Galkin traveled to Indonesia because he had a show scheduled there. Two days earlier his work visa had been approved and all other documents relating to the intended performance were in order. When he landed at the airport, he was told at passport control that he had been denied entry to the country.
According to the entertainer, this decision was made because of a letter sent by Russian officials. “The reason was explained to me immediately and several border guards repeated it to me several times: a letter arrived from the Russian government asking me not to be admitted to the island of Bali. The letter was shown to me, but of course a copy was politely refused. All the officials, both border guards and people related to transport, expressed benevolent amazement, because they did not understand how I had earned the honor and personal attention of the Russian authorities,” Galkin recalled on social media average.
This is not the first time Russian officials have attempted to sabotage Galkin’s performances abroad. Just some time ago the entertainer wanted to perform in Thailand, but these shows were also cancelled. According to Alla Pugacheva’s husband, the Russian authorities at that time worked according to a different scheme, that is, they began to put pressure on the owners of the halls, who have strong ties with the Russian consulate and Russian tourism.
Galkin added that spectators will be refunded their ticket price for the show in Indonesia. However, the artist still does not understand why the local authorities behaved this way and followed the instructions of the Russian authorities.
