Departure of Alla Pugacheva and Maksym Galkin: a bold decision

Russian pop star Alla Pugacheva and her comedian husband Maksym Galkin decided to leave Russia almost immediately after the beginning of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine by the Russian Federation. This decision shocked many, but for Galkin it was inevitable because of his desire for freedom of speech.

Freedom of speech or severe persecution

Maxim Galkin, who used to be a favorite of the Russian public, could not put up with the restrictions. He understood that his sharp statements against the dictator Putin could lead to serious consequences. Staying in Russia, he risked being severely persecuted.

"He has such crystal and bold feelings, despite the fact that he was based on the First Channel, appeared in the Lights on all these channels. This man was filled with freedom, like air. And when this freedom began to be pumped out already on an industrial scale, his departure with his family was inevitable, " Rustam Solntsev said.

Pugacheva and Galkin went to Israel, where Galkin continues to actively express his anti-war position. He was not going to give in to the pressure of propaganda and actively uses his platform to fight the regime.

"And again, all these propagandist statements addressed to him: 'Ah, Max, you blew your happiness'... It was all in vain. Before them was a fully formed person - a very cool, freedom-loving, talented artist. First of all - a person, a father, a husband, " Solntsev continued.

The departure of Galkin and Pugacheva became a symbol of the struggle for freedom. They showed that true freedom of speech has no boundaries and cannot be manipulated.
