Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Committee on Youth Policy Alexander Tolmachev (United Russia) believes that the concert escaped from The Russia of singer Alla Pugacheva in Moscow may become a precedent that cannot be allowed.

"In her desire to get money from the Russians, the former Prima Donna is not original. Many singers, musicians, comedians and other creative units who left Russia with the beginning of SMO now want to collect funds from fans for their luxurious life. It turned out that in the rest of the world they are not needed by anyone and their lot is performances in basement clubs, plus rare corporate parties," the portal quotes the deputy News.ru .

The parliamentarian opposes concerts, and therefore the earnings in the Russian Federation of those "who hate their country and their people."

"Many have stated that they have a new homeland — so let her feed them if she wants. Pugacheva's concerts may become a precedent that cannot be allowed. Because our people are quick—witted and will buy tickets, and then the singer will fly away and continue to throw mud at them in the banned Instagram* or send money to the enemies," the deputy concluded.

As EADaily reported, according to the Mash telegram channel, Pugacheva planned a week-long visit to Russia at the end of August. It was claimed that this was reported by producer Sergei Dvortsov, who spoke with people from the singer's entourage.

Allegedly, the diva will consider options for venues for a large solo concert in the future, and she will also try to influence the prospect of removing the status of a foreign agent from her husband Maxim Galkin **.

At the same time, the comedian himself called the news about Pugacheva's plans to come to Russia is fake.
