In an interview, Yuri Loza commented on the behavior of Maxim Galkin and Alla Pugacheva after they left Russia. He described the harshest penalty for the two as oblivion, explaining that erasing them from public consciousness would be the most effective punishment. This viewpoint underscores a provocative stance about how public figures are treated when they relocate from Russia to other countries. [Source: aif.ru]
Loza argued that punishing them by taking away opportunities or privileges would be futile. Instead, he suggested that the best response is to stop talking about them altogether. He noted that by continuing to discuss Pugacheva in interviews, as well as asking questions about her, people are reintroducing her into the narrative. In his words, everything forgotten has been erased, and the warrior does not notice the loss when the platoon does not miss a single comrade. [Source: aif.ru]
The singer then reminded audiences that Diva has not released new songs or performed publicly for a long period. He presented himself as a retiree and asserted that the exodus of celebrities does not deprive Russians of anything significant. Loza suggested that Galkin quickly filled his television role, and that contemporary songs have continued to dominate radio airwaves for a long time. [Source: aif.ru]
Loza questioned what either figure had done to merit ongoing public attention, arguing that they are irrelevant now and that their influence depends on the presence of staff and media. His verdict: there is nothing substantial left to keep the spotlight on, and they are forgotten as soon as the public stops paying attention. [Source: aif.ru]
Earlier, a separate media figure, producer Inshakov, drew an analogy comparing a journey to the Donbass with a visit to Kirkorov’s baths, a remark that added to the ongoing discourse about celebrity movements and public perception. [Source: aif.ru]
