Yuri Antonov surprised by the reaction to Pugacheva’s departure from Israel

“This is her personal story”

The Palestinian-Israeli conflict continues to gain momentum. The Israeli army is preparing for a ground operation in the Gaza Strip. The legendary singer Yuri Antonov is following developments in the Middle East. He believes that no one knows the origin of the conflict.

“This story is very tragic for both sides,” says Yuri Mikhailovich. – I follow developments: I watch programs on television, listen on the radio. And I understand: no one knows exactly the reason for what happened there. They only know that something terrible happened.

Yuri Mikhailovich is aware that Alla Pugacheva, following other people who emigrated from Russia, has already left Israel. MK correspondents asked the performer what he thought about this. But Antonov’s reaction was surprisingly calm.

“This is her personal story,” says the artist. – Why would I interfere in someone else’s life? She lives as she sees fit.

Yuri Mikhailovich himself did not even think about leaving Russia. Antonov has long been famous for his patriotic position. He spends all his free time at his country house. He has a huge area with a lot of living creatures.

“The best music for me is the singing of birds in the morning,” says the artist. – The number of animals I have is not decreasing. On the contrary, it increases. Now I have a lot of waterfowl: ducks, geese… They all make me happy!
