Celebrities who have flown away from Russia are starting a new life abroad from scratch: their army of millions of fans has thinned out, tours are no longer scheduled for the year ahead, and fees have shrunk significantly. Many stars now have to change from business class to economy and puzzle over how to pay their bills.
For example, the actress and TV presenter Tatyana Lazareva (recognized as a foreign agent in Russia) has complained more than once in recent months: there is no work for her in Spain, prices are high, and even her bank account has been blocked. Like, a couple of years ago, she could not even imagine such a life: in Russia, the actress made good money, traveled a lot, provided her children with the best education … And indeed, as the KP.RU website found out, the fees of the departed artists at corporate parties in Russia reached fantastic amounts. We publish confidential data that is available only to producers, promoters and event organizers.
So, the foreign agent Lazareva received 12 thousand euros for conducting corporate parties (this is about 720 thousand rubles at the current exchange rate, before – more): the actress occupies the bottom line in our rating of fees.
Anna Sedokova and Ekaterina Varnava each earned 15 thousand euros at private events: the first one has now settled in America, the second promised to “lay low in Yerevan” (this is the name of the new show), but the other day she nevertheless “surfaced” in a fashionable Moscow cabaret with dance performance.
Fashion historian and host of the Fashion Sentence, Alexander Vasiliev, who moved to Paris, gave master classes with a price tag of 18 thousand euros. Singer Monetochka, who is now in Lithuania, could be invited to a private party for 20 thousand euros. Ingeborga Dapkunaite agreed to conduct corporate parties for 25 thousand euros; Ukrainian singer Maruv performed for a fee of 30 thousand.
Several stars cost the same at once: the Aquarium group took 35 thousand for a corporate party and Boris Grebenshchikovwho moved to London; Laima Vaikule, as well as Verka Serduchka and Ivan Dorn who spoke to the Russian public.
call Vera Brezhnev and Nargiz Zakirov could have been for 45 thousand euros; Ani Lorak and Alexandra Revva – for 50 thousand (this is the average price for show business, today – about 3 million rubles).
RBC news agency, 05/25/2022, “Singer Nargiz Zakirova banned from entering Russia for 50 years”: Singer Nargiz Zakirova was banned from entering Russia until 2072, migration lawyer, lawyer Zakirova Bakhrom Ismailov told RBC. He explained that on May 24, the artist flew to Moscow’s Domodedovo airport, but she was stopped at passport control and handed a notice of a ban on entry into Russia for 50 years.
Ismailov suggested that the ban was related to Zakirova’s posts on social networks, “where she spoke out in support of Ukraine.” “At the same time, she did not discredit the Russian Armed Forces, she described her emotional experiences as a creative person. As a result, she had a number of posts where she opposed, let’s say, Russia’s actions, while supporting Ukraine in every possible way, ”said the lawyer. Zakirova herself considers the ban “disproportionate to her act,” since it was her personal assessment of what was happening, Ismailov continued. […]
Nargiz Zakirova at the beginning of May 2072 will be 101 years old. In 1995, she emigrated with her parents from Uzbekistan to the United States, and in 2013 she took second place in the Russian television project Voice. Then she recorded pop music in Russia. The singer has American citizenship. In 2017, she was banned from entering Ukraine due to concerts in Crimea. — Inset K.ru
The Little Big group that flew to the USA received 60 thousand euros at corporate parties. The same amount was paid to the Ukrainian singer Max Barsky, who, after the February events, sent Russian-speaking fans to hell, but did not record new songs in his native language. As a result, Barskikh performs at concerts in support of Ukraine with old hits in Russian, running into harassment from compatriots.
solenka.info, 08/16/2022, “Producer Ginzburg said that Little Big is forced to perform in US bars for $500”: Producer Vladimir Ginzburg, in an exclusive interview with SOLENKA.INFO, said that the Little Big group is forced to perform in US bars for $500 and, apparently, in the near future, the members of this musical group should not count on impressive fees.
Ginzburg recalled that the artists of the Little Big group opposed Russia’s special operation to demilitarize and denazify Ukraine. After a public statement of their civil position, the team members left the Russian Federation and flew to the United States in search of a better life.
At the moment the group lives and works in Los Angeles, but the financial situation of the guys leaves much to be desired. The fact is that the work of Russian-speaking artists is currently not very popular in America. Even already scheduled Little Big concerts are being canceled en masse due to low demand. The team members will not be able to increase their income at home either. It is known that the previously announced tour of Little Big in Russia will not take place, as the Russians, outraged by the flight of artists, are boycotting the performances of this group. — Inset K.ru
Ivan Urgant, who was also recorded as a “defector” (they say he is preparing to leave either for Finland or for Israel), took 75 thousand euros for hosting events. However, the TV presenter is still in Russia, continues to earn money at private parties, so this price tag is still relevant.
80 thousand euros for a corporate party received Valeriy Meladze and Sofia Rotaru. The first one is now performing in Europe, but the “farmer woman” does not sing at all: in Ukraine it is forbidden to perform songs in Russian.
The middle of our rating closes Svetlana Loboda: she was paid 90 thousand euros. Now the “superstar” leads a completely different life: in an interview, she admitted that for the first time in her life she began to vacuum at home herself.
@nemalahov_slyvky, 08/21/2022 04:20 PM: Here Ksenia Sobchak just now undertook to discuss fees and riders of stars. We can not keep silent, having reliable information. […] You can buy Sobchak for 2 million – Box K.ru
@ksbchk, 20.08.2022 12:36: And as for the riders and the shape of “cubes” – anything can happen ?
. Here, Loboda, along with € 100,000 for a concert and a banquet, had to be provided with 10 PAIRS OF KAPRONO SOCKS. — Inset K.ru
Well, the heavyweights of show business did earn six-figure amounts in foreign currency. So, among the finalists were the Bi-2 group (100 thousand euros or 6 million rubles), Maksim Galkin (120 thousand euros or 7.2 million rubles) and Zemfira (200 thousand euros or 12 million rubles). And closes the rating Alla Pugacheva with a fee of 350 thousand euros (this is 21 million rubles), but this price is rather nominal: in recent years, persuading the Primadonna to sing at a corporate party was an almost impossible mission.
