Maxim Galkin*, after leaving Moscow, travels all over the world trying to earn a living. The artist supports his wife, pensioner Alla Pugacheva, and his twin children, Harry and Lisa. The comedian who left Russia now has to give twice as many concerts to get anywhere close to the income he had in his homeland. Therefore, he is rarely at home.
The comedian leads a nomadic life and wanders around hotels. However, this is not always the case. Maxim admitted that his close friend, 69-year-old Laima Vaikule, is always ready to welcome him to the Baltic countries. While touring Lithuania, Maxim moved into his house.
In conversation with local journalists, Galkin admitted that it is difficult for him to speak without knowing the language. He cannot attract an audience in Latvia without knowledge of Latvian. Furthermore, demand for his concerts abroad is falling. However, Maxim hopes to learn it with Vaikule’s help. To do this, Pugacheva’s husband moved into her house.
“Any language is difficult, it has its own culture, many words that are incomprehensible. Laima taught recently,” said the showman. – I had concerts in Lithuania and it was convenient for me to fly to Riga. I only live here with Laima. Alla came up with this so that I would be here under supervision.”
Internet users immediately joked about this: Alla Borisovna is taking a big risk by leaving her husband with a close friend. In their opinion, Maxim can switch to another pensioner and leave Pugacheva without a job.
By the way, the comedian’s foreign concerts were suddenly canceled more than once. For example, this happened with his concert in Estonia. The organizers announced the cancellation of the performance, which was to take place on September 15 in Tallinn. However, they did not give the reason for the cancellation. And in early September his concerts in Kazakhstan were canceled. This time, Galkin threw a tantrum on social media, saying that local authorities were preventing him from doing so.
