The Russian Embassy in the USA condemned the American comedian Seth Meyers for the "joke" he told regarding the death of Alexander Darchiev. "These kinds of actions are unbecoming of any person who has even an iota of integrity and humanity," the diplomatic mission said.
In 2023, the Russian Foreign Ministry announced that Myers' entry to Russia was closed. Donald Trump visited the comedian more than once. He called on NBC to fire the host and shut down his show.
