According to Margarita, even before the start of the special military operation, the showman spoke unflatteringly regarding her family more than once, and he did this, it seems, only because of personal hostility. Now the time has come for Simonyan to express everything regarding Galkin that she thinks regarding him.
“He didn’t get me, oddly enough. Galkin, if you look, insulted my family many times. He publicly declared at his concerts regarding Tigran (Keosayan – approx. ed.). We have done nothing wrong to these people. At all! Tigran was familiar with them, I was not familiar. Tigran was madly worried regarding this. Well, how worried – was outraged. Naturally, I wanted to answer.
This was a few years before the SVO. I persuaded him not to answer, they say, these are some small spitting, slaps in the face, let’s be higher than this. None of us answered, although we might, really. Then I wake up in the morning, I look at the news feed. Everyone there is discussing Galkin’s statement regarding the country. I open this video. He says that Russia is lying <…>. I’m watching all this, I’m going on the air to Solovyov. I think: “Oh, you bastard!” recalled the 42-year-old journalist on the Manuchi Empathy show on YouTube.
