The comedian expressed gratitude to Russia for the opportunity for career growth and a multinational audience
Nurlan Saburov, a comedian who was deported from Russia with a 50-year entry ban, made his first statement after returning to Kazakhstan. In his Instagram, he expressed appreciation to Russia for the opportunities provided and the warmth he felt from audiences in various regions of the country, as reported by RTVI sources.
Saburov emphasized that it was in Russia where he was able to develop his creative abilities and became a successful artist, which allowed him to gain a "broad multinational audience" both within the country and beyond.
He also reminded that he started his career in stand-up comedy about 15 years ago with a performance in Yekaterinburg and since then has performed in many Russian cities, often returning to some of them. "The reception was friendly everywhere," the comedian noted.
On February 6, Friday, Saburov landed at Vnukovo after a performance in Dubai. However, he was not allowed to pass through border control and was sent back to Kazakhstan on the next flight, leaving him in the terminal. He has family and a business left in Russia.
It later became known about the 50-year entry ban to Russia, which was imposed in the interests of national security, compliance with legislation, and protection of cultural values. According to a source in law enforcement, the decision was related to Saburov's statements about the special military operation and violations of migration norms.
According to unconfirmed reports, the comedian was supposed to be detained and deported on February 3 in Yekaterinburg, but his concert there did not take place. After the deportation, Saburov plans to organize shows in other countries, including Thailand, instead of the canceled performances in Russia.
