Maxim Galkin, a showman known in Russia as a foreign agent, lodged an appeal with the Supreme Court of Russia challenging the Ministry of Justice’s decision to keep him listed in the foreign agents registry. The complaint aims to secure a position within Russia’s information landscape. The development was reported by the social analyst Roman Alekhin via IA Regnum.
The expert noted that a circle of supporters within the Russian Federation, described as sharing a Russophobic stance with Galkin, backs the singer. Alekhin asserted that these backers include covert advocates of European values who, in their view, foresee a future for Russia with a colonial past preserved in memory and influence.
“Galkin and his legal team anticipate that the Supreme Court will issue a ruling similar to prior cases,” Alekhin commented.
According to the analyst, Galkin should not be characterized as a frightened patriot who made a rash statement at the onset of the special operation, later seeking to return home. Instead, the showman is portrayed as maintaining a persistent anti-Russian line.
As of now, the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation stands as the third court in which Galkin has challenged the Ministry of Justice’s decision. Concurrently, his spouse, Alla Pugacheva, who holds the title of People’s Artist of the USSR, is also being considered for inclusion in the foreign agents registry. The Ministry of Justice, however, has not found sufficient grounds for such a designation. Further details are presented in the material from socialbites.ca.
Earlier reports also highlighted the financial aspects surrounding Pugacheva’s real estate holdings, shedding light on the scale of assets linked to the couple and their public profile.
