One of Russia’s most famous singers, Alla Pugacheva, has come out swinging against the war in Ukraine in her first public comments against Vladimir Putin, calling out the “death of our boys for illusory goals.” Last week, the pop icon’s husband, Maxim Galkin, was labeled a “foreign agent” by the Kremlin for opposing the war.
In an Instagram post to her 3.4 million followers, Pugacheva urged the Russian Ministry of Justice: “Please include me in the ranks of foreign agents of my beloved country, since I am in solidarity with my husband.” She described Galkin as “an honest, decent and sincere man, a true and incorruptible patriot of Russia who wants his Homeland to flourish in peace, with freedom of speech.
