Showman Stanislav Sadalsky explained that he felt sympathy for Alla Pugacheva after the singer saw a decline in income following her departure from Russia. His remarks were cited by aif.ru.
He noted that Russian artists generally do not find immediate opportunities abroad and added that his concern was directed solely toward Alla in this situation.
Sadalsky also clarified his stance on Maxim Galkin, who the Russian authorities have labeled a foreign agent. He described the comedian in unflattering terms and said he did not intend to discuss him any further. The actor made it clear that he views Galkin as not worthy of serious consideration in conversation.
In a separate recollection, Galkin spoke about his wife Alla Pugacheva comparing emigration to a form of careful, deliberate consumer shopping. He recalled that they had traveled to Riga in a dedicated carriage that was joined to a train headed in that direction. Today, the family reportedly tends to fly on European airlines instead of regional carriers. (Source: aif.ru)
On September 29, 2022, reports indicated that Galkin and Pugacheva relocated to Israel following the onset of the special military operation. In Russia, Galkin had been identified by authorities as a foreign agent, with the designation tied to alleged political activity.
November 2023 brought reporting from StarHit stating that Galkin and Pugacheva had traveled to Cyprus, with recent photographs of the artists showing them in leisure moments there. The reports suggested continued movements and visits as part of their ongoing international sojourn.
Earlier coverage mentioned that Kristina Orbakaite was reportedly planning a move to the United States before the end of February. These discussions reflect a broader pattern of public figures reassessing residence options in light of evolving political and social circumstances. (Attribution: aif.ru; StarHit)
