Stepanenko Appears on TV Again
Yelena Stepanenko, the 72-year-old comedy star, is set to return to Russian television in a new Channel One special. The veteran performer will co-host Humor Parade alongside Karen Avanesyan, marking her latest appearance since her high-profile divorce.
Stepanenko has maintained a low profile in recent years, dividing her time between Russia and the U.S. She often stays with the family of her close friend, Viktorina Petrosyants, while abroad. Despite her private lifestyle, insiders note she looks noticeably younger and healthier, having lost weight.
Her professional reputation remains strong, with colleagues continuing to respect her work. Rumours suggest she has left assets from her divorce settlement to her stepdaughter, though she keeps financial matters private. The upcoming *Humor Parade* will air on Channel One, though the producer’s name has not been publicly confirmed. Stepanenko’s involvement signals her ongoing connection to Russian entertainment, even as she enjoys a quiet retirement.
The comedy special will bring Stepanenko back into the spotlight after years of limited public appearances. Her return to television follows a period of personal change, yet her standing in show business remains unchanged. The programme is expected to draw attention from long-time fans and new viewers alike.
