Entrepreneur and “infogypsies” informant Andrey Kovalev on the air of the YouTube show “Alena, dammit!” He told how Alla Pugacheva helped the author of the hit “Harlekino”.
According to Kovalev, Primadonna learned that the poet Boris Barkas was in a difficult situation – the author of her song was addicted to alcohol and remained on the street. Later, their paths crossed on television. “Honestly, I hadn’t seen him until then, I thought he’d come out as a drunk alcoholic, but he turned out to be such a decent person. It is indeed a tragedy: he drank, his wife fired him, he lost his passport, he became homeless, ”says the businessman.
Kovalev noted that Pugacheva urged him to help Barkas. “Alla Borisovna called me and said, ‘Andryukha, let’s get him a two-person apartment?” And we bought an apartment with him, but unfortunately he did not quit drinking. He actually drank this flat in two weeks and died.”
After the death of Pugacheva, the author of the hit, the apartment went to her daughter. The singer’s assistant suggested to Kovalev to stop the deal and keep the property for himself, but he refused and decided that the apartment should go to the Barkas family.
