The American and world nobility have been striving more and more in Dubai to breathe the air of glamour, luxury and heavy luxury. The Russian stage is trying to keep up, no matter how inappropriate it may seem at the current moment in history.
And while Hollywood pop diva Beyoncé was giving a private concert at a trendy hotel, Ivan Urgant was entertaining guests at another Dubai hotel. Yes, yes, the host of “Evening Urgant” does not intend to lose her job. The showman still drives events. And not just as an entertainer, but as the host of the Evening Urgant. After all, it was in this state that Ivan became famous, in this state customers want to see him. Is “WU” not airing? No problem! The project was not closed.
Therefore, the creative organizers of the closed event, in which Urgant performed, built a makeshift traveling studio for the show. There, at the Burj Al Ara nautical hotel, Ivan interviewed another star guest of the event, Philip Kirkorov. Everything, as in Primero! But in the United Arab Emirates.
Do you know who you look like now? Urgant asked the singer. – When a madman came to see a psychotherapist.
On the couch with the King of Pop is a plump, rosy-cheeked man in a white shirt and tie. His birthday was celebrated. This is 31-year-old Mikhail Barakin, who positions himself as a billionaire and “big businessman.” However, in business circles there are doubts about the reputation of this person – there are many publications in the media in which he is referred to as “Petersburg Bender”. At one time, Barakin, the son of an employee of the public procurement department in Smolny, published the Governor’s Television magazine in St. Petersburg (they say he became editor-in-chief and co-owner at the age of 15), worked at Tatneft, then as an assistant to a deputy of the State Duma of the Russian Federation, he became a shareholder in several large companies (“Sovtransavto”, “Glavspetsstroy”, “Petrolium Invest”), donated millions of dollars to the Dagestan Zoo and traveled around the northern capital in a Rolls-Royce, accompanied by a car with the symbols of the Ministry of Emergency Situations with special signs. VGTRK journalist Eduard Petrov “caught” the 25-year-old oligarch as part of the “Clowns on the Roads” raid, then Mikhail did not have a driver’s license with him.

The businessman has known Kirkorov for only 1 year, as Philip himself admitted. They were seen together last year on SPIEF. There Kirkorov announced that he intended to build a shopping center in the Leningrad region for 1.5 billion rubles. A rich friend will help, only Michael.

In Dubai, the king of the pop scene has long praised Barakin, his family and children. And Ivan Urgant called his compatriot in a friendly way “Misha”. After all together they danced to Kirkorov’s hits: “My Only”, “Cruel Love” and others.
From the videos of the birthday of the “youngest oligarch of St. Petersburg”, which were broadcast on the network, it is clear that, in addition to Kirkorov, the musicians “Bi-2” Igor Nikolaev sang for the guests and he performed the magician Sergey Listopad. The fees of the artists, of course, were not disclosed, but earlier KP.RU reported that Ivan Urgant joyfully and enthusiastically leads parties for 4 million rubles.

Some naive viewers, having read the Telegram channels, decided that since Urgant is sitting in a chair opposite Kirkorov, “Evening Urgant” (50 times) returns to the air. Fuel was also added to the fire by blogger Valya Karnaval, who posted a photo of the show’s alleged guest room.

But not. And this is speculation. Valentina came to the Dreamallion lottery show, which is filmed at the VU studio. The episode has already aired on Channel One.
