Pugacheva yearns, Khamatova scandals: friends described the life of “stars” abroad

Alla Pugacheva left Russia twice: in February and September. Now the star, as you know, lives in Israel. The prima donna regularly posts on social networks, assuring that she feels good. However, in reality, things are different for Pugacheva. Alla’s former stylist George Rovals, who assures that he still keeps in touch with the singer, admitted to MK correspondents: in Israel, the singer is almost in a depressive state.

“Alla is worried that no one is interested in her life, does not ask how she is, where she is, what she is,” says Rovals. She’s panicking about it. Even colleagues do not call her. Kirkorov and other so-called stars used to kiss her in one place, but now they have turned away and are afraid to say a word about her.

In show business, they do not hide: few people communicate with Pugacheva now. Iosif Prigozhin, for example, admits that after her departure to Israel, he did not call Alla even once.

“We are not close friends,” Joseph explained. – We did not have such a thing during her active work, so that we often called up. We just crossed paths, met in different companies. But we were never friends. Why should she miss me or should I miss her? I miss my children, my family, my close friends.

Maxim Galkin (recognized as a foreign agent in the Russian Federation) periodically leaves the Diva. Alla Borisovna’s husband is trying with all his might to earn money, so he is forced to go to performances in other countries.

Alexey Seliverstov, a friend and neighbor of Maxim Galkin, the lead singer of the Revolvers group, told MK: he is upset by the comedian’s departure from Russia. Alexey lives ten minutes from the village of Gryaz.

“To be honest, I am very sorry to lose such a neighbor as Max,” Alexei admitted to our correspondents. “In the beginning, when I drove past the castle, I always took a picture of it and sent it to Max. Now I don’t do it. I’m sorry it happened. Maxim is a wonderful person. We met many years ago on the set of Yevgeny Petrosyan’s Smehopanorama program in Bryansk. Galkin is unusually erudite and very smart. I have always admired him. And his brother, by the way, was one of my producers, starred in our video “Kitten”. I have only the most pleasant impressions about their family.

Chulpan Khamatova settled in Latvia. The actress regularly takes the stage. Sometimes arranges poetry evenings. True, if Chulpan is good-natured and sweet on stage, then behind the scenes she turns into a completely different person. So, in the summer, she suddenly attacked a journalist from Russia who wanted to ask her a few questions. The actress, seeing the girl backstage, seemed to have broken loose. When she approached her for the second time, Khamatova became hysterical.

– I told you to leave! Are you not clear? shouted Khamatova and demanded that the girl move five meters away from her.

Chulpan’s nervous breakdowns can be explained. In conversations with friends, the actress complains that she does not have such fees that were in Russia in Latvia. Therefore, Khamatova is forced every day to think about how not to be left without a piece of bread. Now Chulpan agrees to any job. Recently, for example, she starred in a new video for the Nogu Svelo group. Together with another emigrant – actor Artur Smolyaninov – Chulpan played a married couple, whose son was mobilized and died in the SVO. In one of the scenes, Khamatova had to be completely naked.

Smolyaninov, having left Russia, planned to settle in the United States. But he stopped at Riga. Recently, he participated in gatherings, where he sang the famous “Dark Night”. With new words, almost every sentence contains criticism of Russia.

– Dark night,

About which Bernes would not sing,

After all, he was a Ukrainian Jew,

His homeland is Nizhyn, – Arthur sang.

By the way, Smolyaninov is also having a hard time with earnings in Latvia. But in Russia he left his ex-wife, actress Daria Melnikova, and two sons: 7-year-old Arthur and 4-year-old Mark. Apparently, Dasha will have to feed them now. Natalya Senchukova, by the way, recently condemned Arthur, calling his behavior disgusting and vile.

“Unwanted performer” Max Pokrovsky, in whose video Smolyaninov and Khamatova starred, also left Russia. He now lives in the USA – he managed to get a Green Card with the status of a “unique creative person.”

Pokrovsky settled in New York, in the not very prosperous Bushwick area. I sent my 16-year-old daughter to a local school. Pokrovsky says she is the only white girl in her class. At school, Pokrovsky’s daughter has a hard time. Classmates inspire her that “whites” should be slaves and work on plantations.

Pokrovsky does not hide: it is difficult for his daughter to get used to the realities of life, but, according to Maxim, she is holding on. And Pokrovsky himself recently almost ended up in a local prison. After a showdown with neighbors, he was taken to a criminal court. The musician immediately hired a lawyer who made every effort to ensure that the leader of the Leg was released.

In the same place, in the USA, the soloists of the Little Big group Ilya Prusikin and Sofya Tayurskaya settled. Prusikin had repeatedly complained that he had lost everything: big fees, work and a comfortable life. In the US, artists have not yet found themselves. Now they are looking for a promoter to help them organize corporate events. By the way, Prusikin and Tayurskaya ask a lot – one hundred thousand dollars for each performance. For such money they do not want to order.

Although, purely theoretically, the soloists of “Little Big” could work in America every day – in local restaurants for Russians. At one time, Mikhail Shufutinsky and Lyubov Uspenskaya did this in order to earn at least some penny. In Soviet times, Olga Zarubina also emigrated to the United States, who also had a hard time in America.

“It will be much easier for today’s emigrants: they grabbed a lot of money in Russia and left with them,” the performer of the hit “Music plays on the ship” believes. – And I, like other Soviet people, left without money at all. I didn’t even have housing in America for the first time: I had to look for it. Plus, there are problems with the language, without knowing English it is impossible to find a good job there. It was very hard for me!

A completely different mentality, as if I had landed on another planet. Every day I tried to watch more TV and listen to the radio. I took information through my ears and after about a year I began to understand what they were saying. English in America, by the way, is very different from the language in England. In the USA they speak quickly, the pronunciation of words is incomprehensible. By the way, I do not think that all the departed stars will remain abroad forever. I think they’ll all be back when things settle down. They will continue the same way here, in Russia, as if nothing had happened.

Prusikin does not hide that he still hopes to return to Russia. He left a house here in the elite district of the Leningrad region. Ilya is in no hurry to sell it. Also in Russia, Prusikin left a sports Porsche Cayenne. Its price is 15 million rubles.

TV presenter Tatyana Lazareva, recognized as a foreign agent, lives in Spain. She has no job. Tatyana does not hide: she is tired of idleness. Lazareva occupies herself with conversations on social networks: she regularly records videos in which she sometimes cries with burning tears. True, subscribers do not appreciate her emotional outbursts, especially since Lazareva, after the start of SVO, collaborated with Zelensky’s Kvartal 95, recording frankly trash sketches.

Tatyana recently mastered live broadcasts. Lazareva now plans to communicate regularly with subscribers and answer all their questions.

“I won’t say that I have a lot of strength,” says the actress. “But as it turns out, I can’t do anything at all. It makes me feel even worse.

Lazareva bought a microphone and good lighting fixtures to look more impressive in the frame. By the way, she admitted that she is still not divorced from her husband Mikhail Shats (recognized in Russia as a foreign agent). True, the spouses do not communicate.

Mikhail, unlike Tatyana, emigrated to Israel. He regularly goes to parties organized by emigrants there. Recently, for example, he was noticed in the company of Semyon Slepakov and Alla Pugacheva. True, Schatz assures: he does not lead a close friendship with the Primadonna, since he is with her in “different teams.”

Mikhail also does not hide the fact that he wants to return to Russia. Recently, he admitted that he would dream of celebrating the New Year somewhere near St. Petersburg. But, apparently, not fate. The court dismissed his claim demanding to remove the status of a foreign agent.

Tried to challenge the status of “foreign agent” Andrei Makarevich, who now lives in Israel. The leader of the “Time Machine” made it clear that he was experiencing serious financial difficulties. Recently, to make ends meet, he decided to sell his paintings and drawings. Makarevich’s works are posted on one of the Israeli sites. Canvases autographed by the musician can be delivered anywhere in the world. True, there are almost no people who want to get Makarevich’s work even for 15-17,000 rubles.

Next year, Makarevich plans to go to the USA – he has several concerts scheduled there. Andrei does not count on large venues: he will perform in small halls. But even in them full houses are not expected. The organizers say that tickets for Makarevich are bought weakly. Pugacheva could help with the full house, but she does not want to perform with Time Machine in America, although she meets Andrei regularly in Tel Aviv.

Semyon Slepakov also settled in Israel. In Russia, for each stage appearance, he asked for 3 to 5 million rubles. No one offers him such fees in the Promised Land. Therefore, he is ready to play for two million.

It is not against Slepakov to go on tour to Kazakhstan, Armenia, Uzbekistan and other countries of the former USSR. But for this he needs business class tickets, as well as an executive car upon arrival. He asks for Slepakov and a Russian-speaking driver – apparently in order to discuss the latest news from Russia.

And the news for Slepakov, to put it mildly, is not very joyful. In Russia, he owed the state almost 19 million rubles. 15.3 million – taxes and 3.6 million – accrued penalties. Why Slepakov will pay is still unclear. He has almost no concerts.

Alisher Valeev, better known as Morgenstern (recognized as a foreign agent in the Russian Federation), emigrated to Dubai. At the same time, they gossip in the party that he applied for Israeli citizenship – Morgen himself has not yet commented on these rumors. Abroad Morgenstern did not leave alone, his cousin – the star of “House-2” Maxim Morgenstern settled in Turkey. Apparently, he is in no hurry to return to Russia.

Vera Brezhneva has been trying not to cover her life in recent months. If earlier she regularly posted posts on social networks, now she does this extremely rarely. Last week, the star took to the stage for the first time – she performed in Riga. Vera sang live: frankly, it doesn’t matter, sometimes she didn’t even hit the notes. Perhaps due to nervous experiences.

“It was very exciting to start after a break of more than nine months,” Vera said. “But I’m glad it happened. So many feelings and emotions!

Where Vera will continue to perform is unclear. In Russia, even in the best years, she did not collect halls.

Svetlana Loboda visited Israel – she prayed during the day, and performed in a small club in the evening. Then she went to Germany, where she gave two concerts.

“Unfortunately, now is not such a simple time for all of us and all over the world,” Svetlana said from the stage. We have come to some point of no return.

At concerts, Loboda wraps himself in the Ukrainian flag, but continues to sing in Russian. The other day she even presented a new song – also in Russian.

But with Russian friends, Sveta is different. Now, in messengers, she communicates with them exclusively in Ukrainian.

“I wrote her words of support after she posted a video of sobbing,” a friend of the singer told MK. She used to answer right away. This time a week later, but in Ukrainian. I don’t understand this language. Another time she wrote herself, also in Ukrainian. I didn’t answer. I asked mutual friends: they say that the situation is the same with them. Many stopped talking to her because of this.

Previously, the singer had a tradition: she made generous New Year’s gifts to all her friends in Russia. This year, none of Loboda’s Russian friends received anything. They say that Sveta has no money for presents.

“The fate of Loboda is unenviable,” said the famous concert producer Sergey Lavrov. Soon everyone will forget her. I think soon she will only sing in inexpensive American restaurants. This fate awaits all departed stars.
