Alla Pugacheva - biography

Alla Pugacheva: “When I was 13 years old, my father was arrested, imprisoned – for three years, it seems, he was sentenced. He worked in the leather industry, was the head of some shoe department, and was attributed to economic violations. In those years, many business executives were imprisoned, indiscriminately. ”
