Yegor Gaidar has been taken to a Moscow hospital after he suffered a sudden illness
Yegor Gaidar, a former acting prime minister of Russia, has been taken to a Moscow hospital after he suffered a sudden illness, Gaidar's daughter said Wednesday.
"At a conference in Dublin November 24, my father suffered sudden problems with health. He lost consciousness and stayed unconscious for three hours," Maria Gaidar said.
Gaidar said her father was treated at an intensive care unit in a Dublin hospital.
"There was a serious threat to his life. Doctors still cannot diagnose the cause of his illness," Gaidar said, adding that two days ago her father had been taken to a Moscow hospital.
Gaidar said her father was in a satisfactory condition.
Yegor Gaidar introduced "shock therapy" for the Russian economy under President Boris Yeltsin and is now the director of the Institute of Transitional Economy.
