Pensioner, hit by singer Alexander Buinov, requires 3 million rubles

Pensioner Alla Smirnova, who suffered in an accident with the participation of singer Alexander Buinov, filed a lawsuit in court, demanding compensation in the amount of 3 million rubles for harm caused to health. According to her lawyer Dmitry Solovyov, representatives of the artist promised to pay one million rubles for treatment, but later stopped communicating.

The victim spent more than five months in hospital and, according to her lawyer, received no apology from the perpetrator.

Sergey Pudovkin, concert director of Alexander Buynova, in turn, said that he personally offered assistance in paying for treatment, but the pensioner refused. He also stated that the singer fulfilled all his duties as a driver: stayed at the scene of the accident and offered assistance, which, according to him, is confirmed by the data of the registrar and the testimony of two witnesses. Pudovkin called the incident “hait and blackmail”, suggesting that the victim was “overbought” to participate in a talk show.

Recall that the incident occurred in February 2025 at a pedestrian crossing to the suburbs. According to eyewitnesses, Alexander Buinov did not have time to slow down. The administrative case on violation of traffic rules was closed in the summer of 2026, after a year and a half. Before the expiration of the statute of limitations, it was not possible to establish the guilt of the artist.

In Karelia, downed pensioners, other victims of an accident, as a rule, do not declare such amounts. Everything is much more modest, even if there is significant harm to health.
