Rough translation from Novosti Kosmonavtiki by Jim Oberg: <BLOCKQUOTE>[i]The status of the health of legendary pilot-cosmonaut Aleksey Leonov sharply deteriorated after twenty-four hours in a regular room, and for doctors it was necessary to again transfer him into resuscitation. Specialists of the clinic, where with sharp heart insufficiency the 74-year-old Aleksey [Arkhipovich] lay, decided thus far to let no one see him. They even asked relatives not to disturb the head of family. Last Friday Aleksey [Arkhipovich] began to feel himself better. "He even himself rose from the bed. The doctors in attendance decided that the crisis had passed, and they transferred him into the department [general clinic?]", says the nurse of hospital, "and in several hours he again became more badly. Aleksey [Arkhipovich] sharply turned pale, he began to choke. Again it was necessary to transfer him into the resuscitation." The doctors in attendance asked the relatives of the famous cosmonaut to thus far limit the access of visitors to him, since any experiences are now undesirable for Aleksey [Arkhipovich]'s health. "He greatly is nervous, when someone comes to him, immediately rises pressure, and we decided thus far to let no one see him," continues the nurse. "Themselves you understand, the heart - this is not any joke." The state of the famous pilot-cosmonaut causes serious fear in doctors. Aleksey [Arkhipovich] needs an operation, but to perform it, the doctors thus far are not decided. Let us recall that several days ago the legendary pilot-cosmonaut was delivered into one of the elite clinics of the capital. In Aleksey [Arkhipovich] the doctors revealed serious problems with the heart. To save the life of the twice of Hero of the Soviet Union were brought in the best cardiologists of clinic.[/i]</BLOCKQUOTE>[/B][/QUOTE]
