As reported by the Ukrainian publication Glavred, citing messages from Russian propagandists, an unknown artist Igor Nadzhiev claimed that Pugacheva is guilty of the death of popular Russian singer Igor Tal'kov.
As is known, the singer was shot dead during a concert. The perpetrator of the murder was found, while the mastermind remains unknown.
This unknown artist claimed that Pugacheva's intrigues allegedly caused a crisis in the musician's career shortly before his death in 1991.
Nadzhiev recounts that the roots of the conflict go back to the late 1980s when Tal'kov worked in Pugacheva's 'Song Theater' troupe. During one tour, Tal'kov's performance caused such enormous enthusiasm among the audience that they literally would not let him off the stage. 'The day after this triumph, Pugacheva's theater simply left, abandoning Igor. He was made to understand — get back to Moscow however you can,' the singer recalls.
Nadzhiev is convinced that Pugacheva's resentment and jealousy quickly grew into a deliberate destruction of Tal'kov's career — he was pushed out of television broadcasts and banned from performing in concert halls.
'I am still alive. Perhaps Alla Borisovna wanted me to be gone too, but I am alive. And Tal'kov is no longer here,' the artist harshly states, directly hinting that Pugacheva is guilty of the singer's murder.
