MOSCOW (Sputnik) - Renowned Russian filmmaker Gleb Panfilov died at the age of 89, the director of Moscow’s Lenkom Theater told Sputnik.
"A tragedy has happened. Gleb Anatolyevich Panfilov has passed," Mark Varshaver said.
Panfilov was hospitalized with a stroke in May, nearly four months after the passing of his wife of 50 years, Inna Churikova.
Varshaver told Sputnik in spring that the filmmaker developed pneumonia. His condition in August was described as satisfactory, although he complained of feeling unwell.
