Tatyana Karpova(1916-2018)

The last years of her life were a road to Calvary. Doctors had put to it the terrible diagnosis - a squamous cell carcinoma of a skin. (Skin cancer). The entire body of the actress was covered with sores that bleed and did not heal. The disease could not be stopped. Doctors sounded the alarm: an urgent operation was needed, but she was afraid to "lie down under the knife." The film legend was at that time 100 years old, and she was sure that her heart simply would not survive the surgical intervention.
