Escaped from Russian comedian and songwriter Semyon Slepakov** has found a replacement for Marina Kravets in a popular duet. A video of the comedian's performance with a new partner appeared on YouTube.
Now he performs the song "Husband-wife Conversation" (purely hypothetically) together with Belarusian vocalist Anna Shalyutina, who also lives in Israel.
Shalyutina herself posted joint photos with Slepakov ** on her Instagram page*.
"Tell me 5 years ago that for such a tandem you need to come to Israel...", she wrote.
The singer thanked her friends, in whose minds "there was only one option" when Slepakov * * asked if there was an artist who could cope.
As EADaily reported, the comedian was entered into the register of individuals — foreign agents of the Ministry of Justice on April 14 last year. The department explained that he received support from foreign sources, opposed the special operation, formed a negative attitude towards military service and public service in general, and spoke negatively about Russian citizens.
In May of this year Slepakov ** made another attempt to get rid of the foreign agent status. The Moscow court rejected the previous complaint against the decision of the Ministry of Justice in June last year.
In June of this year, the Tagansky court of Moscow fined Slepakov ** for violating the law on foreign agents by 30 thousand rubles.
Slepakov** filed a complaint with the Supreme Court in September 2024. However, the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation refused to transfer the complaint for consideration at a court hearing.
