Alla Pugacheva, 73, lives in Israel with her children and her husband. Foreign agent Maxim Galkin has a concert throughout the year: he withdraws dividends while there is interest in Russophobic jokes abroad. And the singer takes care of the house and children: she, as in her homeland, is helped by household staff.
Pugacheva’s Israeli home is located in Herzliya, 10 km from Tel Aviv. According to rumors, Galkin bought the house; it is not known who registered the property. Very close (15, 20 minutes by car) there are prestigious public and private schools. Nine-year-old twins Elizaveta and Harry Galkin in the Moscow region studied at a private school – the First Moscow Gymnasium (Odintsovo district, the village of Lipki). A year of education for a boy in a gymnasium cost the family 1,680,000 rubles. But in September 2022, after two weeks of study in the third grade, Pugacheva took the twins’ documents from the gymnasium, and they left for Israel on a private plane. There was no information from the family about where their children study.

But this topic is discussed on its pages on social networks, closed from prying eyes, by Israeli “instamoms” of Russian origin. We have reviewed your comments. What do they write? There are no Galkins at the Russian embassy school in Tel Aviv, according to the mothers of the children who study there. Russian-speaking mothers “found out” that Pugacheva’s children study at one of the most prestigious and expensive private schools in Israel. Although it is located in another city, it is only a 20-minute drive from Pugacheva’s house. This is an American international school, after which children receive a diploma that allows them to enter higher educational institutions in the United States and Europe. Education at school is carried out in English, with the study of Hebrew. This may be true: in the gym, Garik and Liza studied English; and with online tutors from Canada in the suburbs, Pugacheva’s children learned English. They also know French well from an early age. Citizens of the countries of the former USSR who live in Israel note that they had to change more than one school to find their own.” But when there is money, there are fewer problems with educational institutions. A year of study for a child at a school where Elizabeth and Harry Galkin allegedly study costs 96,000 shekels (2 million rubles). Some children who moved from Russia to Israel continue to receive remote education in their homeland in parallel, visiting it to take exams to receive a Russian certificate. Whether Pugacheva’s children continue to study in a Russian school is unknown.
