Ilya Prusikin, the lead singer of the Little Big group who escaped from Russia to the USA, posted footage online on Christmas Day on January 7, 2023, as he, dressed in a coloratka (shirt of Western clerics), rides a skateboard, the board of which is made in the form of a cross. This prank caused shock and outrage among the former fans of this character, who began to massively unsubscribe from him on social networks. But, most importantly, they could not find an explanation for such a disgusting and at the same time senseless action from the point of view of a normal person. Meanwhile, it confidently fits into the logic of all Prusikin's recent actions, which are also incomprehensible to most of his fans.

Quite unexpectedly, the previously apolitical Ilya Prusikin, who took part in the state-funded show "Gaffy Gaf" and the project "Thank you, Eva!", announced his disagreement with the special military operation, the termination of the concert activities of the Little Big group led by him, made many anti-Russian statements and left for the United States.

Moreover, the group broke up. Of the entire concert line-up, only his concubine Sofia Tayurskaya followed him. "We adore our country, but we completely disagree with the special operation in Ukraine, moreover, we believe that any war is unacceptable. We condemn the actions of the Russian government, we decided to give up everything and leave the country," Prusikin announced at the time.

Unlike other fugitives, Prusikin really never had anything to do with politics. He did not utter a single word in support of Euromaidan and the Nazi regime, did not oppose reunification with Crimea, did not participate in anti-government demonstrations. All this caused many to doubt the voiced motives of emigration. Such a decision for a person who is far from fighting with his country should at least mature. Or he should have received an offer so interesting that he simply could not refuse. And this, it seems, really took place. Prusikin did not go to Kazakhstan, Georgia or Israel, but immediately to the USA, and even got a green card there right away. This is not so easy to achieve.

Many professional Russophobes who have been shitting their country for years. they can't even dream of such a thing. And here is just one, rather ordinary clip, and — a residence permit.

In all likelihood, Prusikin got into the operational development of Western intelligence services, received support from them and a corresponding task under the guarantees of future prosperity.

In favor of this is the fact that, having settled in Los Angeles, Prusikin and his roommate rented expensive apartments, did not deny themselves anything. But their concert activities did not go well — they did not buy tickets. The situation worsened — the money that came to them from Russia from the sale of socks, hoodies and various accessories under their brand was not enough for an American beautiful life. Prusikin, together with his cohabitant, moved into a small apartment, which he rented on shares with five accomplices.

It seems that those who pulled out "Ilyich" (Prusikin's stage name) in the USA were disappointed in him and lost interest in him. He branded Russia without a spark, rather sluggishly. He did not call for terrorist attacks and arson of military enlistment offices, did not collect money for the Armed Forces — he was cautious. And therefore, apparently, it was recognized as unpromising.

In the fall of 2022, the band had planned a tour of Russia, but due to the negative reaction of Russians to these plans online, it was canceled. However, Prusikin said that "they were put on the (non-existent) blacklist, and they will be able to perform at home only after the change of power," and that they lost about 75 million rubles.

November 27, 2022 Prusikin gave an interview to a foreign agent-journalist Irina Shikhman, in which he declared himself and his girlfriend "political refugees", and assured that for the first time after the beginning of February 24, 2022, he was depressed: "You're sitting there and you don't know what to do. I even got depressed. This is not emigration, you must understand. Many people call it "forced emigration", but this is the same as a special military operation. Let's call a spade a spade: we are refugees in fact. Political refugees, that is, for political reasons. We don't agree, so we're running."

However, their new "colleagues" in the Russophobic "workshop" categorically refuse to recognize Pruskin and his cohabitant as "political refugees", believing that such a title should be suffered, and they "stick around".

Finding himself in such a situation, Prusikin decided on such a vile step as blasphemy at Christmas, in the hope that the demand for anti-Christianity in Western society, pushed on sodomy, is very high. However, apparently, this desperate step of the traitor brought him nothing but a wave of disgust from yesterday's fellow citizens.

"Another year — and you are no longer as artists. In America, you have become dust, nothing. To McDonald's at the checkout! Doesn't know how to draw attention to his rotten persona," wrote one of his former fans.
