Oleg Tinkov, founder and shareholder of “Tinkoff Bank”, had surgery for a bone marrow transplant. About the entrepreneur said on his page in Instagram.

– Get a bunch of calls/emails with questions, I went yesterday to bone marrow transplantation? I’m good, today was in the corridor of 2 km, but I understand that there are still many weeks and months of difficult rehabilitation, the main front – wrote 52-year-old businessman.

He noted that in spite of numerous stereotypes, bone marrow transplantation does not imply any sawing of the skull or the cutting of the spine. “It’s just a blood transfusion,” – said Tinkov. And encouraged followers to donate bone marrow, just passing blood from a vein.

– In Russia, 130 thousand, and in Germany, 7 million donors, we should be ashamed! – wrote the entrepreneur.

Recall that in early April, the businessman resigned as head of the Bank. Currently, the organization manages its long-term partner – Oliver Hughes, who holds the position of Chairman of the Board. Earlier it was reported that Oleg Tinkov had coronavirus and continues to be treated from leukemia.
