Andre Singer, one of the directors of Meeting with Gorbachev movie, reported that former Soviet leader, 88-year-old Mikhail Gorbachev, was currently in hospital.

According to him, the politician wanted to attend a movie show at the Moscow International Film Festival, but felt bad. TASS agency reports that doctors forbade the former head of state to attend the event.
