The once very popular performer Alexander Barikin died almost 5 years ago. Since then, his elderly mother, Alexandra Georgievna, who has serious health problems, has been struggling to make ends meet. The woman lives on a meagre pension and is forced to deny herself even the most basic necessities.

The well-known writer Lena Lenina decided to help the 85-year-old needy mother of the artist by visiting her and bringing with her medicines and fruits that she cannot afford to buy on her own.

«Заехала в гости к Александре Георгиевне Барыкиной в Люберцы, привезла лекарств и фруктов)) Всплакнули вместе, Сашу помянули. Она держится молодцом» (I paid a visit to Alexandra Georgievna Barikina in Lyubertsy and brought some medicines and fruits)) We both cried a little and remembered Sasha. She is holding up well, - Lenina said.
