The Federation Council, the upper house of the Moscow parliament, will consider a bill that proposes confiscating the property of stars and other citizens who have left the country, such as singer Alla Pugacheva, who was dubbed the “maiden” of Soviet music, Lenta reports.

The relevant draft law was submitted to the Moscow parliament by Crimean senator Serhiy Tsekov, a member of the United Russia party headed by President Vladimir Putin.

The Russian senator proposes to capitalize the assets seized by the courts, and to send the proceeds from them to the participants of the “special military operation” launched by Putin on February 24, saying that this will be a “lesson” for those who decided to leave Russia.

“These liberals and traitors must lose everything in Russia. All assets should be confiscated by the court and directed to help fighters in the area of ​​the special operation,” Tsekov said at the presentation of the bill.

The new regulatory act will be debated by the Russian parliament after last month a legislative project was submitted to the State Duma, the lower house of the legislative body in Moscow, to “disconnect from state funding those cultural figures who are anti-state.”

The initiator of the bill, deputy from the “Just Russia – For the Truth” party, Dmytro Gusev, said that the law will apply not only to directors, producers and artists, but also to civil servants.

Alla Pugacheva, the most famous Russian artist who condemned the war in Ukraine

Pugacheva, who left Russia shortly after the “special military operation” began, returned to the country in August, later saying she had no plans to emigrate and that her children would be educated in the Russian Federation.

But in mid-September, Russian authorities declared her husband Maksym Galkin 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.”

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 underlined in capital letters 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.

The “maiden” of Soviet music left Russia

On October 10, Pugacheva announced on her Instagram page that she had left Russia forever.

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 am happy,” she also wrote in a short post.

The oldest Russian newspaper “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.

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.
