Maxim Galkin's tour announcement in German cities has sparked negative reactions among German audiences. This was reported by Upl.uz.
Many believe that the artist's program is aimed only at Russian-speaking emigrants and Ukrainian refugees. Comments like “Your time has already passed.
Why do you need to come here?” are increasing on social media, expressing local discontent. Many think that in the current situation, while Germany is facing internal issues, such entertainment events are inappropriate.
The most criticized aspect is that concert tickets are purchased with funds provided to refugees by the government, which adds an extra burden to the country's budget for taxpayers. Additionally, Galkin's attempts to "assimilate" in the German environment are also being criticized.
Some users emphasize that knowing the language does not mean he is “one of us.” Maxim Galkin left Russia in February 2022 and has been actively touring abroad since then.
His performances often raise topics related to Russian politics, but to avoid legal issues, he prohibits any video recording at the concerts.
