Assistant to the President of Russia Vladislav Surkov asked not to pour how much for tears. He is alive and well. And I wished everyone concerned to stay healthy. Later, however, he said that not everyone wants health, but quickly took his words back.

In a conversation with the correspondent of the Russian Pioneer Surkov shared his state of health, which was so much interested in social network users after the photos appeared from the press conference following the talks between Vladimir Putin and Angela Merkel, where the politician who participates in the negotiations of the Norman Quartet looks significantly thinner And disheveled.

"Healthy, very healthy, which I wish everyone. Well, maybe not all. Although it's okay, everyone, God be with them, "Surkov commented on his state of health.

Internet users were so shocked with photographs of the presidential aide that they were ready to offer him their help. They suggested that Surkov dies of cancer. But from the help he disowned and said that he feels good for two reasons.

"First, impressed with the scope of the funeral procession. Conduct me in the last way gathered hundreds of thousands of users of Runet and Unite. I did not suspect that it is so popular. Pleasantly surprised. Secondly, I received a great aesthetic pleasure from reading the obituaries dedicated to me. What liveliness of the syllable! What an abyss of taste and simple-hearted people's humor! And how often the deep knowledge of medicine, politics, philosophy. Well, really, it's good, "Surkov.

At his "funeral," the presidential aide reacted with humor-he was flattered by such attention to his person-and noted that the main thing in public reaction is total indifference.

"Chekhov called for fear of the indifferent. And those who are not indifferent can only rejoice. More precisely, to make fun, "- advised Surkov buried his users social networks.

The politician did not warm up the already active interest in his health and told about the reason for such dramatic changes in appearance.

"How can you not enter twice into the same river, so it is impossible and twice to see one person. I have changed, of course, and this is normal. Walking all my life with the same expression is boring and unhygienic. How to wear, without removing, any pants, - said Surkov. - Change is inevitable. Including, changes for the better, which should be cultivated. It seems to me that I still have it ".

Changes in the appearance of the presidential aide were also commented on by the head of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov. Under the photograph in Instagram, which was posted by the secretary of the Union of Journalists of Russia, he wrote that Surkov is not sick, but is losing weight.

On his Facebook page, he wrote that he discussed with the politician the violent reaction of the Ukrainian media, to which Surkov, with his characteristic mockery, replied: Do not cry for me, Ukraine! ".

In support of his words, he laid out a few more photos of the politician from the very event - the President's aide looks much fresher on them. So Surkov's "illness" seems to be just a result of the unsuccessful foreshortening chosen by the photographer.

Due to the fact that users of social networks have attributed to Surkov a non-existent illness and a swift demise, the politician was not upset. And enthusiastically stated that he will be engaged in photography. But one, concrete: "not at all, but this, which made so much noise and reminded me of the transience of life, but at the same time, and the power of human empathy".

He asked what kind of apparatus the shot was taken, which made so much noise.

"Not on the X-ray?" - asked Surkov.
