Iconic Russian Singer Asks to be Named ‘Foreign Agent’ in Solidarity With Husband – The iconic Russian singer Alla Pugacheva, who has enjoyed huge popularity since the Soviet times, has expressed her desire to join her husband on Russia’s list of foreign agents.
The statement by Pugacheva on Instagram on Sunday is a notable slap from a prominent figure at Russian authorities, who have stifled dissent in recent years. Pugacheva’s husband, singer and TV presenter Maxim Galkin, who has criticized Russia’s sending troops into Ukraine, was added to the foreign agents register on Saturday by the justice ministry for allegedly conducting political activities on behalf of Ukraine and receiving Ukrainian funding.
