The key facts

  • Sergio Montana, son of Anatoly Kashpirovsky, stated that his father's work destroyed the family.
  • A dispute arose over a house in California and Montana's absence from the funeral.
  • The other sons demand disclosure of the circumstances of the death and a DNA test.

The death of the psychotherapist and the family crisis

Anatoly Kashpirovsky, the well-known Soviet and Russian psychotherapist, died on October 3, 2026, at the age of 87. A few weeks after his death, the celebrity's son Sergio Montana, who lives in the United States, publicly stated that his father's absolute devotion to his work led to the destruction of their family. In an interview with RIA Novosti, Montana noted that the psychotherapist's career had a strong impact on the lives of his loved ones, and that this devotion to his work ultimately became the cause of the family's breakdown.

The conflict over the inheritance and the funeral

Family disagreements intensified after Kashpirovsky's passing. Sergio Montana found himself at the center of discussion because of his absence from his father's funeral: his nephew Yuri Mamaev claimed that the son had refused to fly in from the United States, but Montana himself denied this, explaining that he was unable to come. In addition, a dispute arose over a house in the American state of California, which Montana claims; the property is valued at approximately 340 thousand dollars. The son also made accusations against the psychotherapist's widow Gulizar Chalbashova, asserting that she turned his father against him and his grandchildren.

The demands of the other sons and questions of inheritance

In parallel with Montana's statements, Anatoly Kashpirovsky's other sons — Sergey Kashpirovsky and Alexey Fushtey — turned to the widow with a demand to disclose the circumstances of the death of the psychotherapist. They demanded that information about the celebrity's final hours be provided and that an independent examination be allowed. Alexey Fushtey, who claims to be a relative of the psychotherapist, also expressed his intention to push for a DNA test. These actions point to an ongoing conflict between the heirs, which involves both questions of inheritance and verification of the cause of death.
