In her first open interview about emigration, Alla Pugachyova spoke in detail about the reasons for leaving Russia and her family life. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
She said that in the fall of 2022, after her husband Maksim Galkin was included in the list of foreign agents, she decided to emigrate. Because their children faced bullying at school, she was forced to move to Israel with her family.
At the time of departure, they had only 30 thousand dollars and no safety cushion prepared. Pugachyova emphasized that she left because her homeland betrayed her.
She stated that she loves her country, but was forced to leave only in the case of betrayal. She also said that her connection with millions of loyal fans has been preserved.
The singer explained that in September 2022 she herself requested to be included in the list of foreign agents and explained the reasons for this decision. After emigrating, Pugachyova made several secret visits to Moscow, which were related to family matters and creative work.
She considers her life with her husband Maksim Galkin to be true happiness. Pugachyova regards only two of her marriages as real: those with Maksim Galkin and Mikolas Orbakas.
She also described her marriage to Philipp Kirkorov as friendship and support. She recalled that the last request of Kirkorov’s mother held an important place in her life.
Speaking about her colleagues, she highly appreciated Nadezhda Kadisheva and Tatyana Bulanova for their courage on stage. About Shaman, she expressed that he is talented but lacks love in his songs.
When addressing director Nikita Mikhalkov, she said she doubted the sincerity of his words and wished him good health.
