The performer announced this on her Instagram page, where she thanked her fans “for their love and support, for the ability to distinguish truth from lies.”
“I pray for you and peace in the Holy Land. I’m happy,” she wrote.

The oldest Russian daily “Izvestia” wrote on September 29 that Pugacheva flew to Israel from Vnukovo International Airport. The singer and her representatives did not want to comment on this information at the time.
Pugacheva, who left Russia shortly after the “special operation” began on February 24, returned to the country in August, later saying that she had no plans to emigrate and that her children would go to school in the Russian Federation.
But in mid-September, Russian authorities declared Maksym Galkin, her husband, a “foreign agent” after he repeatedly publicly spoke out against the war in Ukraine.
The singer then publicly demanded to be declared a foreign agent as well. “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.
Alla Pugacheva, in a post published on Instagram on September 18, also 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.”
Alla Pugacheva condemned the war in Ukraine
On October 4, she delivered another scathing address against the war, saying that people who criticize her for her stance on the war are “slaves”.
“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”.
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.
