Where is Zyuganov being treated...

In response to Interfax's clarifying question about which medical institution the CPRF leader is in, Yushchenko said that Zyuganov, as a rule, is being treated at the Central Clinical Hospital in Moscow.

In turn, ex-State Duma deputy Vyacheslav Lysakov (United Russia) said that Zyuganov was hospitalized "in the same building of the Central Clinical Hospital where Vladimir Zhirinovsky lies."

“This information requires further confirmation, but according to my source, another leader of the faction, in this case, the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, Gennady Andreevich Zyuganov, was hospitalized at the Central Clinical Hospital. In the same building where V. Zhirinovsky lies.

According to Zyuganov himself, he was vaccinated three times. We wish all those who are sick to recover!” Lysakov wrote in his Telegram channel.

...and from what disease

In a conversation with Yushchenko, he evasively answered the question about the connection between Zyuganov's hospitalization and the coronavirus.

“Everything is connected with the coronavirus, all life is connected with the coronavirus, you work remotely, everything is now connected with the coronavirus,” he stated.

Yushchenko said that the information disseminated by Lysakov cannot be treated as reliable, but he did not begin to report in which department Zyuganov actually lies.

“Lysakov is not a deputy, he has no medical education and has nothing to do with the Central Clinical Hospital. Therefore, I do not know what he is guided by when he writes this. As for Zyuganov, he is undergoing planned prophylaxis on the recommendation of doctors, which was actually taking into account his medical indicators and surgical interventions that have been over the past three to four years, ”he explained.

Later, the grandson of the leader of the Communist Party, 33-year-old Leonid Zyuganov denied reports of his grandfather's hospitalization. He said that Gennady Andreevich "feels well and is not in a hospital room, but at work."

“Gennady Andreyevich is doing well. I've already answered a dozen calls. Yesterday we talked to him, he was very cheerful. Someone launched a "duck". Maybe they saw him at the doctor, he was with him today. Everything is fine with him, he was not hospitalized anywhere, he is at work. I would know, and there is no point in hiding. Everything is fine, ”the Zvezda TV channel reports his words.

The hospitalization of 75-year-old LDPR leader Vladimir Zhirinovsky due to infection with the “omicron” strain of the coronavirus became known on February 9. The Ministry of Health reported that Zhirinovsky was taken to the hospital on February 2. The chairman of the party concealed that he contracted COVID-19 for fear that information about this would cast doubt on the ranks of the supporters of vaccination.

According to the latest VTsIOM data, the rating of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation is estimated at 15.3%, the Liberal Democratic Party - at 8.2%. A direct question about trust in Zhirinovsky was answered positively by 28.1% of respondents, Zyuganov - by 24.5%.
