“Restoration of access to the feeder”: the reason for Maxim Galkin’s desire to withdraw the status of a foreign agent was revealed by Anatoly Wasserman 05.16.2023, 10:20

The showman and his family settled in Israel and now actively travel around the world with tours. However, Maxim Galkin (included in the list of persons acting as a foreign agent) he wants to get the opportunity to perform at home again. He decided to challenge the decision of the Ministry of Justice at the Zamoskvorecky Court in Moscow. The corresponding claim was filed by the artist’s representative.

Journalist and member of the State Duma Anatoly Wasserman named the reason that brought the comedian to court. “The position of a foreign agent is very difficult for everyone’s well-being. For example, they can now only be invited to various company parties in non-governmental organizations. They are now forced to pursue some other types of earnings with great caution. Accordingly, the cancellation of the status for such characters is the restoration of access to the feeder,” said Anatoly.

A participant in many intellectual games noted that this is not just a “state-owned feeder”. A number of large non-governmental organizations also refuse to cooperate with foreign agents. In reality, holders of this status are deprived of many earning opportunities. So Alla Pugacheva’s husband lost his job on television, lost advertising contracts and other commercial events.

At the same time, even the most self-contained and exhausting touring show does not bring the artist much income due to the costs of organization and hall rental. “For many artists, corporate events bring in far more income than a show whose income comes from the collection of tickets sold to the audience. They charge fees for corporate parties that are completely incomparable to shows,” Wasserman explained.

At the same time, the publicist advised Maxim and Zemfir (included in the list of persons acting as a foreign agent), who have already filed similar lawsuits, are under no special illusions. In his opinion, the court will take into account whether they have made political statements and whether they receive money from various foreign sources. All of these can lead to rejection. “However, I do not rule out that the court will assess the activity of, say, the same Ramazan, not a political one, and take away this status from her,” Vzglyad quotes a member of Co? Where? When?”.

Actress Victoria Tarasova also praised the comedian’s decision. The star of the TV series “Capercaillie” believes that the Primadonna’s husband wants to return to Russia with his family. “He wants to come back. But I think Maxim said too many nasty things. It seems to me that in his case it is simply a shame to return to his homeland. He won’t be admitted here anyway because too much has been said from the stage, incl. I personally saw video clips of his speeches, where he poured mud on our country, “quotes the actress MK.

At the same time, experts named another possible reason for such claims. Foreign agents are required by law to publish a detailed accounting statement of income and expenses every six months. However, none of them want to publish such information.
