The Ukrainian comedian regretted filming in Russia after the annexation of Crimea

Ukrainian actor and showman Igor Lastochkin said he regrets that he did not give up filmmaking in Russia in 2014, after the annexation of Crimea. He said this on the air of the show Veterans of space wars.

As you know, in the period from 2014 to 2018, Lastochkin starred in the show Sometimes in Russia for the Russian channel TNT. He explained his position then by the fact that he considered the project the best in the entire post-Soviet space.

“At first, it seemed to me it was one of the best funny projects in the post-Soviet space. Honestly, I had hopes for this project that it would be something very cool. It started when 2014, but planned. Even earlier, “said the actress.

In addition, he named another reason to work in the Russian Federation.

“When it started, I owed the producer of this show for an apartment. It didn’t justify me. The debt was pretty big. A child was born, I bought an apartment, I had to fix it up. Now is is a war and people are dying.I tried to somehow influence these people, tell them what has been going on here since 2014. They listened to me carefully.I was not able to convince them.I decided to give the money this and don’t hang out there anymore. I have relatives there, but I cut the connection with everyone. Stupid people, they don’t want to think, “the comedian admits.

Recall that the Ukrainian director and producer, originally from Kyiv, Alexander Rodnyansky, who previously lived and worked in the Russian Federation, announced the shooting of a new series called The whole army of the Kremlin.
