People's Artist of Russia Tatyana Vasilyeva said Maxim Galkin had long been negative towards Russia, but simply used the country for money. She called Alla Pugacheva a great actress, but a stupid person and noted that she personally would refuse to return to those who left Russia and now criticize the Motherland from abroad.

Earlier, foreign agent GALKin* appealed to the Zamoskvoretsky Court of Moscow with a lawsuit challenging the decision of the Ministry of Justice of Russia to include foreign agents in the register of individuals.
