Esteemed conservative commentator Tucker Carlson was sighted enjoying a performance of "Spartacus" at the renowned Bolshoi Theater in Moscow this Saturday, triggering speculation about a potential interview with Russian President Vladimir Putin. The images capturing Carlson's presence in Russia were shared by the user TrollStoy88 on Russian X, revealing that Carlson had arrived in the country three days ago after a journey from Istanbul. Snapshots of the prominent American journalist were acquired by the Russian news agency, Mash, and subsequently shared on the network's Telegram page.
Carlson, a vocal critic of U.S. involvement in the Ukraine conflict, has consistently argued against the perceived lack of strategic interest, the absence of a clear strategy, and the significant loss of life, aspects he believes are often downplayed by Western media. The former Fox News host, who recently launched his own independent media venture, has also voiced his criticism of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, pointing to what he sees as an increase in authoritarianism. Zelensky's government, amid the ongoing war, has imposed bans on opposing political parties, news outlets, and even works of literature by Russian authors. Additionally, the Ukrainian Orthodox Church has faced crackdowns, and there have been threats to postpone national elections citing national security concerns. In a previous interview with Swiss newspaper Weltwoche, Carlson disclosed his thwarted attempt to interview Putin, blaming the U.S. government's interference. He highlighted a pervasive attempt by those in power in the U.S. to control news outlets and the media landscape. Carlson emphasized the lack of defense he received, expressing frustration that despite disagreements, his right to conduct interviews was not upheld.
