Recently, information appeared on the Internet that, due to her worries, Natalya Drozhzhina had lost a lot of weight, weighing about 40 kilograms. According to her good friend, Natalya Drozhzhina suffered three strokes this year. She has difficulty speaking; After a stroke, she has speech problems. She eats almost nothing, she complains of dizziness and fatigue. Specialists tried to restore her speech and chewing function, but nothing worked.

“It’s true, Natalya Georgievna is very exhausted,” a close friend of Drozhzhina told us. “She had a stroke right in the courthouse, from where she was taken to the hospital. She is now at home, resting. Natalya Georgievna lost half of her previous weight. This was noticed when she left the hospital. Mikhail Semenovich (Tsivin, Drozhzhina’s husband) is in a remand center. He doesn’t feel well either.

The cause of his condition was not only age, but also severe stress. On May 26, the Moscow Zamoskvoretsky Court convicted Natalya Drozhzhina, 76-year-old Mikhail Tsivin and notary Dmitry Bubliy in the case of fraud with the property of the widow and daughter of People’s Artist of the USSR Alexei Batalov. Drozhzhina received a 4-year suspended sentence and her notary husband Bublius was jailed for 5 years. According to investigators, Drozhzhina and Tsivin gained the trust of Batalov’s widow and daughter, withdrew more than 20 million rubles from their accounts and transferred ownership of the Batalovs’ apartments in central Moscow.

True, Drozhzhina and Tsivin have a completely different opinion, they say, they helped the Batalovs from the bottom of their hearts. But instead of thanking them, they were slandered. They appealed against the decision of the Zamoskvoretsky court. They ask to move the hearing to St. Petersburg because, in their opinion, the Moscow court was biased in their favor. The case reached the Supreme Court.

The appeal against the Supreme Court judge’s decision is scheduled for December 21. The noisy process will continue in the new year.
