Ivan Urgant
Joint concerts of the showman with Vladimir Pozner were canceled. There are different versions of what happened on the web.
After Ivan Urgant condemned Russia’s actions in Ukraine in February last year, his career in his homeland was essentially put an end to. The showman was driven from Channel One and stopped being invited to corporate parties. To improve his financial situation, the ex-star of the “main button of the country” began to conduct foreign tours, following the example of Maxim Galkin (recognized as a foreign agent by the decision of the Ministry of Justice of the Russian Federation) and other disgraced stars. Only today, Ivan Andreevich, who announced the return, was overtaken by very unpleasant news.
On Saturday, January 25, a joint concert of Ivan Urgant and Vladimir Pozner was scheduled in Dubai (UAE). Today it became known that it has been cancelled. Thus, the former host of Evening Urgant did not find a place even in Dubai, where, it would seem, Russians of any political views are willingly accepted.
The network began to actively discuss what happened. According to the authors of the Antiglyanets Telegram channel, the evening, for which all tickets had already been sold, was canceled at the request of the speakers themselves – “no conspiracy theories.” At the same time, everyone who purchased tickets is already getting their money back. Meanwhile, the channel “Heroine Tatler” puts forward a much more curious version. According to her, it was not Urgant who insisted on the cancellation of the concert, but Pozner, who is still trying to sit on two chairs and continues to make money in Russia.
“It seems that Vladimir Pozner got hooked on treason completely. Due to the fear of “Ukrainian provocations”, he canceled two soldout concerts a few hours before the start. And to think in advance that provocations may be (or may not be at all) – did the outstanding intellectual of the era fail? Damn, grandpa, well, already 89 years on the nose, maybe it’s enough to be afraid of everything already? asks the Tatler Heroine.
