Russian Actor Panin’s Controversial Confessions: Intimate Relationships, Support for Ukraine, and More

He noted that he has apologized to Maxim Galkin, as after the interview with Ksenia Sobchak, the audience might think that he had an intimate relationship with Maxim Galkin, Alla Pugacheva’s husband. In fact, as the actor said, he did not have sex with Galkin. “Everyone probably thinks now that I’ve had sex with Galkin,” said Panin, “no, we haven’t had sex with Galkin.”

But he had a sexual relationship with Putin supporter and singer Philip Kirkorov. Panin did not want to talk about it more, but his reaction shows that he is ashamed of it. “I’m fucking Philip Kirkorov,” Panin said clearly.

He also added that there is another person in Russian show business who belongs to the LGBT community. According to Panin, this is theater and film actor Viktor Sukhorukov.

In an interview with Ksenia Sobchak, Panin revealed that he wants to come to Ukraine, despite the fact that he has been banned from entering Ukraine since 2014. Then he supported the illegal annexation of Crimea and the occupation of Donetsk and Luhansk regions.

However, since 2022, he condemns Putin’s regime and supports Ukraine in the war.

“What does it mean that I am an unwanted person in Ukraine. It is a matter of principle. I am a terrorist in Russia, I have real concerns about what is happening in Ukraine. Either I am an enemy in Ukraine or Russia,” Panin told Sobchak in an interview, not hiding his support for Ukraine.
