A prominent Russian pop figure, Philip Kirkorov, has withdrawn his posts from major social networks, including Instagram and VKontakte. The activity centered on messages about Alla Pugacheva, the legendary singer and former spouse of Kirkorov, announcing a new musical work and expressing deep affection for her. In a later note, Kirkorov credited the collaborators behind the composition and wished well to his audience, while sharing archival footage of Pugacheva.
The deleted posts had shown words of thanks to the music writer Konstantin Gubin and to Alla Pugacheva for the meaningful lyrics, accompanied by a warm holiday greeting and an emotional tribute. Afterward, all of the videos and captions related to Pugacheva’s new track were removed from the accounts, with no public explanation given for the decision.
March marked a notable moment: it was the first new release from Pugacheva in five years. The artist encouraged her current partner not to worry about her, describing a sense of calm that she has found in the relationship. She indicated no desire to alter the existing life she has built. Previously, Pugacheva had celebrated the launch of a new album after a long interval, signaling a renewed creative phase.
Following Russia’s military actions in Ukraine, Pugacheva traveled abroad with her husband, Maxim Galkin, and their children. Galkin has been labeled a foreign agent by Russian authorities, a designation that has shaped public and media discussions around their family. In her public remarks, Pugacheva challenged critics and urged supporters to address their concerns directly, while asking that her name be added to the list of foreign agents alongside her husband if necessary.
Earlier rumors or statements suggested that Obkarkaite might share her views in a Kremlin-related setting, positioning her within a broader public conversation about loyalty, state media narratives, and cultural diplomacy. The evolving story continues to unfold as fans and observers follow the artists’ moves across platforms and borders [citation].
