MOSCOW, October 2. Actor and TV presenter Ivan Urgant posted a post on his Telegram channel in which he responded to the recent announcement of his performance with journalist Vladimir Pozner in Dubai.
The description of the poster says that: “Ivan Urgant and Vladimir Pozner represent the modern intellectual elite of Russia.” According to the presenter, in his work with the famous journalist, the roles are arranged differently.
«»Many people are wondering if we have anything to do with writing such texts? I answer — the most direct! Historically, in our duet Posner symbolizes the elite, and I symbolize Russia. By tradition, we’ll start with an interview. Then our favorite part is the answers for denunciations! Come,» Urgant wrote.
The presenter attached to the text an image of a poster that had previously appeared on the Internet.
It depicts Urgant and Posner, and also indicates the location, date of the event — October 29, and the name of the event «Travel of Urgant and Posner», as well as the program on Channel One. The show was aired from 2008 to 2011 and was dedicated to the culture of different countries.
In the winter of this year, the host of “Evening Year” announced that his and Posner’s performances in Cyprus and Dubai, scheduled for the end of February, were postponed to the fall.
Whether the current poster has anything to do with them, the showman did not specify.
After the start of the special operation, Ivan Urgant spoke ambiguously about its conduct, after which he disappeared from the public space, and his show “Evening Urgant” disappeared from the air network of Channel One.
It was reported that the actor left for Israel. As he later admitted, it was a sabbatical.
Now the showman does not appear on Russian television screens. Urgant periodically hosts weddings and other events.
After the start of the SVO, Posner stopped appearing in public space.
