The comedian expressed gratitude to Russia for its support at the beginning of his career and the diversity of the audience.
Comedian Nurlan Saburov, who was expelled from Russia with a 50-year entry ban, spoke for the first time about his career in the country after returning to Kazakhstan. In his Instagram, he thanked Russia and noted the warm attitude of the audience in different regions, as reported by RTVI.
Saburov emphasized that it was in Russia that he received all the necessary conditions for creative growth and was able to become an artist who attracted a "large multinational audience" both in the country and abroad.
He recalled how 15 years ago he began his journey as a stand-up comedian with a performance in Yekaterinburg and during this time gave numerous concerts in various Russian cities, including repeat performances in some of them. "The friendly and warm reception was everywhere," the comedian added.
On February 6, Friday, Saburov flew to Vnukovo from Dubai, where he held a solo concert. However, he was not allowed to pass through border control and was sent back to Almaty on the nearest flight. Meanwhile, his family and business remained in Russia.
It soon became known about the comedian's 50-year entry ban to Russia, which was justified by national security interests, compliance with legislation, and the protection of traditional spiritual values. As law enforcement agencies explained, this decision was related to Saburov's statements about the special military operation (SMO) and violations of migration legislation.
According to unconfirmed information, he was planned to be detained and deported on February 3 in Yekaterinburg; however, the concert in that city did not take place. After the deportation, it became known that Saburov plans to organize new shows in other countries, including Thailand, instead of the canceled performances in Russia.
