The sudden death of famous Russian actress Yevgeniya Dobrovolskaya has deeply saddened everyone. Just two weeks after celebrating her 60th birthday, it was revealed that she had been secretly battling cancer for a long time. Despite her illness, she chose not to share it publicly and believed in her recovery until the very end. She explained her significant weight loss as a result of healthy eating.
Yevgeniya had four children. While her sons are grown up, her youngest child, 15-year-old Anastasia, is seriously ill and requires constant care.
Anastasia was born from Yevgeniya’s third marriage to cinematographer Dmitry Manannikov. At the age of 7, Anastasia was diagnosed with Peters disease, a rare condition that causes chronic pain and makes walking impossible.
Yevgeniya did everything she could to give her daughter a normal life. However, after her death, it is unclear who will take care of the child.
According to the Mash Telegram channel, the actress likely passed away due to acute heart failure caused by cancer complications. The exact cause of death will be confirmed after a medical examination.
In her final two months, Yevgeniya stayed in a hospice, where she passed away surrounded by her loved ones. Her death is a great loss for both the film industry and her many fans.
