Maxim Galkin supported the Ukrainians and caused delight in the audience, but the Russians were outraged.

Maxim Galkin surprised everyone with his performance of a Ukrainian song at a festival in Jurmala. This Russian comedian has long condemned Russia's invasion of Ukraine and showed his support for Ukrainians by calmly performing the song “Smereka”.

Galkin's performance delighted the audience, who actively applauded, sang along and even danced during the performance. This happened at Laima Vaikule's festival “Rendezvous”.

Maxim Galkin, known as a Russian and Israeli artist, comedian and showman, spoke out against Russia's invasion of Ukraine back in early 2022. He later left for Israel with his family. In September of that year, he was included in the list of “foreign agents.” Recently, information has emerged about a fine of 1 million that he received in the Emirates for anti-Russian statements.
