Rudkovskaya on the verdict of Lercek's ex-husband

The producer expressed hope for a review of the sentence of Valeria's ex-husband Artem Chekalin, who received a seven-year sentence.

"I understand everything, but there must be some compassion for people who find themselves in such trouble and have fully paid off all their debts to the state. <...> I was told that children ask every day who they will stay with if their mother and father, who is in prison for seven years, are not there.. I'm even afraid to imagine what kind of answer they will receive," Rudkovskaya wrote.

She urged not to take away the blogger's children's last chance at childhood happiness.

The course of treatment of Lercek

Chekalina is undergoing therapy at the Blokhin Cancer Center. The blogger was diagnosed with stage IV stomach cancer, and the treatment is divided into nine stages. On the background of chemotherapy, she had serious complications: partial loss of vision in one eye and difficulty moving.

Due to hair loss, Chekalina is forced to wear a wig, and a special venous port was installed in her neck area to administer medications.

Photographer Georgy Kamaev posted pictures from the clinic showing the blogger's condition during the procedures. At the same time, despite feeling unwell, after visiting the hospital, Chekalina went to a working meeting.
