“Lima taught me”: Maxim Galkin gave the first interview after leaving Russia 09/07/2023, 16:15

The parodist lives in Israel with his wife Alla Pugacheva, daughter Lisa and son Harry. Maxim Galkin (included in the list of persons acting as a foreign agent) he refused to give an interview for a year and a half. However, while his family lived in Jurmala, Laima Vaikule convinced the emigrant to speak to Latvian journalists. This interview was broadcast today.

The comedian is a trained linguist, so he knows different phrases from multiple languages. At the Vaikule “Rendezvous” festival in July, Maxim even sang a few lines of the hit song “Yellow Leaves” in Latvian with her. However, he admitted that he has difficulty with it.

“Any language is difficult, it has its own culture, a lot of incomprehensible words,” noted Galkin. – Lyme recently taught me. The Latvian language is so interesting, I know something, but every year I understand more and more.’

Former host of the program “The best of all!” exhibits in various countries. He assured that he tries to include a few phrases in the local language in every program to please the audience.

“I have a Lithuanian accent because I performed in Cesis, then in Palanga, and then I returned to Jurmala,” emphasized Maxim. – And I had to jump from Latvian to Lithuanian and then back. But nothing cool. Sung by Olga Raetskaya (famous Latvian singer, – Approx. ed.). Although, how can you get it wrong, it’s Lithuanian and then Latvian.

A Latvian journalist recently published a photo with Galkin and Pugacheva, encouraging the singer’s fans that she would also give an interview. However, it hasn’t come out yet. Last week, the star family returned from Latvia to Israel. Now Galkin is forced to memorize phrases in Hebrew in order to communicate with the locals.
