“A Useless Eunuch Actor”: Poplavskaya Destroys Nagiev Over War Films, Millions and Dubai Comfort

🎭 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.
