“Chulpan Khamatova doesn’t know why it’s bad here”: Sergey Polunin spoke critically about the emigrant 16.02.2023, 11:15

The dancer does not hide his sympathy for Russian President Vladimir Putin and considers himself a patriot. He is dismissive of those artists who left the country after the start of the special operation.

According to Sergey, such people actually have no validity, no point of view. “For example, Chulpan Khamatova doesn’t know why it’s bad here. He can’t tell. And what is bad? For the foundation? To the theater or the cinema? Well, what’s wrong? People cannot formulate an idea, there is no guarantee that they are right. Not everyone stands firmly on their own two feet, ”said Polunin on the program Frankly with Tatarka on YouTube.

The “Doctor Lisa” star immigrated to Latvia in February last year and then moved to the United States. There the actress performs the musical and poetic performance “Orpheus”.

Khamatova recently spoke about the dismissal of Leah Akhedzhakova from Sovremennik. The “Office Romance” star has been stripped of all theater roles. Chulpan stood up for his colleague. She said that this news left her speechless, because in her opinion Liya Medzhidovna is the best that was in Sovremennik.

Polunina is supported in her views by the chosen one, figure skater Elena Ilyinykh. The lovers are raising two children – three-year-old Miro and Dara, who was born last spring. The older child shows interest in his father’s profession. Sergei does not interfere in this hobby.

“My son loves to dance. Absolutely free, do whatever you want. I don’t interfere with him as much as possible in this process. He is a free man. In Russia, I got love, family and the opportunity to be at peace with myself, “said the dancer.

Last year, the former premier of the Royal Ballet in London was at the center of a scandal. The artist performed his program in Tashkent at the invitation of the staff of the country’s Cultural Initiatives Fund. Local organizers, however, announced a demarche to Polunin.
