The widow of comedian Alexandra Ponomarenko shared in a public speech how their family is coping with financial strain and mounting debts from her late husband. While some loans have been settled, other obligations still loom, forcing the family to consider selling belongings and real estate to stay afloat. Among the assets under consideration is the apartment where she lives with her two children, a home that has become both a sanctuary and a financial asset they must reassess.
The widow explained that the immediate plan is to downsize living space, sell the current residence, and use the proceeds to secure a smaller, more affordable home. The aim is to ensure her children are supported and cared for while meeting ongoing obligations. She emphasized that she has a kindergarten and ongoing schooling for the children, alongside a mortgage that continues to weigh on the family budget. The burden is not just financial; it also affects day-to-day decisions about where the family will live and how they will allocate the limited resources available.
