Comedian Maxim Galkin (listed as a foreign agent by the Russian Ministry of Justice) and his wife Alla Pugacheva are leaving for the United States, the SHOT Telegram channel reports. According to it, the comedian has removed Israel from his tour.
The Mash Telegram channel reported earlier that Galkin had banned Russians from recording his performances on camera and voice recorder during his tour of the United States and Canada. According to the channel, enhanced security will be in place to ensure compliance with the rule. According to preliminary information, this decision was made after a scandal at Galkin’s concert in Dubai.
Producer and music critic Pavel Rudchenko explained in a conversation with NEWS.ru that the comedian may once again try to challenge his status as a foreign agent. The expert emphasized that the recordings that ended up on the Internet could have caused a public outcry . He admitted that Galkin is trying to shield himself from the negativity that he pours out during his performances. In his opinion, the comedian wants the information not to go beyond the concert halls.
