, I live with my parents.”

And so new trouble: Vasily fell and suffered a fracture of the hip bone and two vertebrae, and now he will have to learn to walk again.

“The accident happened in mid-December,” the actor’s friend Vladislav told StarHit. - Vasya and his friends were returning home from the hypermarket; they were buying gifts for the New Year. It was very cold outside then, and all the slush was frozen. Near the entrance, Vasya slipped, fell on his back right on the steps and could no longer get up! The doctors arrived within 10 minutes. Well, at the hospital, after examination and x-rays, they made a diagnosis.”

The media immediately labeled the actor as disabled. However, Woman’s Day journalists managed to get through to Stepanov’s relatives.

“What kind of disability are we talking about? - surprised by the question brother Vasily Maxim Stepanov. - I can’t say for sure, I’m not a doctor, but the doctor himself doesn’t say much. But it's not that serious. Yes, there is damage to the spine, two vertebrae, but they do not affect its functional activity. And the basin. On at this stage they are going to put on a corset. Yesterday we talked about surgery, but apparently it is no longer needed. There was supposed to be an operation on Tuesday and the attending physician told us about it. But everything turned out to be possible without surgery. We’ll find out for sure only tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.”

Maxim also noted that Vasily has been in bed for more than 33 days. All this time, the family tried to keep what happened a secret.

“It’s hard for him to stay in the hospital for so long. There is no special mood. We try our best to make him have more fun. It seems positive. But he is in a bedridden state, the doctors do not allow him to walk,” the man notes. - Don’t worry, he has a good doctor, a candidate medical sciences. A lot of people call us and offer help, thank them very much! But for now we are coping on our own. Filming has been delayed and there is no prediction as to when he will start working again. We come and visit regularly. The bride is next to him, of course! He found a job, despite all these difficult periods... And then this..."

MOSCOW, April 13 – RIA Novosti. Actor Vasily Stepanov, who played the main role in the film “Inhabited Island,” fell from the window of a residential building in Moscow. Now the artist is at home.

What's happened

A source familiar with the situation told RIA Novosti that the incident occurred on Monday. According to him, the actor fell from a small height - from about the third floor.

“After the fall, he remained alive and refused hospitalization,” the agency’s interlocutor said.

As the source noted, Stepanov jumped down himself, but the motive for this action is not yet known.

The fact that happened in a house on Davydkovskaya Street was confirmed by the press service of the capital’s department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. They, however, refused to name the victim.

About the actor's condition

The film is an adaptation of the fantastic story by Arkady and Boris Strugatsky. According to the plot, Maxim Kammerer is a pilot of the Free Search Group, whose spaceship made an emergency landing on the planet Saraksh.

Both parts were leaders in the Russian box office and were among the highest-grossing films in Europe at the end of 2009. At the same time, given the large budget (more than $35 million), the film never paid off.

"Inhabited Island" received the Golden Eagle award for best cinematography (Maxim Osadchiy), best music(Yuri Poteenko) and best editing (Igor Litoninsky).

Yesterday it became known that the star of “Inhabited Island,” 31-year-old actor Vasily Stepanov, was taken to the hospital with numerous fractures and bruises after falling from the fifth floor. According to media reports, the actor himself jumped out of the window of his apartment in Moscow.

Ex-lover actor, actress Daria Egorova shared with Life.ru that she saw him in last time before the fall, when Vasily broke his spine: “The last time I saw him was a month ago, when he was in the hospital with a broken spine. And he was in a great mood. He didn't even lie down, but sat quietly. With such injuries it is impossible to sit. That's why I don't believe in all this anymore. His mother comes up with this so that they will be noticed again. I'm about to find out if he really jumped out of the window, but I doubt it. If this is true, then he did it out of weakness. If a person commits such a sin, it means he is weak and does not want to fight.”

Vasily’s younger brother Maxim Stepanov spoke about his condition to KP.ru journalists: “My brother has already been discharged. He was at home, although in a cast, and a local police officer came to see him. Fortunately, there is no re-fracture of the pelvis. He suffered a spinal injury in December, which he healed. The main thing is that Vasya is alive.”

Maxim also added that his brother had no reason to commit suicide: “I cannot find an explanation for what happened. He is strong, a real man. He can handle problems. The fractures will heal before the wedding. When I found out that my brother fell out of the window, I was afraid that he had broken his spine again. Thank God the spine is fine. Everything will go back to normal, Vasya will start career growth. You’ll see, he’ll get better, everything will be fine.”

Recently, Vasily himself commented on his action: “Nobody pushed me... Now I’m doing well, they put a plaster cast on me and sent me home... It’s a pity that I let people down, missed the deadlines - I’m scheduled to finish filming the film “Taxi Drivers” in May and April, and also filming in Natalia Verevkina’s project, where I was cast in the main role... It’s a pity that this accident interrupted the preparation for the roles.”

It turned out that the story did not end there - as MK.ru reports, after Stepanov was released home from the hospital, he began to complain of chest pain. The arriving ambulance crew noted inappropriate behavior Vasily was diagnosed with schizophrenia. Stepanov was hospitalized in a psychiatric hospital, where he will face long-term treatment if his relatives do not take him under their responsibility.

Let us recall that after the stunning success in the fantastic film by Fyodor Bondarchuk, Stepanov became perhaps the most popular artist countries. However, fame played with him cruel joke: the actor stopped getting roles.

The country learned about the handsome macho man in 2008 after the release of Fyodor Bondarchuk’s film “Inhabited Island.” Vasily played Maxim Kammerer so successfully in the film adaptation of the Strugatskys that everyone was sure that a new superstar of Russian cinema had been born. But Stepanov suddenly disappeared from sight for a long time. And when it became known how his life turned out after Bondarchuk’s high-profile project, fans simply refused to believe it. A heartbreaking report appeared in the press that the young actor had fallen into depression - not the kind when you’re just sad and everything is wrong, but when you can’t get out of bed for days.

For four years after the film's release, Vasily actually sat without work, trying to decide what he wanted to do next. The fees for filming “The Island” quickly melted away. Stepanov complained that all the interviews and photo sessions did not bring any benefit - there were no new proposals from directors. The family tried to persuade and reproach the actor to go to work, but at that time he did not have enough strength and self-confidence to go to castings again. He even went to the neurosis clinic on the advice of Vladimir Poglazov, who taught with him at the Shchukin School. But the atmosphere in the hospital turned out to be oppressive for young actor. In his personal life, he was also unlucky - Vasily broke up with his girlfriend, actress Daria Egorova.

One day the light finally dawned - Stepanov was offered to star in the series in the title role. But suddenly a blood clot breaks off. The actor was urgently hospitalized and saved. But he had to give up filming.

Vasily was not even hired as a salesman in a regular household appliances store, for fear that people would break into his door for autographs. Stepanov decided to give up his acting career and began to slowly earn extra money wherever he could. Relatives borrowed a huge amount - about half a million rubles - to pay for Vasily a good psychiatrist and expensive pills. To help them pay off their debt, he washed trolleybuses at night. But for a long time he did not admit this to his family - he simply said that he had found a job, they say, they pay, and it’s good.

And at the end of last year, Vasily began filming for the first time in many years. The actor took part in the historical project of Alexey Pimanov “Tankmen”. Stepanov was very inspired and shared cards from the filming on his Instagram. But then the curve of fate again led Stepanov in the wrong direction - he suffered a fracture of the spine.

Now the actor needs money for medicine and to pay for the services of a nurse. Relatives regularly visit Vasily, but they themselves are in cramped financial circumstances, because they still owe a debt for his treatment for depression.

For those who can help, we are publishing the card number of Vasily Stepanov’s mother: 4276380067820568 Sberbank Lyudmila Stepanova.
