Singer, People's Artist of the USSR Alla Pugacheva left Russia with her children and husband Maxim Galkin shortly after the start of a special military operation in Ukraine.
Later, the Ministry of Justice of the Russian Federation entered Galkin into the register of individuals acting as a foreign agent.
Soon, the artist published a post on social networks with an appeal to the Ministry of Justice, in which she also asked to be recognized as a foreign agent out of solidarity with her husband.
“Appeal to the Ministry of Justice of the Russian Federation.
I ask you to enroll me in the ranks of foreign agents of my beloved country, because I am in solidarity with my husband, an honest, decent and sincere person, a true and incorruptible patriot of Russia, who wishes the Motherland prosperity, peaceful life, freedom of speech and an end to the death of our children for illusory goals that make our outcast country and complicate the lives of our citizens, ”the singer wrote on her Instagram page *.
The statement caused a mixed reaction from musicians, writers, actors and other public figures.
“The booth came to a logical conclusion: a fictitious husband, a homosexual and a traitor to his own father (a Soviet general) wanders around foreign panels, and a tired woman, once loved by the whole country, makes faces ... Some kind of sickening melancholy,” argues in writer Zakhar Prilepin on his Telegram channel.
“If she asks so, then she is a foreign agent!
She greatly overestimates herself and her influence.
He considers himself almost the navel of the earth.
It's funny to me to read and hear all this.
Let her be credited as a foreign agent, I don’t mind, ”the Fifth Channel quotes critic Sergei Sosedov.
Actress and presenter Maria Shukshina called Pugacheva's post "another of the liberal tricks", adding that the singer feels impunity, being sure that she will not suffer under any circumstances.
“Why did A. Pugacheva decide that our soldiers, who are defending the Russian people in the Donbass and their country, are less intelligent than she is and do not understand why they are shedding blood?
It is they who are fighting for the Motherland, for its prosperity and freedom.
Those who consider the goals of the NWO to be illusory are not there.
They are all in other warm places, ”added Shukshina in her Telegram channel.
Journalist Mikhail Shakhnazarov criticized Pugacheva's words about "the death of our guys for illusory goals."
“For illusory goals that make our country an outcast, you say?
And an outcast for whom?
For countries in which Russians have been bullied for a long time and in a natural way?
Or is it something else?” Gazeta.ru quoted him as saying.
Shakhnazarov also called the artist's post "a mini-manifesto with elements of a family contract."
A similar opinion was expressed by theater and film actor Stanislav Sadalsky.
His words are quoted by Channel Five: “Definitely directed and written by Maxim Galkin ... It was not Allusya who wrote the letter, but her husband.
I admire Alla as a wife.
This is exactly how a real wife (Decembrist) should support her husband.
Whoever understands this will understand.
Max simply has post-traumatic stress, which is a consequence of the loss of the main source of income.
Greedy!
I don’t feel sorry for him, but Alla sympathy!”.
The general director of the Spas channel, presenter and actor Boris Korchevnikov also commented on the singer's scandalous statement.
He suggested that Pugacheva would no longer be loved by the Russians as before.
“Alla Pugacheva wrote a very stupid and unfunny paragraph of text with a request to enroll her as a foreign agent.
Well, I wrote and wrote, okay.
But I don’t want to miss one of her phrases: “... stopping the death of our guys for illusory goals.”
Illusory goals?
Korchevnikov is surprised.
“On the contrary, everything illusory has now departed.
It's time for the harsh, but the truth.
And it was revealed in this truth that much of the former, in which we lived, was an illusion.
And one of them is the illusory glory of the singers who proclaimed themselves prima donnas, who fell in love with the country.
A country that they themselves, it turns out, do not like.
Well, when the illusion is gone, this dislike becomes mutual.
Rap artist and businessman Timati (Timur Yunusov), known for his patriotic position, also did not stand aside.
“I think that pouring slop on your “beloved” country and giggling at its political decisions and vector along with a bunch of immigrants in small European halls is “real dignity and patriotism”!
To be a beloved power and receive state awards all your life, practically collect a “full cavalier of the order” and stumble on receiving the last degree.
Here, rather, the truth about which the reader does not know.
But the reader remembers well that the “foreign agent” worked for half his life on the federal First Channel and it was for this reason that the whole “beloved country” recognized him.
I wish you good luck, ”Timati RTVI quotes.
Journalist and TV presenter Vladimir Solovyov in his Telegram channel posted a screenshot of the singer's publication, accompanied by a short comment: "Rest in peace, Alla Borisovna ...".
Among those who expressed approval and support for Alla Pugacheva were Ksenia Sobchak, singer Leva Bi-2, actor Maxim Vitorgan, actress and TV presenter Yulia Vysotskaya, singer Laima Vaikule and comedian Alexander Gudkov.
