“I asked everyone”: before the death of Lydia Fedoseyeva-Shukshina passed the sacrament of confession

Lydia Nikolaevna was not in one of the capital's clinics. Last week, a ventilator was connected to her lungs. Next to the actress was constantly her youngest daughter Olga.

“Every time I leave the hospital, I keep my phone next to me to be in touch with the doctor,” Olga told MK.

“Olya is near me, so I do almost nothing around the house,” Lidia Nikolaevna shared in her last conversation with our publication. “I’m grateful for everything Ole,” said the actress about her daughter, who in recent years took care of her mother. Thanks to her daughter, Lydia Nikolaevna passed before her departure the church rites necessary for an Orthodox person. The priest, invited by Olga, conducted the sacrament of cathedral, confession and communion. But like everyone else, she wanted to live, and she talked about it lately. “I love my life and the present, and I do not want to part with it,” the actress recently dreamed.

- For a long time I look out the window, at our green yard on Bochkova Street, where I lived with my Vasenko (director Vasily Makarovich Shukshin, the husband of the actress). Mentally embrace the trees, admiring each bush, floating through the sky clouds. I apologized to everyone for a long time, I do not hold resentment against anyone. Love life as I love it and live with God. “Most of all, Lydia Nikolaevna wanted to live until spring,” Linnik, the actress’ lawyer, told MK.
