Pugacheva and Galkin separate: A new twist in Russian showbiz

New rumors have emerged in Russian show business. 52-year-old showman Stas Baretsky has claimed that renowned singer Alla Pugacheva has separated from Maxim Galkin, and their relationship has long been merely formal. According to Baretsky, Pugacheva is planning to return to Russia.

"Alla no longer wants to see Maxim and wishes to devote herself exclusively to creativity, without any interest in politics," he stated.

Baretsky believes that Pugacheva’s return would bring fresh energy to Russian show business, which, according to him, has become rather dull without her.

Maxim Galkin is officially recognized as a foreign agent in Russia.
