A traffic accident almost to the day with the same tragic event, because of which Karachentsov had to leave the stage. 12 years ago, in 2005, returning from his dacha at night, he had an accident, received a severe head injury, and was in intensive care.

He had to learn to walk, talk, write again... The stage was out of the question. But the actor not only survived - he began to appear in public. One can only guess what it cost him. He himself prefers to remain silent about this.

And now, 12 years later, almost to the day, there was another accident. It's like mysticism. The accident occurred in the Moscow region, near Losiny Ostrov, where the actor has a dacha. More precisely, in the village of Zagoryansky, at the intersection of Pushkin and Tennisnaya streets. A Toyota Highlander, driven by, as it later turned out, Karachentsov’s wife, artist Lyudmila Porgina, and a Gazelle truck collided. The actor was in a foreign car in the passenger seat. His nurse and relative were in the car with him. Both women suffered bruises. But they did not require hospitalization.

The date of the accident coincided with the day of the tragedy 12 years ago

And Nikolai Petrovich ended up in the hospital. Doctors diagnosed him with a concussion, closed head injury and numerous other injuries.

Lyudmila Porgina admitted that she began to prepare for the saddest outcome - after the death of her mother, she acquired another place at the Danilovsky cemetery. However, then the woman realized that she did not want to lose another loved one.

“I lost the person closest to me. And also Kolya... Approaching one man’s coffin, I said: “No, he will continue to live. He will continue to live with me. We will see the birth of our granddaughter. We will walk through this life. The next morning I go to the intensive care unit, I rush to each corpse and understand that I have found myself in a world between heaven and earth... I approached Kolya and said: “So, I’m burying my mother, and you are waiting for me. And then we will fight together, and we will stand up, you have no other way!” – Lyudmila Andreevna recalled in the program “Andrey Malakhov. Live".

After Nikolai Karachentsov came to his senses, he wrote a message to his wife. The actor said that they urgently need to get married. The ceremony took place on the actors’ wedding anniversary – in August 2005. Only the closest couples were present.

After some time, Nikolai Petrovich again pleased fans with a rare appearance at the presentation of the disc “I Won’t Lie!”, recorded together with composer Elena Surzhikova, and even tried rare varieties of cigars.

“They showed his clip. It was a holiday. When they accuse me: “Why do you take a sick person to social events?” - I answer: “How can you close it within four walls?! Is it possible to take his life away?” - Porgina recalled.

Fans noticed that Karachentsov’s speech had not recovered. The actor could no longer react vividly to the events taking place. It became clear that Nikolai Petrovich was no longer able to continue his career. The film and theater star was forced to suspend his creative activity.

“Imagine, fighting for a person’s life for 12 years, getting drunk, sitting down and killing all four of them, and yourself too? And what is this for? I have a long day. In the morning, I filled the trunk with wine, vodka, champagne, whiskey to bring to the restaurant for the wake... Everything was broken, we don’t know how long we were lying there. The car turned over several times and lay on its side. The whole fur coat is covered in blood, vodka, wine, whiskey. We inhaled, we were all wet,” the woman shared with Andrei Malakhov.

According to Lyudmila Porgina, she cannot forget the events of February 2005. In one of the interviews, the woman spoke about mystical coincidences in the life of her husband.

“I always have on the eve of this day Bad mood, always shakes. I'm afraid of this day. But I thought that once we went to the cinema, I would somehow unwind. Nadya, a nurse, by the way, didn’t want to go, as if she felt something. And I was shaking like never before. I was shaking precisely from the thought that 12 years was a cycle. And now - again an accident and again a blow from the right. It’s good that he was wearing a seat belt,” said the wife of the famous actor.

Fight for life and death

In September 2017, Russian doctors discovered the actor had cancer. The malignant tumor in the left lung was impossible to remove surgically - Karachentsov did not survive the operation. A course of chemotherapy would also have undermined the artist’s already poor health.
