Serial snitch denounces pop legend and Putin critic Alla Pugacheva, calls for criminal investigation
Vitaly Borodin, head of the Federal Security and Anti-Corruption Project and a serial denouncer of Russia’s key liberal public figures, has filed a new complaint with the Prosecutor General.
This time, Borodin is asking for a criminal investigation of Alla Pugacheva, the 73-year-old icon of Soviet-era pop and outspoken Putin critic now living in Israel. TASS reported on his complaint, citing a copy of Borodin’s letter to the Prosecutor General Igor Krasnov.
Who is Alla Pugacheva?
In his letter, Borodin accuses Pugacheva of criticizing the “special military operation” in Ukraine and encouraging other Putin critics. The vigilante also claims that the Federal Anti-Corruption Project was able to trace Pugacheva’s “foreign financing” and her “connections with foreign secret services.”
A day earlier, Borodin submitted a similar complaint about the 84-year-old film and theater star Liya Akhedzhakova, recently forced to retire from the stage in connection with her outspoken protest against the invasion of Ukraine.
Borodin’s complaint against Akhedzhakova recycled the same phrases he had used earlier this month when denouncing the rock singer Diana Arbenina.
