The UK refused to institute proceedings against the Chekalin family. The main thing
The Investigative Committee refused to institute proceedings against blogger Valeria Chekalina, known under the pseudonym Lerchek, because of the payment of debts. She continues her cancer treatment. All the details are in the Izvestia article.
Ending tax disputes
On April 10, the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation refused to open a criminal case against Valeria Chekalina and her ex-husband Artem Chekalin. The decision is related to the full repayment of arrears in taxes, penalties and fines, which was made in March 2026. Earlier, the defense requested that the investigator's decision be attached to the case file.
The Moscow Arbitration Court also terminated the blogger's bankruptcy proceedings. During the meeting, documents on the transfer of 176 million rubles were presented, which fully covered the requirements of the tax service in the amount of 173 million rubles. Despite rumors of funds coming from third parties, the blogger's lover, Luis Squicciarini, said that the debt was repaid on his own.
The blogger's health status
Valeria Chekalina is undergoing treatment for stage four stomach cancer. According to Artyom Chekalin, the blogger tries to stay cheerful, goes swimming and walks in the park with the children. However, the disease is severe: due to chemotherapy, her hair began to fall out, she had vision problems and difficulty moving.
In her social networks, Lercek posted a video in which she shaved her hair after the curls began to fall out. During the procedure, she was supported by Luis Squicciarini, who later shaved his beloved bald on his own. Chekalina herself attributes the late detection of the disease to the lack of necessary equipment in the state medical institutions of Istra.
"I love this life very much and I will definitely live by your prayers," the blogger addressed her audience.
The reaction of relatives and the public
Artem Chekalin said that their daughter reacts extremely emotionally to the news about her mother's condition. The girl asks her father disturbing questions about the possible outcome of the disease, which makes it difficult for the man himself to hold back tears. While Valeria Chekalina is in the hospital, her ex-husband takes care of all the children's upbringing.
"My daughter says, 'Dad, is mom dying?' When she told me that for the first time, I cried a little myself, because it's all hard," Chekalin shared with the Izvestia correspondent.
At the same time, publications appeared on social networks questioning the severity of the blogger's condition. Inna Kombarova stated that her friends allegedly saw Chekalina training at the gym shortly before the news of her hospitalization. Lawyer Ekaterina Gordon, who helps Valeria Chekalina, on the contrary, confirmed the presence of petitions for referral to a specialized center due to unbearable pain.
