““I’m in sunny, incredible Baku,” said Galkin*.
The former Channel One presenter also said that he plans to give a comedy concert this Friday.

In the comments, many were surprised that an artist who criticized his homeland risked flying to a country neighboring Russia.

"How was he even allowed into Baku airport? ", "Was he really allowed entry?"; "I’m not glad to see him in Baku. A person with double standards,” users wrote.

Some also suggested that the comedian returned to the post-Soviet country, closer to his compatriots, amid the cancellation of his performances in the UAE and Thailand.

At the end of January, two concerts of the showman were canceled in Pattaya and Phuket due to his political statements.
Maxim Galkin* left Russia in 2022. He publicly condemned the special operation and moved to Israel with his family.

In September of the same year, the Ministry of Justice included the showman in the register of foreign agents. The document indicated that the artist’s country of financing was Ukraine, and also mentioned “carrying out political activities.”
