Trading his parents for bloody rubles: How actor Yuriy Baturin is trying to please the Kremlin and why he is despised even by his colleagues

Former Ukrainian actor Yuriy Baturin, who was born in the village of Stavydla in Kirovohrad region but moved to Russia in the early 1990s, supports Putin's bloody policies. He considers the aggressor country his home and even disowned his parents, who live in Ukraine and despise the Kremlin dictator. The artist pretends he still doesn't understand why his relatives call him a traitor.
The celebrity has a negative attitude towards Russian artists, his colleagues who have left their homeland, criticising their stance on the war. The actors themselves, including Evgeniy Pronin, Ekaterina Kuznetsova's ex-husband, point out that Baturin is so zombified that he has lost the respect of all his friends and acquaintances on the set. OBOZREVATEL will tell you more about it (to see the photo, scroll to the end of the page).
Yuriy Baturin doesn't think those who support Ukraine are smart and even calls his parents "sick people. By the way, he once said of Pronin: "The actor may be good, but as a person he is shit. I'm not ashamed of that, I know what I'm talking about. But I don't care what he is like. I can't live with him, I can't baptize my children." He has the same opinion about all Russians who look at the Kremlin Führer obliquely.
The Putinist calls the war in our country karma. He claims that Ukraine is already dead and dreams of taking his father and mother to Moscow. However, Baturin does not deny that he would like to come to his former homeland with his son to show him the places he loved as a child.
"Mom, I love you very much. I think about you every day, about you, about daddy. I have pictures there (in Russia, - ed.). I look at them often. Mum, everything will be fine, don't worry. You will come to Moscow with your father. We will go for a walk again. And I will come to Ukraine, bring my son, show him all the places where I ran barefoot as a child," the actor said with tears in his eyes on one of the propaganda channels.
The 50-year-old is married and is raising an heir. In 1996, while working as a barman in Alla Pugacheva's restaurant, he met his future wife Irina. Exactly one year later, the couple legalised their relationship. On January 7, 2013, the couple had a son, Bogdan. Baturin's parents rarely see or speak to their grandson.
Earlier OBOZREVATEL wrote that Russian journalist and music critic Sergey Sosedov, who was a judge on Ukrainian singing shows for many years, now actively supports the terrorist war in Ukraine. He also doesn't get tired of badmouthing artists who have an anti-war stance. Read more in our story.
