Andrey Makarevich could not stand it and said everything he thinks to his enemies.

Russian stars, who chose to emigrate after the outbreak of a full-scale war, are unlikely to call their lives quiet. Andrei Makarevich, the permanent leader of the group “Time Machine”, has been living in Israel for more than a year, raising a son with a beloved woman and holding concerts. However, detractors mercilessly criticize every step of the artist. Where is Makarevich right now?



Makarevich Andrey Vadimovich left Russia before the outbreak of hostilities and emigrated to the homeland of his fourth wife – journalist and photographer with Ukrainian roots – Einat Klein. The couple married in December 2019, and in March 2022 their son Eitan was born. The singer received Israeli citizenship and does not plan to return to Russia.



Makarevich explains his decision very simply: in Russia, all the ways for normal work and creativity are now closed for him. In September 2022, the musician received the status of a foreign agent for caustic statements against the Russian government and anti-war position.

The artist does not yearn for his homeland: for him, a place where you can do your favorite thing is more important. The hot Israeli climate is perfect for this. In addition, Andrei Vadimovich liked the mentality of Israel. According to him, people here are more calm, cheerful and relaxed compared to his compatriots.



The new life course of the legendary performer was sharply criticized by many countrymen. Also at one time got Alla Pugacheva, Maxim Galkin and Mikhail Shats, who settled in Israel in the status of emigrants-foreign agents.



The artist was reminded that Russia fed him for many years. Makarevich’s harsh response imprinted detractors: “I achieved everything with honest work.” I've worked hard throughout my life. There is no point in feeling uncomfortable in front of someone.”

Loyal fans of the “Time Machine” stood up for their idol. Net users complained that the best artists are leaving Russia, and with hope appealed to the musician to return to his homeland after the change of power.



What does Makarevich Andrei Vadimovich devotes a lot of time to the family and enthusiastically continues his creative path. After 1.5 years of stagnation, the artist organized a tight tour of Europe. This summer, Time Machine has already given concerts in Serbia, Georgia, the Czech Republic and Cyprus. Earlier this year, the band announced plans to perform in the United States and Canada. Makarevich is also going to visit Australia with a new jazz project “Yo5”.



At the end of this spring, "The Machine" gathered the audience for the 54th anniversary of the collective in the Israeli city of Caesarea. Alla Pugacheva sat in the front row and together with the hall sang her favorite songs. To the delight of the audience, the Diva rose to the stage to hug Makarevich and greet the audience, taking the artist in his arms. So the famous emigrants not only showed a common anti-war stance, but also their willingness to lend a helping hand to each other.



Since the first days of Russia’s military invasion, the frontman of Time Machine supports Ukrainians and directs part of his earnings from speeches to humanitarian aid. In late summer 2022, together with his wife, the artist organized a charity auction in Jerusalem. As a lot, the musician presented an amphora, which he painted with yellow and blue cats. Makarevich gave all the money to the Ukrainian poet Alexander Kabanov, whose parents at that time lived in the Russian-occupied Kherson.



By the way, Andrei Vadimovich actively acquaints the public with another side of his talent - fine art. So, on the eve of Hanukkah 2022, together with Andrei Kamanin, the artist opened the exhibition “Drawings on paper and iron” in the Tel Aviv gallery “Snob”.

Makarevich does not consider himself a professional artist and does not promote a certain concept in art. At the same time, he is very inspired to implement new solutions and loves experiments. We wish Andrei Vadimovich to move on in the same fighting rhythm to inspire and inspire his loyal fans!
