It is not the first time that Alexander Pankratov-Cherny, 74, has worried his fans. On the morning of February 8, information appeared that he was hospitalized in a state prior to a heart attack. The artist’s wife, Yulia Monakhova, immediately denied these rumors. She said her husband slipped on the ice and had a slight bruise on his ribs. “He’s home, he’s fine,” the wife said. But the artist himself does not answer the phone.
Meanwhile, his business performance “Grooms”, which was supposed to take place on February 10 at the Moscow Variety Theatre, was cancelled. Instead of “Boyfriends” they played “Mermaid and Victoria” with Tatyana Kravchenko and Olesya Zheleznyak. By the way, Kravchenko also acts in “The Bride and Groom”: in the play he and Pankratov-Cherny are married. But she says that she doesn’t know what happened to Alexander Vasilyevich:
– I don’t know anything, it didn’t fall before my eyes. They told me that Sasha was sick. Instead of Sasha I will play with Olesya Zheleznyak,” Tatyana Kravchenko told us.
On February 11, the “Grooms” from Moscow are expected to arrive in St. Petersburg. The performance has not yet been cancelled.
– Alexander Vasilyevich’s wife told us that she would monitor his well-being for several days. He’s home now. If all goes well, he will come to see us in St. Petersburg,” said the company’s tour organizers. – The performance will take place in the Lensoveta Palace of Culture with 2,200 seats. The room is almost sold. I wouldn’t like to cancel. The wife says: Alexander Vasilievich’s ribs just hurt, there is nothing to worry about. There is ice everywhere. The other day he was on tour in Krasnoyarsk (with the same work “Grooms” – Ed.). There he slipped. And the sick man arrived in Moscow. At first I didn’t pay attention to the injury and then it became difficult to breathe. I felt bad. At the hospital they did an MRI and the doctors said his ribs were damaged.
We call Krasnoyarsk: why did the people of Krasnoyarsk “drop” the people’s favorite on the ice?
– No, what are you talking about! It didn’t happen here in Krasnoyarsk,” the administration of the Krasnoyarsk Palace of Culture “Combine Builders” told us. The play “The Bride and Groom” was performed on this stage. – Moscow artists held several performances in the cities of the Krasnoyarsk Territory: Norilsk, Kamsk… And returned to Moscow on February 5. Everything was fine with us. It was in Moscow that Pankratov-Cherny fell…
