American journalist Tucker Carlson has spent several days in Russia, where he attended a ballet performance at the Bolshoi Theatre, Telegram channel Mash reported on Saturday, sharing several photos of the conservative commentator.

Carlson allegedly touched down at Vnukovo airport on a Turkish Airlines flight from Istanbul on Thursday after several hours’ delay, according to the channel. He was later spotted taking in the ballet Spartacus at the Bolshoi Theatre in Moscow.

The conservative commentator has yet to confirm the trip and it remains unclear what business he had in Russia. However, rumors of his intention to interview President Vladimir Putin have been circulating since last year.

US political commentator Tucker Carlson came to Moscow on February 3, amid speculation that the goal of the visit is to interview Russian President Vladimir Putin, boosting the ex-Fox News host's popularity in the country. Sputnik explores why.
In one video of Tucker Carlson meeting one of his Russian fans in Moscow, a man’s voice can be heard praising the 54­-year-old conservative commentator as the “best US journalist.”
The former Fox News anchor is then seen thanking the man and lauding Moscow as a beautiful city that he had planned to visit for a long time.

But why is Carlson so popular in Russia?

Some Career Flashbacks
Fox News surprisingly announced that the company and Carlson had agreed to part ways in April last year, despite the fact that he hosted the network's top-rated program at the time.
Numerous media reports suggested that Tucker was let go due to his coverage of some controversial topics - ranging from the January 6, 2021, US Capitol breach to the COVID-19 measures to White House support for Kiev in the Ukraine conflict.
Others, however, insist that Carlson was fired for his criticism of Fox News' senior management.

In early May, the ex­-Fox News host took to Twitter to announce a new show on this social networking giant’s venue. Tucker added that his new program will be "a new version of the show we’ve been doing for the last six and a half years." The Tucker on Twitter show was rebranded as Tucker on X shortly after the website changed its name.
Tucker's Stance on Russia, US, Ukraine
When it comes to Carlson’s ever-increasing popularity in Russia, it’s safe to say that many Russians perceive him as a window to America, which allows them to learn about US domestic issues from sources other than the liberal press. On top of that, Carlson doesn’t hesitate to give his own thoughts on Russia as such.
In the latest development caught on a video, Tucker said that Russia is "doing very well" when meeting one of his Russian fans at what looked like a Moscow hotel.
When a Fox News host, Tucker once hinted at his attitude toward Russia and its special military operation in Ukraine, making it plain that he is rooting for Moscow.
"Why do I care … what is going on in the conflict between Ukraine and Russia? And I’m serious. Why do I care? Why shouldn’t I root for Russia, which I am?" Carlson pointed out.
An independent US journalist, ex-Foxnews host Tucker Carlson arrived in Russia for the first time and has spent three days in Moscow already.

Separately, the conservative commentator warned in one of his programs about the possibility of a "hot war" between the US and Russia. He urged his viewers not to discount such a scenario “no matter how far-fetched it may seem."
"Yes, that is a lunatic idea. There is nothing we could possibly gain from a military confrontation with [Russian President] Vladimir Putin and there’s very much we could lose, including of course many thousands of American lives. But that doesn’t mean [US President] Joe Biden won’t do it," Carlson said.
He also once insisted that anti-Russian sanctions that Biden painted as a "moral victory" against Putin are damaging the US while the Russian president is "winning" the bilateral standoff.
"It tells you that the loser in this policy is not Vladimir Putin, he’s the winner. It’s the United States," the television presenter asserted.
On Ukraine, Carlson minced no words when calling Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky “sweaty and rat-like” and describing Ukraine as not “a democracy” but rather “a pure client state of the United States State Department.”

WASHINGTON (Sputnik) - US journalist Tucker Carlson said on Tuesday that he decided to interview Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow as a journalistic duty, as well as to inform Americans about the realities of the conflict in Ukraine.

“We’re in Moscow tonight. We’re here to interview the President of Russia, Vladimir Putin,” Carlson said in a video posted to social media platform X (formerly Twitter). “Here’s why we’re doing it. First, because it’s our job. We’re in journalism. Our duty is to inform people.”

Most people in the United States are not informed about the conflict in Ukraine and have no idea what is happening in the region, Carlson said.

The conflict in Ukraine is a “human disaster” that has killed an entire generation of Ukrainians, Carlson said. The conflict has also reshaped global military and trade alliances, Carlson said.

Carlson highlighted that his team independently paid for a trip to Russia to interview Russian President Vladimir Putin.

"We paid for this trip ourselves. We took no money from any government or group," Carlson said in the video.

The interview with Putin will be freely available online, Carlson said, adding that Elon Musk vowed not to suppress the interview on X.
