A huge scandal broke out over a large portrait of Alla Pugacheva at the Moscow Variety Theater. Workers from the cultural institution decorated the lobby with an archive photograph of the singer.

Alla Pugacheva’s “appearance” at the Moscow Variety Theater caused a heated discussion. One of the spectators noticed that there was a large portrait of the Prima Donna hanging on the wall of the building’s lobby. She has performed at cultural institutions more than once.

The star’s fierce critics immediately began to be outraged: they say that the photo of the singer who fled from Russia does not have a place of honor. Her opponents, on the contrary, are confident that the face of Alla Borisovna rightly occupies a place next to truly respected cultural figures. In his opinion, no one can take away the star’s merits.

The theater’s press service was quick to reassure the public. “I do not understand at all why this caused such a discussion, a public protest. We have been working for a month after the reconstruction, absolutely all the popular artists of the USSR hang on our walls. Among them is Alla Borisovna, from Of course , why delete it? – Quotes from the paragraph Karina Zakharova.

Meanwhile, the institution’s artistic director, Gennady Khazanov, declined to comment on the scandal. The artist has been a friend of Pugacheva for many years and she has repeatedly highlighted her merits.

Recall that earlier Pugacheva’s portrait was removed from the lobby of the Oktyabrsky concert hall in St. Petersburg, where it hung for about 40 years. Alla Borisovna appeared more than once on the stage of the concert hall. From 1978 to 2008 she gave more than 20 concerts there. The singer noted that she considers this concert hall one of her favorites.
