Medical personnel in Irkutsk received assistance from newly recruited individuals in a battle against an unspecified adversary.
In the city of Irkutsk, a shocking incident unfolded last week as medics Olga Alexandrovna Asaulenko and Irina Nikolaevna Marochkina were brutally attacked by a regular patient at a local polyclinic. The latest update on their condition is that they are no longer in immediate danger, according to the governor of the Irkutsk region, Igor Kobzev[1].
The attacker, identified as 59-year-old Alexei Blinnikov, was arrested yesterday in relation to the attempted murder of a doctor and a polyclinic secretary. The attack occurred on July 3 at a polyclinic on Baumana Street in the Leninsky District[1].
According to reports, Blinnikov first sprayed gas in the women's faces before stabbing them in the head, neck, and chest area. The attack came without any prior signs of aggression, and two conscripts nearby intervened and helped subdue the attacker[1].
Blinnikov, who has a history of threatening hospital staff, had previously been hospitalized against his will, requiring a special response team[1]. He accused the women of violating his right to treatment, but no specific health or legal status update has been provided for Blinnikov in the available information[1].
The victims, Asaulenko and Marochkina, received immediate medical assistance and were saved in time. The governor of Irkutsk region, Igor Kobzev, shared the latest update on their condition on his Telegram channel[1].
Currently, Blinnikov is under psychiatric care, but the details of his current status are not clear. The focus remains on the recovery of the medics, who continue to receive support and well-wishes from the community.
