Urgant commented with the words “impossible to understand” the proposal to recognize him as a foreign agent

TV presenter Ivan Urgant commented offer Deputy of the State Duma from “A Just Russia – For the Truth” Nikolai Novichkov to recognize him as a foreign agent. He said that the deputies can come up with anything and it is impossible to understand them.

“Today they wanted to recognize me as a foreign agent? The last year has taught us a lot, in particular, that it is impossible to imagine what some deputies will come up with. For me, this is a mystery that scientists will have to work on for a long time, because it is impossible to understand,” Mr. Urgant said in a conversation with NSN.

The TV presenter was also asked if the deputies could not be offended that he did not invite them to the Evening Urgant show. The showman said he “tried.”

Nikolai Novichkov believes that first Ivan Urgant should be declared a foreign agent, and then a criminal case should be opened against him. “I have contextual advertising with Urgant in Yandex. <...> Why is advertising from these people allowed? ”- the deputy was indignant.

In February 2022, Ivan Urgant spoke out against the Russian military operation in Ukraine. At the same time, the media wrote that he left Russia and quit Channel One. Later on the “First” denied this information. In May, information appeared about the closure of Evening Urgant, but this was also denied on the TV channel.
