Theater and film actor Yevgeny Tkachuk was detained at St. Petersburg's Pulkovo Airport. According to preliminary information, he is suspected of transporting prohibited substances.

As reported by the SHOT Telegram channel, the 40-year-old star was stopped at pre-flight inspection today at about seven in the morning.

At the moment, Evgeny continues to communicate with the police.

Evgeny Tkachuk is known for his roles in the TV series “Quiet Flows the Don”, “The King and the Jester”, “Peace! Friendship!
