The Russian pop icon Alla Pugacheva, who left for Israel with her husband and daughters shortly after the start of the Russian war of aggression against Ukraine, has returned to Moscow and with her ostentatious mourning for Mikhail Gorbachev sent a clear, albeit indirect, signal against the regime .

She hasn't cried like that for a long time, wrote the 73-year-old Pugacheva on Instagram;

with Gorbachev an epoch came to an end in which their country gained freedom, ceased to be an "evil empire" for the world and in which there was no fear for the future of the children.

Above all, Gorbachev rejected violence as a means of politics and to stay in power.

According to the diva, politicians are not without sin, but it is crucial that their mistakes do not become fatal to humanity.

Where is philanthropy and noblesse now, she asks, obviously against the background of the repression against opponents of the war and the war propaganda of the state media, which is increasingly being used in social networks.

Pugacheva also criticized Nikita Mikhalkov, an iconic film director and Putin confidant like her since Soviet times, who, at the opening of the Moscow Film Festival, praised the Ukraine war as a forward defense of traditional values ​​and the forge of a new Russian elite.

"Gentlemen, you are animals"

She posted a scene from Mikhalkov's 1976 Civil War film Slave of Love, in which the main heroine, who witnessed the atrocities of the White Guards loyal to the Tsar, cursed them with the words: "Gentlemen, you are animals.

You will be cursed by your own country!” Pugacheva wrote: “A great film, a great director – but where has the great person Nikita Mikhalkov gone to?” The post received more than a million likes.

Mikhalkov had reviled Russian artists who fled their homeland to protest the war, calling them "ungrateful" to their country.

Pugacheva explained that she had by no means emigrated, but had vacationed in Israel and received medical treatment.

Now she wants to "put things in order" at home.

She also found clear words for TV propagandist Vladimir Solovyov, who etched on his YouTube channel about her homecoming: "Why are you dragging this shit back to Russia?

A certain Pugacheva is back.

Does she want to teach us?” The diva commented: Volodya – Vladimir's pet form – she feels sorry.

You can burst with hate and insolence.
