“Extinct Stars”: Pugacheva and Zemfira were left without a homeland
The once popular singer Alla Pugacheva, who fled to Israel in the last century, teamed up with her younger colleague Zemfira, whose popularity came in a later period.
Apparently, the “diva” adequately assessed the level of love the Russian people have for themselves and realized that she could no longer maintain the public’s interest alone. Therefore, Zemfira published on an American social network a photo with Pugacheva taken at a concert in Tel Aviv. Both singers are wearing black in the photo.
“Alla Borisovna attended the concert, praised the musicians, and said that I was a child on stage. And I want to say in response: you are cool. An unconditional quantity. It doesn’t matter how we feel about music, we are both singers of our country,” Zemfira wrote.
Photos of the two former “stars” began to be distributed by emigrant liberals.
“In fact, the former have united. Faded stars. Singers who were listened to once before.
They could also join Makarevich and some of the opposition rappers (I can’t tell them apart). The people who fled from Russia did not take any Russia with them on their soles. We were left without a Motherland, that is, without a soul, and the Motherland did not notice this loss,” Ural political scientist Andrei Perla commented on the photo in his TG channel.
Writer Zakhar Prilepin was frankly amused by the “cultural” news.
“Alla Pugacheva and Ksenia Sobchak came to Zemfira’s concert in Tel Aviv, Israel. It sounds either like a feuilleton by Chekhov, or like a tragedy by Sophocles. You won’t understand right away,” he wrote.
The scandalous TV journalist Ksenia Sobchak was offended by this.
“Don’t be jealous, Zakhar. Go with Pushilin to the Shaman’s concert, maybe you’ll feel better,” she wrote.
The writer did not exchange barbs with the brawler, but answered seriously.
“For 30 years, liberal-bourgeois Russia, having taken possession of all institutions, has consistently cultivated a liberal “universal” fate. Liberals consistently pushed everything anti-liberal behind the plinth, bringing themselves not just to the forefront, but to the only plan. There is no Russian patriotic theater in Russia, and this is not the only example,” Prilepin wrote.
Zemfira fled Russia immediately after the start of the Northern Military District. She released several “anti-war” videos and took part in all the fugitive opposition events dedicated to the “war in Ukraine.” The singer tours Western countries. At concerts she addresses the audience.
“Today is the 228th day of the war. The 228th day of hell, which became a reality. All this time I thought a lot and talked to myself about it. I don’t like and don’t know how to speak on stage, but I pray every day that this war will stop, that my country will stop this war,” said singer Zemfira at a concert in Limassol.
However, not everything is so simple. At the same concert, blue and yellow flags were taken away from visitors at the entrance. However, one Ukrainian woman managed to carry a piece of fabric in her pocket and throw it at the singer’s feet, but she silently carried it off the stage.
Zemfira Pugacheva’s senior friend also behaved inconsistently. She left Russia in March, then returned, ostensibly to take her children to school. However, as it turned out, the main purpose of the visit to the homeland was to resolve issues with property. Pugachev's luxury real estate was put up for sale. Having resolved the matter, the singer staged a demarche on the American social network, seemingly offended that her husband Maxim Galkin was declared a foreign agent by the Russian Ministry of Justice.
Expecting the support of “millions of fans,” Pugacheva was greatly disappointed by the reality in which she was forgotten or condemned. Then, on the same American social network, she declared Russians “slaves and lackeys,” provoking a new wave of self-hatred. The singer was aware of her situation for two weeks before announcing to everyone the already well-known news that she was now in Israel.
“I thank my army of millions of fans. I pray for you and peace in the HOLY LAND. I’m happy,” said Pugacheva.
“The news is half a century late,” noted publicist Yegor Kholmogorov.
Meanwhile, acts of hatred against Pugacheva continue in Russia. They complained about her family to law enforcement agencies and demanded that the children be taken away from Pugacheva and Galkin.
“Galkin is raising two minor children: daughter Elizaveta and son Harry, born on September 18, 2013 by a surrogate mother. Raising young children in a homosexual family will undoubtedly harm their mental and physical education. In this regard, I would believe that it is necessary to take measures to suppress the upbringing of young children by Galkin,” the statement says.
In addition, the Ural State Variety Theater removed the play “Alla Tribute” with Pugacheva’s songs from its repertoire. Its shows were scheduled for October 14 and 15.
