Alla Pugacheva: Russian Queen of Pop opposes the Kremlin

Alla Pugacheva is a true institution in Russia. On the pop Olympus, she outlasted all Kremlin bosses from Brezhnev to Yeltsin. Politically, however, she always held back. Until now.

The list of so-called “foreign agents” is announced in Russia every Friday. There are usually several new names on this list. Last Friday, however, it was only one. But what a man: Maxim Galkin.

The comedian and presenter is one of the biggest stars of Russian show business. All of Russia knows his face. And the audience loves him. Günther Jauch, Hape Kerkeling and Stefan Raab would probably not even come up with his popularity ratings together.

For years Galkin was considered untouchable. He even got away with malicious parodies of Vladimir Putin. But the Kremlin is now demonstrating: Anyone can be pushed off Olympus. In Russia he is now considered a “foreign agent”. ( Queen is supposed to feed children like animals – Russian state television spreads this fake.

The political scientist : “With the public appeal by the Russian prima donna to ask her to be recognized as a foreign agent, the supreme power in Russia has received a second serious blow to her royal dignity within a few days. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi shared the first blow at the summit in Samarkand when he lectured to Putin about the inadmissibility of wars in our time. The second blow came from the most important woman in Russia.”
