Baretsky said that Alla Pugacheva and her husband Maxim Galkin (included in the list of persons acting as a foreign agent) needed money and therefore rushed to close the deal. According to Staš, negotiations between him and star emigrants took place in Israel and the Baltic states. The only thing that the cult singer did not like was that the castle would be turned into a crematorium.
“I said before that I would buy a castle,” Baretsky explained. “We were just negotiating, everything was serious, we were negotiating. And now the transaction has gone through, or rather I can talk about it calmly. Negotiations were difficult. Alla Borisovna was embarrassed by the question of whether the castle belonged to ritual business. What do we want from it? The largest crematorium in Russia, in Europe for sure, in the whole world. There will be a morgue, we will have certain zones, some ritual shops, warehouses.

The area of the castle is 2300 square meters. It is located on a plot of land of one hectare. The six-story castle has 20 rooms, a large swimming pool, a family theater with a stage and underground garages. In September of last year, Pugacheva put the castle up for sale and demanded 1 billion rubles for it. Baretsky assured that he bought the building together with his partners.
“Even when she announced it, I started thinking about the purchase. Because I like this place, overall the castle is good. They took it with their companions. I suggested, they liked the idea. Of course, I didn’t take this money out of my pocket. If you need an exact amount, then 450 million plus or minus, Stase is quoted by the “radio station” Moscow Speaks.
Three days ago it became clear that Pugačeva had sold the castle. This was announced by producer Sergey Dvortsov. However, he refused to reveal the name of the buyer.
Two years ago, Baretsky came up with the idea to create a cemetery for show business stars in the Moscow region. “We also want to make a concert venue there, no matter how ridiculous it may sound. I don’t see anything funny or cynical. There will be memorial evenings, maybe charity concerts, charity performances,” said the showman. He pointed to the support of cultural figures: Sergej Šnurov, Ivan Krasko, Alla Pugačeva’s concert director Elena Chupraková.
