Comedian Maxim Galkin performed a song about the circus in front of MAX LED letters at a concert in Jurmala. He is listed in the Russian Ministry of Justice register of foreign agents.
A video clip of the performance was published by the Telegram channel NeMalahov. In the video, Galkin sang the song Arlekino, which launched the solo career of his wife, Alla Pugacheva.
The stage was decorated with large LED modules displaying the letters MAX. The Telegram channel suggested a political motive behind the backdrop, with the post's author asking whether the foreign agent was eager to return to Moscow after laying out the name of a Russian state messaging service in huge letters in Jurmala.
