“I do not help the Armed Forces of Ukraine … I do not want some rocket collected with my money to fall to Moscow and kill my son, for example.”
Andrey Makarevich, The legendary musician, the founder of the Time Machine Group, has been living in Israel for three years. In an interview with the program DW #VTRANDE On January 24, 2025, he openly spoke about life in a new place, the difficulties of emigration, his attitude to war in Ukraine and personal dilemmas.
These thoughts turned out to be a vivid reflection of difficult decisions that a person who was at the intersection of cultures and political conflicts has to make.
His life and actions reflect the image of those who are called “good Russians” in Ukraine: they condemn the Russian regime, support Ukraine, but … “do not go to the end.”
Moving to Israel: a difficult way of adaptation
In 2019, Makarevich and his wife Ainat Klein and his son Eitan moved to Israel. His choice was dictated by Jewish roots and disappointment in Russia. The family settled in the prestigious casearia.
“It is more expensive here than in Russia, significantly. There is not an easy life here, generally speaking. So if they were told about a beautiful, easy life in Israel, they were deceived. If their Jewish blood spoke in them, then this is repatriation. But then, damn it, do at least something to become a really citizen, and not just have a blue passport in your pocket. ”He said.
-Interestingly, the Israelis, who are not related to Russia, who were born or came from somewhere, where they did not relary to the post-Soviet space, do they understand the feeling of those who came from such a country as Russia? Are they good about you?
“Israeli society is very multi-layered … I don’t know what time of stay in the country you can feel as an old-timer … And assimilation occurs, as far as I see, for everyone, is very different. Someone immediately plunges into the Israeli environment, teaches the tongue, in a year he already speaks freely, and works and communicates.
And there are people who continue to live in their cap, watch Russian television, Vova Solovyov, drink vodka and longing … I really do not like it. I don’t understand what they arrived. ”
Language as the key to integration
The musician admits that adaptation requires effort, and tries to become a full -fledged citizen of Israel. However, the study of Hebrew was a difficult task.
“I am preparing a phrase in Hebrew, I’m going to the store, and they say to me in pure Russian:“ Hello, Andrey Vadimovich. ” And everything breaks up, ”he shared.
Despite the difficulties, Makarevich does not give up and continues to learn the language, realizing that this is a necessary step for integration.
War in Ukraine: support with reservations
Makarevich condemns the Russian war against Ukraine and provided humanitarian assistance to Ukrainians.
You, as far as I know, did not go to Ukraine.
“After the war began? No. Not because I am afraid, but because I do not feel such moral law. I am still Russian for them … I know that they treat me very well and know what I say. And I helped civilians repeatedly Ukrainian, when I had such an opportunity, and I help … But I understand that here is the country where I was born, it still hangs on my back. Therefore, it bothers me very much. ”
You help civilians, injured people, civilians. But many in the Russian opposition, among Putin’s opponents, they say that it is necessary to help the Armed Forces of Ukraine, because the Armed Forces are, in fact, the power that is fighting with Putin.
“Probably … I do not help the Armed Forces of Ukraine. It will be difficult for me to formulate this now. But … I do not want some rocket collected with my money to fall on Moscow and kill my son, for example. Generally a terrible situation. “
The son of Ivan became a rather successful actor in Russia. He starred in many films and TV shows, including in the sensational “Baby word. Blood on the asphalt. ”
Ivan Makarevich, the son of the legendary musician Andrei Makarevich, made a successful career in Russian cinema and continues to act actively, despite the political challenges and full -scale invasion of Russia into Ukraine.
Early successes
Ivan made his debut on the screen in 2005, playing the role of Kostya in the film “Battle with Shadow”What brought him the first popularity. In 2007, he played the role of Ivan Pushchin in the historical picture “18-14”. His work in the series deserves special attention “Ivan the Terrible” (2009), where he played the young king.
In 2010, Ivan again surprised the audience, playing the young Andrei Makarevich in the film “House of the Sun”. This role has become a kind of bridge between their generations.
Breakthrough roles
Ivan continued to gain recognition by participating in large projects:
- In 2012, he played the main role of Ivan Belov in the series “Brigade: Heir”the continuation of the cult Russian series.
- In the Katastrof film “Metro” (2013) He played the role of an assistant driver.

Career after 2022

These roles strengthened his position in Russian cinema, despite the political and moral complexity of participation in the Russian film industry against the backdrop of aggression against Ukraine.
Conclusion
Ivan Makarevich continues his acting career in Russia, which leaves an imprint on the perception of his father, Andrei Makarevich. Complex political realities and personal ties put the Makarevich family before the dilemma: how to remain faithful to their beliefs, maintaining contact with loved ones living in the country, which has become a source of aggression?
These words caused criticism, because the condemnation of a war without real actions is perceived as an half -hearted position.
Attitude to the Russian regime and the status of “Inoage”
Makarevich sharply criticizes the Putin regime and believes that the Russian authorities purposefully pursue those who do not agree with their politics. Having received the status of a “foreign agent”, he does not see a real threat in this, although he calls it an unpleasant formality.
“It is disgusting, of course, but I don’t think about it. Once a quarter I fill in some stupid papers, and that’s it, ”he said.
The musician also expressed hope for changes in Russia:
“A quarter of a century. Already good. Let’s see what will happen next. ”
Complex balance
Makarevich is trying to integrate into Israeli society, but retains strong ties with Russia, which complicates his position in the eyes of Ukrainians. His fear for his son and an attempt to preserve personal space are often perceived as a reluctance to make the final choice.
Conclusion: compromise or principle?
Makarevich was at a crossroads, where the desire to integrate into a new country is faced with a heavy load of the past and family obligations. His story is an example of how difficult it is for a person to be at the same time part of several worlds.
