The woman received her pension and lost it after meeting a swindler.
The artist herself spoke about what happened in an interview with Fontanka .
93-year-old Dorotenko shared that she received her pension of 30 thousand rubles in cash and went to the store to buy water and coffee.
There she met a woman: "Dark, like a gypsy." She helped the elderly actress get coffee from the top shelf.
It turned out that behind this friendly gesture was a clever trick. Dorotenko got the coffee, but then discovered that her pension was gone.
