It happened about 22: 30–22: 40, when the journalist went out for a walk in the yard to gather thoughts while writing another material.
“When I saw a blade, I worked a reflex, which I was taught during my university, when I was engaged in the forbidden Karate section. I instinctively repelled this knife and illuminated this bold son in my head. That is, I do not know, maybe I hit, maybe no, but I have a bone.”
The attacker still affected the journalist with the second blow, hitting him with his stomach. Although, as Makarov jokes, he probably wanted to hammer his edge under the classic of Moscow’s blink folklore, but he was deflected by strength or determination.
The journalist noted that the attacker may have wanted to rob him, and when he failed, he escaped, or the version of the Russian trace in the attack was likely.
“I was already in the so -called” shooting list “together with Arkady Babchenko and Yevgeny Kiselyov. There were twenty people, and they were not jokes. Vitaliy Portnikov … In this case, this may be one of the expressions of such another special operation to reduce our fighting,” he suggested.
Unfortunately, the journalist did not remember the attacker’s face, because he says he has a bad memory on his face. This does not allow you to create a photo portrait now. However, according to Makarov, as a regular “drug addict”, which went out to take the Hop-stop for the next dose, the attacker had too steep knife, which he threw away during the escape and hit the hands of the police.
“If this is a really indirect manifestation of” brotherly love “because of the fits, then I just full of sense of self-importance. And I am glad that I, so to speak, won such recognition, “Makarov joked.
He was taken to the hospital with cut wounds of the anterior abdominal wall and arms in a serious condition due to blood loss. However, according to journalists, doctors make an optimistic prognosis for his rapid recovery.
Makarov himself hopes that on Monday, April 21, he can be discharged from the hospital home.
