Stanislav Sadalsky, a theater and film actor and radio host who has been honored as an Artist of the RSFSR, remarked that Alla Pugacheva travels internationally largely because of her affection for her husband. He conveyed this perspective in a statement to aif.ru.
According to Sadalsky, Pugacheva acts as a devoted companion to her spouse, pop culture figure and host Maksim Galkin, following him wherever he performs. He added that Pugacheva seemed especially comfortable in this dynamic because, in his view, no one treated her with the same level of generosity or material support that Galkin offers.
In his critique, Sadalsky described Galkin as a person he considers unwise, suggesting that he should take a quieter role rather than speaking publicly.
Earlier, Sadalsky offered sympathy for Alla Pugacheva amid concerns about a decline in her earnings after she left Russia for emigration. He framed his remarks as a recognition of the challenges that can accompany such a move for a star of her stature.
The actor also clarified that his sympathy did not extend to Maksim Galkin, whom he labeled a person he regards as lacking prudence. He said he was not interested in discussing the comedian further and noted his disapproval with the ongoing discourse surrounding him. The remarks underscore a long-running, sharp public exchange about the personal and professional choices made by Pugacheva and her husband.
In related coverage, there were earlier reports that Christina Orbakaite planned to travel to the United States before the end of February, indicating ongoing public interest in the movements and plans of notable figures connected to Pugacheva.
