“Dear good! What a blessing to be hated by those people I always hated. If they liked me, it would mean that I sang and lived in vain. The reason is clear. Let them grind their teeth,” she wrote on her Instagram account.

“THEY WERE SERVANTS, THEY BECAME SLAVES,” she emphasized in all caps at the end of the message. It is unclear if her message was directed at anyone in particular, as she has come under attack from several Russian officials and entertainers after she condemned the war in Ukraine.

For example, Valery Fadeev, head of the Kremlin Human Rights Commission, noted in a post on the institution’s website that “these poets, harlequins and jugglers just need an opportunity to sing and dance, have fun and do vulgar and arrogant shit.” “.

One of the most famous songs of Alla Pugacheva, a true superstar of Russia, is called “Harlekino”.

Alla Pugacheva’s anti-war message

In late September, sources cited by several Russian newspapers said that Pugacheva, who had returned to Russia in August after traveling to Israel shortly after the February 24 “special forces operation” began, had left the country again.

In a post also on her Instagram page on September 18, she asked to be included in the list of foreign agents of the Moscow authorities as a sign of solidarity with her husband Maxim Galkin, a comedian who has repeatedly spoken out against the war with Ukraine.

The Ministry of Justice of Russia listed Galkin as a “foreign agent”, accusing him of political activity and receiving aid from a foreign source – Ukraine.

Also, Alla Pugacheva, in a post published last month on Instagram, asked to stop “the death of our boys with an illusory goal, which makes our country an outcast and burdens the lives of its citizens.”

“I ask you to enroll me in the ranks of foreign agents of my beloved country. I am in solidarity with my husband,” she emphasized.

With a career spanning more than half a century, the so-called “diva” or “queen of Russian pop” has been Russia’s biggest music star for more than 40 years.

The recipient of several Russian state awards, over the years she has released more than 500 songs in several languages ​​and more than 100 albums, which have sold more than 250 million copies.
