The TV show “Tonight” did not air for several months – TV presenter Maxim Galkin sharply spoke out against the Russian military special operation in Ukraine, condemned the actions of the Russian government and left the country with his wife Alla Pugacheva and children.

Although Pugacheva previously stated that they went on vacation to Israel, rumors surfaced online that they were looking for shelter and school for children in the country. After some time of unemployment, Galkin got a job there – he will go on a concert tour of Israel. Also, he and Alla Pugacheva were offered to host a local reality show called “Russian Ninja”, but it is still unknown whether they accepted this offer.

Nikolai Tsiskaridze and Maxim Galkin have a long-standing friendship – the dancer has repeatedly stated that Galkin supported her at a difficult time for herself in 2013. Then the persecution of Tsiskaridze began after he was expelled from the Bolshoi Theater, when Nikolai accused the leadership of a cultural institution of oppressing artists and committing numerous violations. Tsiskaridze himself was accused of attempting to assassinate Sergei Filin, the artistic director of the Bolshoi Theatre, due to a disagreement with the management. Maxim Galkin has not yet commented on the actor who will replace him in the TV show.
