"Elderly and sick": the famous artist spoke about the one who left Russia Pugacheva

Actor Viktor Sukhorukov in an interview shared his memories of Alla Pugacheva, who left Russia. It turned out that the artist and the singer crossed paths back in their student days, as KP informs.

Many years ago, Alla Borisovna studied at the correspondence department of the Faculty of stage directors of GITIS, and Sukhorukov was also rehearsing a graduation performance there.

"I kicked her out of the audience: "Alla, I'm sorry, it's time." Then she was still a young Harlequin," he said.

At that time, the actor was very fond of Pugacheva's work and sincerely considered her a talented and even unique singer.

"And she remains a singer for me. But! in that life, in that country!", — added Sukhorukov.

But now, the actor is sure, everything is different, and Pugacheva is a completely different person.

"This is an elderly, sick woman, dissatisfied with something. She could be an academician here, could open schools, become the queen of the stage in Russia. But she made her choice...", he summed up.

EADaily also previously reported that Pugacheva's family had a diagnosis and difficulties with brain function.
