The actress's condition

People's Artist of the RSFSR Lidia Fedoseeva-Shukshina, who turned 88 on September 25, 2026, is in intensive care. According to Life.ru, she was hospitalized in Moscow on October 14, 2026 due to heart failure and complications of diabetes; the actress is breathing with the help of a ventilator. Earlier, in 2023, she suffered a stroke.

Palliative status and a family conflict

On November 2, 2026, the actress's granddaughter Anna, daughter of Maria Shukshina, spoke about her condition: according to her, Fedoseeva-Shukshina developed kidney failure, had to be placed in a medically induced coma, and doctors assigned her palliative status. 'These are consequences of diabetes. The treatment was not corrected in time,' Anna said, adding that 'her quality of life can no longer be improved.' According to her, the actress can barely recognize her loved ones. The granddaughter herself has not visited her grandmother, since access is possible only through Olga Shukshina, with whom she does not speak due to a long-standing dispute over an apartment. Previously, relations in the family were also strained by other property conflicts: in 2018–2021, Fedoseeva-Shukshina was married to Bari Alibasov, who, according to his testimony, received from her an apartment worth 10 million rubles in the settlement of Pervomayskoye; after Olga Shukshina's return, the actress challenged this in court and got the property back.
