Prigogine complained about a decrease in income, Shnurov generously promised to send him sausages. While they were arguing, Natalya Senchukova and Viktor Rybin are trying to make money on online concerts. Lists of stars who have applied for a minimum wage from the state are circulating on the Internet. Is the plight of creative people really as bad as they try to show it?

The history and active development of Russian journalism is largely due to the desire of publicists of those years to prove the righteousness and utopianism of the authorities, while the latter, in every possible way, prevented such freethinking and mercilessly covered such publications. It is not uncommon for a publication to be registered literally for the sake of one split of an article; in response, another organ was created in order to answer the first article. If Belinsky, Herzen and Chernyshevsky owned at least a small fraction of the capabilities of modern instagram, then the descendants would have had much wider literary wealth and works. This means that contemporaries use social networks as a much faster and more convenient way to be heard. And the controversies arising within the framework of Instagram or Facebook no longer surprise anyone. In addition, the general public has never before been able to join the discussion and express its point of view, giving the problem an untold versatility.

What Prigozhin did not share with Shnurov, and why did the second promise to send the sausages to the first?

No, it's not even worth comparing literary critics and publicists who stood at the dawn of journalism with modern opponents at all, but the problems they raise are largely similar. All the same eternal "Who is to blame?", "What to do" and "Who lives well in Russia?" The protracted pandemic demonstrated in the most colorful way who is worth what in reality, and while doctors work seven days a week, the teachers only exhaled after the remote end of the school year, the workers did not leave the factories, the stars amused all of the above challenges, funny videos filmed in their luxurious apartments. Then it seemed like some kind of funny quest. However, time passed, and mass events were still banned, besides, it is not known when everything will return to normal and the celebrities began to fuss. Neither challenges, nor Instagram likes, nor HYIP amuse you.

Who would have thought that it all started with the simple-minded Tarzan, in ordinary life Sergei Glushko, he is also the husband of Natasha Koroleva, and also a professional stripper. It was he who announced live on his account that most of the artists were left without a livelihood and their situation was dire. Everything would be on Tarzan's page and ended with jokes at the level of "go to work in a taxi" and "take up farming" if Joseph Prigogine did not support Sergei's point of view. Joseph Prigogine, producer, who is also the husband of singer Valeria, complained that many artists during the coronavirus pandemic found themselves not only in distress, but in a "monstrous" situation, and as always, you will not get help from fans. It is a mystery what Prigozhin meant by help and whether those "fans" should have thrown off Joseph and Valeria for rest and dinner in an elite restaurant, but Sergei Shnurov was suddenly offended for the fans. He, as usual, wrote a caustic verse, and at the end promised to send the producer sausages.

Joseph replied to Shnurov with verses, at the end with prose, specifying that his words were spoken in support of thousands of creative people who found themselves in distress throughout the country and reproached Shnurov with affection for the "deputy trough". True, swearing in verse, and with obscene language with Shnurov, is a disastrous business, here he simply has no equal. So they would correspond, threatening each other, but other representatives of show business also intervened in the matter. Opinions were divided. If Prigogine was supported not only by Valeria, but also by Alsou, Anita Tsoi and Yulia Kovalchuk, then Shnurov's opinion was shared by a much wider audience. Yuri Loza, Grigory Leps said that they are "eating up stocks" and urged the rest of the artists not to whine, because everyone has savings. Lev Leshchenko frankly stated that while he feeds his team from his own pocket and feels his responsibility for them.

It's funny, but many of the artists to whom Prigozhin refers, allegedly giving up responsibility, openly say that everything is in order with them. Cat trainer Yuri Kuklachev, in response to the mention of circus artists among the poor, clarified that everything is in order for him, "it is much more difficult for hundreds of thousands of people now," he said, urging artists who are accustomed to "grab millions" to "cut off their fat" …

How life works and what do the stars, complaining about the crisis, own?

After such complaints, fans began to especially closely follow the social networks of the same Tarzan and the Queen, noting in between times that the couple was certainly not in poverty. Natalia and her husband live in a country house in Krekshino, this property went to the singer after her divorce from Igor Nikolev. However, the spouses have an apartment in the capital on Novy Arbat, and while on vacation in Miami they stay in the apartment of Natalia's mother, Lyudmila Poryvai, who owns several apartments in Miami and rents them out.

Tarzan has his own fitness club, which, in fact, closed during the pandemic and does not generate income. However, while her husband is at war with haters on the Internet and is fighting off attacks, Natasha nicely tells subscribers about how she sets the table for her family. The menu includes oysters with king prawns and other marine life.

After the scandal unfolded, a photo of Joseph Prigogine in a black Rolls-Royce literally scattered across the Internet. In addition to an expensive car, the couple has several country houses abroad, for example, in Switzerland and the United Arab Emirates. They themselves live in an apartment on the Krylatsky Hills. There is only everything you need: a library, a living room, rooms for children, a dressing room, a bedroom, a dining room, an office and design from an English luxury designer.

Who is really in distress and how to get out

While the rest of the artists zealously find out who is to blame and what to do, Natalia Senchukova and Viktor Rybin are trying to solve the financial problem as best they can. Even before the start of self-isolation, they said that their financial situation was difficult after they unsuccessfully invested their savings in the construction of a sports complex in Dolgoprudny. But the investment was not just a losing one, the partners turned out to be dishonest and the artists lost money. The singer was already ready to part with his favorite motor ship (they have a shipping business), but the ship has not yet found a buyer.

The already difficult state of affairs worsened after the introduction of quarantine, then Rybin admitted that he simply did not know what to do next. The fans looked at all this differently after the couple decided to arrange an online concert on their instagram, modestly indicating the card number for "tickets and flowers", although watching the video was free. If it had not been for the previous scandal started by Tarzan, it is possible that the concert of Senchukova and Rybin passed with a different mood, but as a result they got it too.

But not all stars are ready to go singing in the transition, even if in such an online mode. For some, the pandemic has become an excuse to promote their business and try to make money, albeit not with their own talent. The Little Big group has launched the production of masks for coronavirus, although the small print on the product indicates that the mask is a souvenir and does not protect against viruses and cannot be used for medical purposes. Anastasia Reshetova began selling an antiseptic in her salon, and at an inflated price. Anna Sedakova also tried to launch her own line of masks, but the products are not popular. Apparently the reason for this is the high price, almost all such "branded" masks are sold from a thousand rubles and more.

Stars who have lost their jobs will also receive minimum wages from the state

After the noise around Prigozhin and the replication of his photographs on a luxury car, lists of artists appeared on the Internet who allegedly asked the state for minimum wage payments, which is just over 12 thousand rubles. This gave rise to a new wave of resentment, but in reality everything is a little different. The state promised to provide a subsidy for the minimum wage for each registered employee, for this three conditions must be met - the organization must relate to the affected industry (there is a list), all taxes must be paid and staff retained. Most of the stars are decorated as individual entrepreneurs and they have their own team, usually 15 people or a little more, it is on them that the minimum wage is paid. Therefore, it is not worth talking about the fact that the stars again think only about their financial well-being. Philip Kirkorov, Nikolai Baskov, Valeria and other stars have already applied for a subsidy and are waiting for the results. By the way, Sergei Shnurov also has the right to a subsidy, but did not submit documents for its registration. Not yet submitted. It turned out that on the list of priorities, the desire to have fun is much lower than other requirements, it is not surprising that all kinds of videos and online concerts of stars are unlikely to cover their usual expenses. By “voting with the ruble,” the average person essentially decides who and how much to be famous and rich, while the pandemic only clearly demonstrated the real priorities, pointing out what is really important. However, the stars have some alternate airfields and plans that are ready to be implemented if the situation worsens. 10 celebrities who have suffered serious financial losses due to the pandemic worry not only about money.
