The marriage of the two comedians is hotly debated in society. Petrosyan is 43 years older than his wife Tatyana Brukhunova, and Galkin is 27 years younger than Alla Pugacheva. The presenter of Panorama of Laughter defended the star emigrant last year. “We need to stop talking about comedians in a dismissive tone. You can’t say about everyone that they left and don’t worry about your country, that they are not good people, “Evgeny Vaganovich insisted.
However, the former host of “The Best!” he decided to mock Petrosyan. At his concert in the USA, he made disparaging remarks about the 77-year-old satirist, who remained living and working in Russia.
“It seems to me that if Dante Alighieri had written The Divine Comedy in our time and lived in Russia, then he would have added The Blue Light with Petrosyan to his traditional nine circles of hell, frankly,” Galkin said from the podium. – They tell me that he is an elderly man, he is forced to adapt to the authorities, he is afraid that his pension will be taken away. Oh, I’m about to cry… You know, they say that if a chicken’s head is cut off, it can run for another five minutes. If Petrosyan’s pension is taken away, he will rest in Dubai for the next 200 years!
In an effort to win over the American public, Maxim included humiliating statements for other Russian patriotic artists in his program. “They say, ‘Our time has come. Leps, Gazmanov, Babkina, Dolina are sitting … I’m not an ageist, I have nothing against it, but you understand, the average age is 70 years. Well, this is the “Sudoroga” team, “said the parodist.
The comedian also made a scathing comment on the singer Shaman. Galkin accused him of conjuncture and assured that if he sings “Let’s get up!” now, he will soon be singing “Sit down!” in The Hague.
However, the shaman responded condescendingly to Galkin’s words. “It only says that my work does not leave anyone in the world indifferent. And everyone reacts to it in their own way. Fanaticism, you know, is different, “explained the singer.
