On Monday in the capital held a memorial service and a funeral of a popularly beloved actor Nicholas Karachentsova.

The famous actor did not live up to his 74th birthday just a day. Once 13 years ago in a severe car accident, Karachentsov survived against all odds and bravely fought the effects of the injury. Rehabilitation stars put on their shoulders the wife of Nikolai Petrovich, actress Lyudmila Porgina.

Last autumn, the couple were expecting a new blow – the actor was diagnosed with an inoperable cancerous tumor in her left lung. Through the course of treatment, doctors have recorded a small improvement of the condition of Karachentsova, but a couple of weeks ago he was readmitted to the Oncology hospital, where he died due to kidney failure.

Goodbye to an actor in his native theatre “Lenkom” came to colleagues and hundreds of fans. Lyudmila Porgina from the stage told about the last words from a beloved spouse: “He asked you all not to cry. It went very easily and freely, saying, “I’m going to the other world, which is fine, and leave your love here”. Can leave the body, put it in the ground. But love will not leave. And he and his love will remain forever with me, son, daughter-in-law, continues in his grandchildren. I am very grateful to him. All these 45 years – it was a Sunny, joyful days of extraordinary happiness. Better man on the earth I do not know and have not seen. Bathe in joy and love is always fine. But it’s sad when this battery goes out. But there is a feeling of great love and him my appreciation and gratitude for what he was in this world. Thank you!”.
