Ponomarenko died at the end of December. The artist hid his fourth-stage stomach cancer from his friends for a long time and did not ask for help. The man had to take out loans to pay for the expensive treatment. At the same time, when he learned about Alexander’s health problems, many of his colleagues helped financially.

“Everyone was hoping until the last minute that we would pull him out.” We went to the doctors. According to acquaintances – to get money for treatment, for a clinic. But he kept the illness a secret from his family and friends until the very end. Of course, if we had known about it earlier, something could have been done, ”complained Nikolai Bandurin.

Anatoly Mutter, the concert director of the Ponomarenko brothers’ duet, knew about Alexander’s financial difficulties. “I hugged him, I say:” Sasha, hold on. And he answers me: “Listen to me, I took a loan for 800 thousand rubles. I didn’t want Anya to know, because there are already a lot of debts, ”Anatoly shared.

The widow of the artist learned about the accumulated debts only after his death: Ponomarenko owes the banks about two million rubles. Anna decided to sell her three-room apartment in Rostov-on-Don to clear her debt. The value of the property is about six million: with the remaining amount, Anna plans to buy a smaller apartment.

“Anechka and I went to the bank. “You have six months to close the loan.” Valera and I decided to do a series of concerts in memory of Saša. I hope people will come, understand and, of course, help, “said the concert director of the duet of the Ponomarenko brothers on the air of the show” You won’t believe it! on NTV.

After the death of his brother, Valery Ponomarenko found a replacement for him in a comedy duet: the comedian will perform in tandem with Nikolai Bandurin.
