💫💫Putin personally approved lifting the unofficial ban on working with Dmitry Nagiyev in Russia after his speech at the premiere of Yolki

Vladimir Putin personally approved resuming cooperation with actor Dmitry Nagiyev after an appeal in his support, a TV Rain source said. According to the source, the unofficial ban on working with Nagiyev had been in effect for about ten months.

The “block” is linked to the actor’s speech at the premiere of Yolki in late 2025, which was perceived as indirect criticism of the war. After it, Nagiyev, according to the source, did not receive job offers, including from advertising agencies.

According to TV Rain’s interlocutor, the restrictions were lifted after the issue of Nagiyev was raised in a conversation with Putin — Putin spoke positively about the actor and approved resuming work with him. The source added that Nikita Mikhalkov was the most active in “trashing” Nagiyev.

🔴In late December 2025, at the premiere of Yolki-12, Dmitry Nagiyev admitted that he had acted in the film because of the money and joked that if people came to see Yolki, it meant there was nothing else to watch. And when asked about the film’s popularity, Nagiyev replied: “So many films about war, I just have no strength left, dampness, mud, this is an illusion of a peaceful, happy life.” At the same time, the actor wished everyone peaceful skies.

🔴Nagiyev’s words attracted a lot of attention, including from the Z community. In particular, the Telegram channel Rybar wrote that “Nagiyev is tired of Russia, and Russia is tired of him,” while Kursk Regional Duma deputy Dmitry Guliyev at the time sent a request to the Justice Ministry asking it to check whether there were grounds to designate the actor a “foreign agent.”
