Last year, Maxim Pokrovsky finally left for the United States, which he has called his second home for several years. Previously, they say, the musician was divided between New York, where he moved with his wife and children, and Moscow, where he was born and raised. At the same time, he was in no hurry to say goodbye to Russia: he traveled here on tour, performed at festivals and corporate parties; In a word, he won hard and hard for his American dream.
But since February 24 of last year, you can no longer sit on two chairs. Now the leader of Nogu Svelo is trying to make his own in the fashionable anti-Russian agenda: he records songs and videos about Nezalezhnaya, regularly participates in rallies and insults Russians. Pokrovsky now has a house, and this is a row house in New York, bought with a mortgage.
Meanwhile, in the Mitino district in the north-west of Moscow, the singer still has an apartment for which, it seems, he has not paid for a long time. So, according to KP.RU, in mid-February, the management company won a lawsuit against a famous debtor who paid less than 87 thousand rubles for a communal apartment – the bailiffs initiated the corresponding enforcement proceedings. In addition, Pokrovsky owes another 52,000 rubles in taxes, performance fees and other payments. The total amount of the musician’s debt is 139 thousand: with such figures, if he were in Russia, then traveling abroad would be impossible.
However, in the United States, the leader of the “Leg has cramped” is not going well either. On the mortgage, he must pay another 539 thousand dollars (this is about 41 million rubles at the current exchange rate). And besides, former colleagues demand money: allegedly, for many years Pokrovsky did not pay income to the owners of the group’s phonograms.
He owes me money from album sales. The ninth year is gone, he cannot return it, said one of the founders and former drummer of the Nogu Svelo group the other day. Anton Yakomulsky and turned to the former colleague. – You just dropped a small one. If I were you, I would shut up and never open my mouth again!
