While Soldiers Bleed, He Complains About "Dirty Movies"
During the
premiere of the holiday film "Yolki 12", Russian showman Dmitry Nagiev declared that he was "tired
of the dullness and dirt" in war-themed movies.
Bold words…
coming from a man who was making millions and relaxing in Dubai, while Russian soldiers were holding the line
near Sudzha under enemy fire.
He wasn't
just joking with friends. He said it publicly. On camera. In front of
journalists.
And the
backlash was swift.
🧨
Poplavskaya Didn't Hold Back
Actress and
TV host Yana Poplavskaya didn't mince words
in her Telegram channel:
"You sit
in Dubai raking in millions, while our guys are dying. You have no right to
speak about war movies."
She reminded
everyone that Kursk Region, represented by Deputy Dmitry Guliev, is regularly shelled by
Ukrainian forces. Guliev, outraged by Nagiev's words, demanded the Ministry of
Justice label him a foreign agent, and the
Ministry of Culture bar him from state-funded
projects.
Predictably,
the liberal media cried foul — "A denunciation!"
To which
Poplavskaya replied sharply:
"They see
denunciations everywhere. I hope Deputy Guliev will be supported by the entire Kursk regional parliament and by Governor Alexander Khinshtein."

Real Heroes Weren't Made by Producers
Poplavskaya
then drew a line between real heroes and studio-manufactured faces.
She named Anatoly Papanov, Yuri
Nikulin, Innokenty Smoktunovsky, Vladimir Basov, Mikhail
Pugovkin — men who served in the military, as scouts, artillerymen, and
soldiers before they ever stepped onto a film
set.
"And what
will Nagiev talk about? His shopping raids in Dubai? These men were real national
heroes, and that's why they became icons of Soviet cinema. But Nagiev,
Kozlovsky, Urgant — they're just marketable packaging, invented by producers
for profit. Fake heroes!"
💰
Millions for Coffee and Ginger Juice
Then came
the numbers. And that's where it hurt most.
"Do you
know how much Nagiev earns for just one day of filming? As much as the family
of a fallen soldier receives in compensation," Poplavskaya revealed.
10 million rubles for four hours of work.
Private Mercedes S Long, a personal driver, gourmet coffee,
and ginger juice. That's the "frontline" life Nagiev lives — while real
soldiers patch their gear with duct tape and crowdfund for thermal scopes.
🎯 A
"Contract with the Devil"? Or Just with a Producer?
At the same
premiere, Nagiev claimed:
"Filming Yolki
is like signing a contract with the devil."
Really?
Maybe it's just a contract with a very generous
producer.
Because
while he jokes about devils, real contracts are being signed daily — by men
headed into blood, mud, and death. No drivers. No juice.
Only grit,
honor, and risk.
🩸 No
Filter, Just the Truth
In the end,
Poplavskaya said it plainly. No metaphors. No political correctness. Just truth
that stings:
"A useless eunuch actor."
And that was
the end of it.
