Bolshoi acid victim leaves Moscow for Germany
Worldwide, Daily news | ankakh | February 4, 2013 16:16The Bolshoi Ballet’s artistic director Sergei Filin left a Moscow hospital to move to a German clinic for further treatment after he suffered serious eye damage in an acid attack.
Filin, wearing dark glasses and supported by his wife, left the hospital on Monday morning to fly to Germany, where he was set for his first medical examination later in the day.
“I feel good, I would even say excellent. If only my eyes saw a bit better,” Filin told journalists outside the hospital, describing his vision as “foggy and blurred.”
“I sometimes open my eyes but what I see is only just enough to be able to sense objects or to wash, that is the maximum,” he said in televised remarks.
The 42-year-old has already undergone five operations on his eyes since being rushed to hospital on January 17 after being splashed in the face with sulphuric acid in an attack that he has linked to his work at the theatre.
