MOSCOW, 21 Jul. Anna, the widow of the deceased humorist Alexander Ponamorenko, became a guest of the program «Live», where she said that after the death of her husband she was left without a livelihood and the support of his brother Valery.

“I turned to Valery because he promised,” said the comedian's widow. — But I was refused, and in a rude manner. For six months, neither in word, nor in deed, nor in finances did my brother help.
Anna Ponomarenko said that when her husband was alive and struggling with a serious illness, his twin brother did not participate in the cost of treatment. “He didn’t give a penny. He only thought about his problems,” the widow said.
Moreover, according to the widow, Valery Ponomarenko asked his brother to perform on stage and tour. He agreed to help the family and pay off debts.
“The last concerts that they worked out together were scary to watch. It was as if my brother didn’t see what condition he was in. We said:“ We must stop.
In December last year, Alexander Ponomarenko passed away. Anna was left without a livelihood, since her husband's concerts were the main source of income in the family. The humorist's widow is never a job.
Therefore, now, having entered into an inheritance, she is going to sell her husband's property in order to deal with debts and improve her life. According to Anna, she received an apartment, a plot and a garage, the total cost of which is approximately nine million rubles.
“We will now sell property to solve problems. Perhaps we will buy something less, and we will give the rest,” shared Anna Ponomarenko.
A friend of Valery Ponomarenko, actor and musician Nikolai Bandurin, also appeared on the air of the program. The artist did not agree with the words of the widow.
In his opinion, Valery Ponomarenko is a «high-priority» person who helped the family of his twin brother in every possible way. — Valery has helped and will help. But understand, he still has his own family: a wife, three sons and a retired mother.
Now Anna Ponomarenko and her two children do not communicate with Valery Ponomarenko and his family, including an elderly mother-in-law.
