Maxim Galkin, a public figure often described in the media as a foreign agent in Russia, currently resides with his wife Alla Pugacheva and their children in Israel. Plans have surfaced to sell his Moscow apartment as a step toward purchasing housing in New York. This information comes from a Moscow-based producer affiliated with Galkin. He indicated that the couple intends to put up for sale a 103-square-meter apartment located near the Novye Cheryomushki metro station on Novocheryomushkinskaya Street. The property has been in the family since the passing of Galkin’s father, and the decision to move reflects the family’s evolving living arrangements amid international ties and professional commitments.

The choice of New York as the target market for a new residence is not incidental. Alla Pugacheva’s family has established roots in the United States, with her daughter Christina Orbakaite owning residences in Manhattan and Miami and residing in the USA with her spouse and child. Christina’s eldest son, Nikita Presnyakov, and his wife also spend considerable time in New York, underscoring the city’s appeal for the family. (citation: kp.ru)
Meanwhile, there have been discussions related to the sale of another property connected to the family. Reports from kp.ru note that the Gryaz village castle, previously associated with Pugacheva and Galkin, encountered difficulties in attracting buyers. The project required substantial investment, and obtaining a price that reflects the total funds put into it has proven challenging, with no easy path to a fair appraisal. (citation: kp.ru)
In related public remarks, former musician and showman Stas Baretsky claimed that he and colleagues purchased the Gryaz castle from the Pugacheva-Galkin family and were considering the possibility of repurposing the property for a morgue and crematorium. These statements underscore the sensational attention the couple’s real estate moves continue to generate, even as plans for new residences in North America unfold. (citation: kp.ru)
