“I know that there is another slander against me at the prosecutor’s office: some supporters are demanding that I be recognized as a foreign agent. I also found a criminal. And after all, all sorts of people continue to report on me in all sorts of cases. So my lawyer told me to tape my mouth,” said the artist.
Some stars of the theater and cinema came to the defense of Leah Akhedžak. They asked to leave the elderly man alone.

“I don’t know what drives Achezhakov, but she crossed all the lines.” And now it is necessary to raise the question of starting criminal proceedings against her, because Liya Akhedzhakova is a real traitor to Russia, ”said the activist on his page on social networks.
