Blood donations are being canvassed for Rim Rakhimov, a soloist in the Bashkir State Opera and Ballet Theatre, who suffered a near-fatal attack at five in the morning on Saturday in Ufa.

Rakhimov is 27. He’s in a medically induced coma. We pray for his recovery.

UPDATE: 24 hours later doctors reported a successful operation on the lung and predicted that Rim will be able to sing again.

UPDATE: Happy ending here.
