Notable quotes

“Please include me on the list of foreign agents of my dear country, as I agree with my husband, an honest, decent and genuine man, a real patriot of Russia who cannot be bought, who wishes prosperity, peaceful life, freedom of speech to his Homeland and who wants our boys to stop dying for illusory goals that make our country a pariah and that make the lives of our citizens harder.”
— Said during the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, quoted in "Famous Russian singer Alla Pugacheva asks to include her on ‘foreign agent’ list alongside her husband, TV presenter Maxim Galkin", Novya Gazeta, 18 September 2022
