WITH early years Stella had to make her own way in life. IN school years I did choreography. In her youth she worked as a model. In high school, I decided to become an actress and studied in a theater studio.

After school I entered the Moscow Art Theater School. However, after finishing theater university do brilliant career she didn't succeed in the cinema. She constantly attended castings and often acted, but she got roles either as an extra or in episodes. The actress was not even mentioned in the credits - and therefore it is not possible to establish the complete filmography of Stella Baranovskaya.

The only film where she is mentioned in the credits is the 2006 tragicomedy “Grandson of an Astronaut,” directed by Andrei Panin. There Baranovskaya is designated as a girl with a foreign car.

From Maxim, the actress gave birth to a son, Daniel, in 2011. Stella decided to give birth even though her boyfriend demanded an abortion and had no intention of marrying her. When Dan’s son was finally born, Maxim Kotin did not recognize him and did not help raise the boy. Maxim Kotin’s mother, socialite Irina Winter, also did not want to communicate with her grandson or help raise him.

As mentioned above, Stella did not have the chance to play high-profile roles on screen. Wide fame came to her as a result of a serious illness. The illness and death of Stella Baranovskaya On New Year's Eve 2016, Stella felt unwell and had a fever that did not subside for another three days. However, she did not immediately go to the doctors. At the beginning of January 2016 American specialists They carried out all the necessary examinations, diagnosed her with leukemia and prescribed chemotherapy. She said: “I had a biopsy. They diagnosed me with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. I was prescribed pediatric chemotherapy and was told that there was a good chance of recovery, since I was not yet 30 years old.” The terrible news about the diagnosis found Baranovskaya in America with her fiancé.

According to Larisa Pokhilchuk, a nurse at the hospital in Minnesota where Baranovskaya went, the chosen one turned away from the girl after learning that she had cancer. "When she was discharged with her mother and Danya, they had nowhere to live. They stayed at my house... At that very moment she experienced betrayal loved one. The groom didn't even lift a finger to help her... We had several long conversations in the kitchen. What Stella experienced in her 30 years, some people do not experience in a hundred years. So many betrayals, so many difficult situations,” said the nurse.

After some time, Stella stopped chemotherapy because it was very difficult for her emotionally. According to Baranovskaya, she was constantly crying. Nurse Larisa Pokhilchuk explained: Baranovskaya had a very difficult time with chemotherapy and experienced hellish torment, which is why she later abandoned this procedure. "Stella is very tall pain threshold, she was literally climbing the wall in pain during chemotherapy. She went through six steps, but didn’t go through the last one, it was too painful for her,” Pokhilchuk said.

It was because of this that Baranovskaya turned to alternative medicine. In particular, shortly before her death, the actress was treated by healer Akylbek from Kazakhstan. Her friend Anfisa Chekhova noted that after Stella’s sessions with healer Akylbek, her pain went away and she could sleep peacefully. The actress also traveled to Mexico, where she was promised an injection that would kill cancer cells. The meeting with the doctor did not take place. After this, Baranovskaya tried to be treated by people practicing metaphysical techniques. Having learned about terrible diagnosis, Stella asked people for help. Thanks to her friend, a fundraiser was opened for the woman’s treatment. Many stars of Russian show business helped her.

She left behind a 6-year-old son, Danya, who is last days The actress’s life was looked after by her star friends. After the death of the actress, Katya Gordon and Anfisa Chekhova began preparing documents for recognition of paternity by Maxim Kotin - so that the man would at least pay alimony to raise his son Dani.

Katya Gordon spoke about how she tried to get Stella Baranovskaya’s child to recognize him biological father Maxim Kotin, son socialite Irina Winter.

“I wrote that she was dying and the boy needed his support. I sent a photo of both Stella and the child, but Maxim’s family blocked me. By the way, even Maxim’s girlfriend wrote: “I know this story, and all my close people know this story, but they consider him illegitimate, so they don’t want to see him.”

Stella’s grandmother, Lidia Petrovna Kryuchonkova, also expressed her intention to raise her great-grandson: “For me, he is the last straw of life, I have to help him, because my daughter (Stella’s mother) is inadequate... I know about Dani’s father that when he was 10 months old , his father did not refuse him. He may have wanted to, but his parents were against it. When she became pregnant, he said: “I’ll give you money, have an abortion.” But she didn’t have it,” said Lidia Petrovna.

Stella’s father, Stanislav Kanteladze, is also ready to help his grandson. He flew to the funeral of the actress from the USA to Moscow.

“I don’t know about Stella’s mother, but I think that no parent wants to harm their child. We communicate with her. We have a grandson, we must raise him. First of all, we must agree among ourselves how we will do this to do, this is a very difficult question. Of course, it would be good for the child if he went to America. And he would be raised there... I would like to take him, but we’ll see how we come to an agreement,” he said.

And the transfer itself

So there is a possibility that Stella’s father will take the child?

Biography of Stella Baranovskaya

Stella Baranovskaya born in Moscow in 1987. In her youth she studied choreography and worked as a model. In high school, Stella decided to become an actress, studied in a theater studio, and after school she entered the Moscow Art Theater School. However, do acting career the girl did not succeed: she constantly attended castings, but she only got episodic roles in TV series and low-budget films. Her only mention in the credits is in the 2006 tragicomedy “Grandson of a Cosmonaut” by Andrei Panin and Tamara Vladimirtseva. Baranovskaya starred there in the cameo role of a girl in a foreign car.

Stella Baranovskaya became known after the scandal that erupted in early 2016. A 28-year-old girl wrote on social networks that she was able to achieve a transfer of acute lymphoblastic leukemia into remission. However, some Internet users did not believe her, deciding that she allegedly invented the disease by collecting money from gullible citizens.

Stella decided to answer all the accusations publicly, speaking on a number of television shows on federal channels. So, she appeared on the talk show “Live ”, where she explained: indeed, she went into remission, but metastases went to the brain. The girl was forced to make excuses in response to the attacks.

Larisa Kryuchonkova, Stella’s mother, supported her daughter’s choice in terms of unconventional methods and examination: “I was in the hospital with her. I was allowed to live in the ward. I saw how she felt after chemotherapy.”

Stella Baranovskaya continued her treatment by going to Mexico to see a certain healer who promised a cure for cancer, but the girl was unable to meet with him.

On September 4, 2017, Stella Baranovskaya passed away at the age of 29, as reported on Instagram by her friends Katya Gordon and Anfisa Chekhova.

In recent days, Stella could no longer walk; she was in severe pain. Next to her were her close friends - TV presenters Lera Kudryavtseva and Anfisa Chekhova, singer Zara. After Stella's death, they were organizing her funeral.

Shortly before her death, Stella Baranovskaya turned to Katya Gordon's law office to determine the paternity of her son Dani and draw up a will, but did not have time to file a lawsuit. It is known that the child's father's name is Maxim Kotin, and the son of Stella Baranovskaya, according to Gordon, is exactly like this man.

After the death of Stella Baranovskaya, Katya Gordon recorded a video message, which she published on Instagram: “...Stella was never a charlatan and died in the wildest pain. And there was never any exorbitant money collected allegedly for pseudo-diseases... Stella died some kind of martyr's death... in wild pain and worried that you, Max Kotin, even in this situation turned away from your little son...»

Stella Baranovskaya and Maxim Kotin

People like Stella Baranovskaya are usually envied. She was a beautiful girl, she happily shared photos on Instagram, from which many concluded that “life was good.”

Cars, flowers, lips, legs, restaurants, more bouquets. And you wouldn’t wish the misfortunes that befell the 31-year-old actress on your enemy. She had to face complete hatred strangers, a serious illness. And even the fact that before her death she did not have the opportunity to take care of the future of her small child, writes KP.

I wish I could live and not bother. But at the beginning of last year she was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. She underwent treatment in the USA and Russia. Initially, she underwent several courses of chemotherapy, which made her feel much worse. At some point, she really began to be treated with everything she could. Weiland Rodd, ex-husband Irina Ponarovskaya, tried to treat her with a strict diet - juices, vegetables and fruits. And she tried to heal herself with chlorophyll... The essence of this method is to saturate cancer cells with a natural preparation from spirulina in order to activate the release of oxygen under the influence of laser irradiation.

Alternative medicine did its job, but not at all what the patient expected. In the final stages, she was no longer taken for chemotherapy, since both her kidneys and liver were already failing. Yes, she wouldn’t have helped at this stage. Even those doctors who offered her chemotherapy did not give guarantees and honestly warned that her body might not be able to withstand it. But Stella convinced herself that she was feeling better, thereby wasting precious time.

All this time, the girl was supported by Lera Kudryavtseva and Anfisa Chekhova, who helped spread information about Stella’s illness. There wasn’t a lot of money for treatment from the very beginning, so a fundraiser was announced. And then they came, the “haters.” Who began to flood the Internet with streams of hatred, trying to convince the public that Stella was lying. Entire groups were created where everyone could kick a sick woman. There were also witnesses who saw in different places of the capital a happy, contented woman who did not look dying at all.

At the end of 2016, the girl went on “Live” to Boris Korchevnikov, where she honestly spoke about her illness, that the treatment helped her and she had a lot of chances to live, and also answered the haters. But the disease did not subside.


After treatment in America (where, by the way, as family friends say, her mother flew to see her), Stella swam, sunbathed, and tried to enjoy life. Then it got worse.

Stella, meanwhile, realizing that the end was just around the corner, tried to decide the fate of her son. Katya Gordon, who is now trying to help the child, says:

“Anfisa Chekhova contacted me to help her friend Stella with Lera Kudryavtseva. They asked her to make a will, and told her about difficult situation with baby. It was urgent to establish paternity, since Stella practically did not walk. And after her death, 6-year-old Dani had only his rather elderly great-grandmother. According to Stella, her mother (Dani’s grandmother) never really helped her with treatment. And, therefore, she really did not want the child to go to her mother. She once called me and told me that she needed a child solely for the sake of money. Well, in front of me, her mother really didn’t help much. And I witnessed how once relatives transferred money for Stella’s treatment, and my mother did not deliver it. That’s why Baranovskaya asked to somehow get through to the child’s father.”

Stella Baranovskaya in the hospital

According to Stella, several years ago she had difficult relationships with Maxim Kotin. His mother, Irina Winter, regularly appears in gossip columns and tells glossy publications about her garden. The interior designer and art director of the “Gallery on Mosfilm” will post on Instagram photos from luxurious vacations on yachts, trips in expensive cars and other attributes of an expensive life. My friends on Facebook are all decent people: gallery owners (Aidan Salakhova), lawyers (Alexander Dobrovinsky), magazine publishers. There is even Maria Maksakova. Maxim’s father, Igor Kotin, previously headed the copper department of the representative office of the Swiss company Glencore. Now he is listed as the founder of NFR Energo LLC. And, apparently, he is not in poverty at all.

When little Daniel was born, Stella brought the baby to meet relatives and ask for some alimony out of naivety. But, as the poor mother told her friends in horror, the grandfather asked the guards “to remove this bastard from the house and not let him in again.” Then the disease was not close and on the horizon, so she coped with the first five years of her son’s life without outside help and the need to recognize the child. But when she was already in a completely sad state, realizing that the child was already left with her great-grandmother, who was not able to take care of him, she decided to start establishing paternity - maybe dad would take care of the boy after her death.

“I wrote to Maxim Kotin, who, according to Stella, is Dani’s biological father (they are really very similar). And she wrote it to her mother, Irina Wintour, Gordon continues. - She told me that this was the situation and I needed help. She might not know that this is the situation with Stella, and that she considers Maxim the father of her child. After which I was immediately blocked, depriving me of the opportunity to write. Although, I could have written “you’re wrong, Katya,” or “I don’t know anything about this,” but I simply decided to ignore it. Anfisa Chekhova and I sincerely believed that the boy’s father would respond. And they even sent photos of Stella in a deplorable state. And we had all the medical documents on hand. We periodically took care of the child, who observed this most cruel picture of his mother dying. The boy was periodically with me, then with Anfisa. Now he is with the singer Zara, where he spent the last three days. We were all puzzled by his fate. I kept wanting a notary to come to her as soon as possible, which was not so easy, since Stella was in a clinic 80 kilometers from Moscow. But at some point it seemed to her that she was recovering. And so she postponed the notary until later. Although we had already approved a claim with her to establish paternity and were ready to file it. At the same time, a year ago, the real persecution of Stella began. Since she was accused of not being sick and deceiving people for money. A certain Madina and her mother went on TV and said that Baranovskaya was a charlatan. And even last Friday she was ready to go on TV with a story about her theft. This hurt Stella to the core, and she was even ready to take a lie detector test if they brought it to her. For she no longer walked and screamed from any touch to her. When we put in an IV, the blood was very thick, and it was clear that she was living her last days.”

Stella Baranovskaya, who announced her recovery from cancer, died from cancer

Stella is gone, but 6-year-old Danya remains with a dash in the “father” column. And also grandparents, the cream of our society, pretend that the child does not exist. Beautiful people In general, it’s hard to be unhappy - who will feel sorry for them? It's her own fault, obviously. They will also spit in your back. This story is more about that, and not about the fact that a girl who became ill from chemotherapy decided to try everything to be treated in an attempt to save herself, and eventually died. What will happen to the child? Unclear. Who will be in charge of establishing paternity - Dani's old great-grandmother? Or will “secular people” take pity on the boy and take him under their wing? Or will he still go to an orphanage?

September 4, 30-year-old actress Stella Baranovskaya, which for a long time fought cancer and died. Her friend reported this Katya Gordon, who published an emotional video. “Stella died some kind of martyr’s death... in wild pain and worried that you, Max Kotin, even in this situation turned away from your little son. And she also cried because of your post Madina Tatraeva that she was a charlatan... her friends helped her... and she lived in poverty... Artem gave money to rent an apartment, Anfisa, Zara helped as best they could... but there is no person... there is a child Danya with a dash in the paternity column... but grandparents, rich socialites don’t even want to know about him...”- Gordon said.

In 2016, Stella became the heroine of the “Live Broadcast” program, whose studio she decided to visit after slander against her. A certain Madina Tatraeva, who herself is fighting cancer, accused the actress of deceiving the public and using the money raised for treatment to buy cars, houses and travel around the world. Communities were even created against Baranovskaya in social networks, throwing mud at her name every day.


Now, after the death of the actress, all the haters are silent, hastily deleting groups on social networks and refusing to comment. But, according to those close to the late Stella, all this no longer matters. Now Baranovskaya’s star friends - Katya Gordon, Anfisa Chekhova, Lera Kudryavtseva and singer Zara - are trying to find six year old son Stella Dani a new family. As it turned out, while Baranovskaya was suffering from pain, her heir was at Gordon’s house, and after that Zara took the boy to her place.


The alleged father of the child, Maxim Kotin, refuses to contact Katya, according to whom she and Stella collected documents to file a claim to establish paternity, but did not have time. The orphaned boy has a grandmother (the mother of the late actress), but she, according to media reports, is not able to provide him with a comfortable life. How will it turn out? further fate little Dani is still unknown.

The Internet is seething with outrage after the death of young actress Stella Baranovskaya from leukemia. Her death became one of the most discussed topics. Stella's friends tell how the confessed live about her terrible diagnosis, Stella was persecuted: she is a fraudster, she collected money and is relaxing on the beach, she does not have any terrible disease.

We have new type death - death live. This is a threat near death, which the person told about general public- on TV or on Facebook. For what? Does it heal the soul? Helps raise money for treatment? This is a very delicate area of ​​​​a person’s personal right - to remain silent or to speak, to smoke a cigarette or to undergo a painful chemotherapy session? We are discussing this topic with RG experts.

When my friend Alexander Garros was dying of cancer,” says writer and State Duma deputy Sergei Shargunov, “his wife Anna Starobinets wrote about everything that was happening on Facebook.” And her story evoked enormous and sincere sympathy and compassion. This, on the one hand, is a terrible confession, and on the other, it is literature. Literature of suffering. I think that somewhere this is a sermon - human dignity. But it’s terrible when someone else’s suffering turns into hype, into something fashionable. Chattering on TV, making another talk show out of trouble - this too will not surprise anyone today. And here the line between caring for a person, raising funds to help him and entertaining the public is not always obvious.

The line between caring for a person and a show for the needs of the public is not always obvious

It seems to me that the task of volunteering is certainly noble, when money is collected, articles are written that encourage the collection of help. I myself often wrote such articles to help a sick person. You create artistic text and you know it will work. But I also understand those who are silent about the end and departure. I often recall the famous memoirs of Bishop Anthony of Sourozh about how his mother passed away: “My mother was dying of cancer for three years. She was operated on - and unsuccessfully... My mother said: “That means I will die.” And I answered: “ Yes." And then we remained together in complete silence, communicating without words... We stood in the face of something that entered life and turned everything upside down. It was not a ghost, it was not evil, horror. It was "Something final that we had to meet, not yet knowing what it would mean. We stayed together and were silent for as long as our feelings required. And then life moved on." At the end of his life, he himself repeated her departure. So everything is individual. It is worthy to remain silent about your grief, and to speak. But the most disgusting thing that can happen is when leaving life turns into a show.

And the show is fueled and fueled by bullying on social networks.

Cyberbullying is different from all types aggressive behavior because it is systematic and regular, that is, there is a constant renewal of negativity and feeding it,” comments Galina Soldatova, professor of the Faculty of Psychology at Lomonosov Moscow State University. - This does not mean that the Internet is bad. But we all know very well that for cancer patients, support and faith that you can cope are very important. And bullying is very disruptive. It seems to me that this was one of the reasons that Stella left ahead of time. We didn't let her cope. We are all observers and we could support her. But most of us turned out to be passive sympathizers.

But Stella did not die from online bullying. It's disgusting, but not lethal.

She passed away because she was killed by an “imaginary” in someone’s eyes terrible disease. And perhaps her refusal to be treated with classical methods and her choice in favor of traditional medicine. Unfortunately, cancer is as old as the world. But this diagnosis always causes wild horror in the patient. He immediately begins to look for ways of salvation, and the simplest and most understandable of them is to go on the Internet and search there. Many are beginning to believe that oncology can be cured with calendula solution and other folk remedies of this type. Nobody minds folk remedies. But in the field of oncology, where in last years Incredible changes are occurring and the number of remissions is growing; relying on a calendula solution is unreasonable barbarism. In oncology, more than anywhere else, you should not self-medicate, even if cancer today is not as terrible as it is made out to be.

We must resort to classical medicine, because it is precisely this that allows us to achieve remission,” says hematologist of the 6th hematology department of the Botkin Hospital, candidate medical sciences Sergey Chernysh. - And the patients then live happily ever after. If any unfavorable factors are added, you can resort to bone marrow transplantation. Today in medicine there are generally accepted regimens that are used all over the world, different for different patients, but well tested. Hematology - rapidly developing medical specialty, and the results of this development are noticeable.
