Loboda and Galkin performed Ukrainian songs in Dubai, surprising users

Svetlana Loboda and Maxim Galkin surprised the audience in Dubai by joining forces on stage to perform Ukrainian songs. Their duet sparked a strong reaction on social media.

Unexpected Performance

At a private party celebrating the birthday of Svetlana Loboda’s manager, something special happened. Loboda and Galkin performed Ukrainian hits “Tsey son” by Stepan Giga and “Smereka” by Lyubomir Yakim. This moment was a real surprise for the guests.

A video of their performance quickly spread online, eliciting admiration and amazement. Galkin adapted the lyrics of “Smereka” specifically for Loboda, and the singer, according to eyewitnesses, sang with special feeling.

Symbolism and Reaction

Significance of the Moment

The performance was not only a musical event but also a symbolic act. Galkin, a Russian artist who openly opposed the war, and Loboda, a Ukrainian singer often criticized for collaborating with the Russian show business, sang together in Ukrainian. For many, this became a gesture of reconciliation and support for Ukraine.

Discussion Online

Users are actively discussing the video, noting that the duet has become a symbol of a new era. “Strange, but touching. Galkin sings in Ukrainian. That’s cool!” they write in the comments.

Svetlana Loboda previously declared her support for Ukraine and her study of the Ukrainian language but found herself at the center of scandals due to performances with Russian artists. She now lives in Latvia.

Maxim Galkin, along with Alla Pugacheva, left Russia and moved to Israel, publicly condemning the war. His anti-war statements led to him being declared a “foreign agent.”

This duet in Dubai became not just a musical event but a symbol of change and hope for a better future.
