Okhlobystin addressed his godson Smolyaninov

After the start of the SVO, Russian actor Artur Smolyaninov (recognized by the Ministry of Justice of the Russian Federation as a foreign agent, included in the Rosfinmonitoring list of terrorists and extremists) sharply criticized the country’s position and left Moscow. Now the artist lives abroad, where he seeks to revive his career.

Smolyaninov’s godfather Ivan Okhlobystin announced on the air of the “Life and Fate” program that he was not going to renounce him. The man even blames himself for not having previously shown proper attention to Arthur, and also for not having time to instill patriotic sentiments in him. Okhlobystin expressed confidence that the opinion of his godson was shaped by the anti-Russian public, under whose influence he fell.

“Now he (Smolyaninov) understands that he did not want such words. He’s a fool. He needs to publicly retract his words. Let him return to his wife, he has children,” Okhlobystin said.

At the beginning of 2023, a scandal broke out on the Internet around Smolyaninov’s interview, in which he made several anti-Russian statements that caused a sharp reaction from his former colleagues, politicians and social network users.

Smolyaninov visited the progressive United States shortly after the start of Russia’s special military operation in Ukraine. Since then, yesterday’s fans of the artist have been trying to figure out how much money the disgraced celebrity lives abroad on.

The actor’s flight over the hill, which caused a lot of noise, continues to acquire piquant details. As you know, Smolyaninov, who imagined himself as an oppositionist, left not only his retired mother, but also two young children in his homeland. Smolyaninov’s ex-wife is raising the boys. Daria Melnikova suffered domestic violence for years, and now she is forced to pay the mortgage alone. Meanwhile, the artist who made his mark in the USA continues to throw mud at Russia. Having settled in Latvia, the star of “9th Company” now indignantly discusses all sorts of concerts and festivals taking place in Russia without his participation.
