In January 2019, Oleg Ivanovich was treated in Germany by the famous German oncologist and professor Martin Schuler. But three weeks later he returned to Moscow, believing that therapy was not helping. In February, he returned to the theater and on April 10, 2009, he played his last play, The Marriage.
