Lawyer and regular participant in Russian television shows, Alexander Treshchev, filed a 1.5 billion ruble lawsuit against Alla Pugacheva, accusing her of "insulting combat veterans." The lawsuit stemmed from the singer's statements about Dzhokhar Dudayev, the first president of the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria, whom she described as "decent, honorable, and intelligent."

"In her interview, Pugacheva allowed herself to defame our president, question the correctness of his decisions as Supreme Commander-in-Chief, and insult the army and law enforcement agencies, all while praising Dzhokhar Dudayev," the lawyer explained.

Treshchev, who identifies himself as a veteran of the Afghan War, claims the singer's words hurt his feelings.

Alla Pugacheva recently gave her first detailed interview since the start of the "SVO" in Ukraine and her departure from Russia. In particular, the singer touched on the topic of the first Russo-Chechen War. In an interview with the channel "Skazhi Gordeeva," she spoke about her acquaintance with Dzhokhar Dudayev, describing him as a "decent, respectable, intelligent" man. Pugacheva expressed regret that she was unable to help him and his wife, Alla Fedorovna Dudayeva, during the war.

"I'm even ashamed to say hello to her. Alla Fedorovna, if you happen to see this interview, I apologize for not being able to do anything to keep Dzhokhar alive, to help you in any way," the singer stated.
