According to Russian media reports, Igor said: "I see Mr. Gendler's skin getting darker and darker. When he said that he had a liver transplant from an African-American, I guess it might be the same. "I know him for years, but this is the first time his skin has turned dark."

For his part, Mr. Gendler also said his skin is gradually changing colors but that is not a problem for him.
