Vadym Buryakovsky's Medical Emergency
In an interview with Dmytro Gordon, businessman Vadym Buryakovsky, the husband of singer Olya Polyakova, described a serious health crisis he experienced following a feast of rich food and alcohol. Buryakovsky, then 63, recounted consuming pork fat, heavy food, cherries, and vodka during a celebration. After the heavy meal, he fell ill, lost consciousness, and struck his head on a doorframe, an injury that left a scar.
Vadym Buryakovsky explained his reasoning for the indulgent meal:
"I hadn't eaten that kind of food in a long time—pork fat, heavy dishes, vodka. I wanted to relive my youth and I overdid it with the drinking. After that, I had a severe flare-up. I didn't even know." - Vadym Buryakovsky
He regained consciousness with his face covered in blood. Buryakovsky also mentioned eating cherries beforehand, which he believes worsened his condition:
"I ate them and after that I felt completely terrible, I had no strength." - Vadym Buryakovsky
Olya Polyakova's Decisive Action
His wife, Olya Polyakova, insisted on taking him to the hospital immediately. 'Olya said, "Forget sleeping, we're going to the hospital." We went and there I felt worse—they sent me straight to the operating table,' the businessman recalled. Doctors diagnosed a stomach ulcer, attributing the acute attack to the combination of fatty food, alcohol, and garlic.
Buryakovsky expressed his gratitude: 'The doctor said it all ended well. Olya says she saved my life. Well of course she saved it, she's my wife.' This incident highlights the serious health risks associated with excessive consumption of rich foods and alcohol, particularly for those with underlying conditions. Olya Polyakova is a major star in Ukraine, known for her pop music and television work, which adds public interest to this personal family story.
The couple acknowledged that the distance caused by Polyakova's touring schedule sometimes creates strain in their relationship. However, they emphasized that mutual support remains paramount during critical, life-threatening situations, underscoring the importance of health and partnership.
This recent health scare for Vadym Buryakovsky has drawn attention not only to the risks associated with overindulgence but also to the dynamics of his relationship with Olya Polyakova.
