15 April 2026 marked the 77th birthday of Alla Pugacheva, People's Performer of the USSR and the voice behind "Million Alykh Roz";

although she has lived abroad for five years, congratulatory messages still found her — her husband, parodist Maxim Galkin, who is registered as a foreign agent, posted a recent photo of Pugacheva in an elegant black hat with the caption "С днём рождения, любимая красотка!" and turned a private greeting into a public cascade of warm wishes. Longtime friend and collaborator Igor Nikolaev added a tender tribute: a video stitched from archival concert performances, TV appearances and backstage moments that show Pugacheva laughing, singing and embracing colleagues, accompanied by his words "Дорогая Алла, с днём рождения!" and wishes for personal happiness, strong health and that fate bestow kindness, warmth and love on her children. In the comment threads fans recalled how she first sang "Arlekino" at the Golden Orpheus 45 years ago, how the 1985 release of "Million Alykh Roz" swept the entire Soviet Union, and how in 2009 she last took the stage at the Kremlin Palace to a standing ovation; despite the absence of any announced jubilee concerts this year, her name continues to sound on the airwaves and her songs remain high in streaming charts. Pugacheva herself has kept silent, preferring to stay out of the spotlight — sources close to the family say she marked the day quietly at home with close relatives, without grand parties and with tears in her eyes. Producer Sergey Dvortsov, a longtime acquaintance of many stars of the 1990s, told an OSN correspondent that Alla Borisovna would be in the Moscow region on 15 April and that a plane is due to land this week. In recent years her life has resembled an endless tour, though the reasons for those moves have been anything but performeric.
