Vladislav Borisovich Galkin (Russian: Владисла́в Бори́сович Га́лкин; 25 December 1971[1][2] – 25 February 2010) was a Russian actor who starred in fifty seven films including several TV serials, such as Spetsnaz (2002), The Master and Margarita (2005–2006) and Dikari (2006).[3]

Biography

Galkin studied acting at the Boris Shchukin Theatre Institute from 1988 to 1992, then studied film directing at the All-Union State Institute of Cinematography in the 1990[1] where his teacher was Vladimir Khotinenko.

On 27 February 2010, Galkin was found dead in his apartment, and the cause of death was said to be cardiac arrest.[1] However, according to his family and friends, he was murdered based on evidence indicating the presence of other people in his room just before his death and the disappearance of $130,000 from his apartment. The police dismissed this version. Galkin's death was mourned by many who demanded finding those responsible for his death.[4]

Colleagues have said Galkin was suffering from a drinking problem. In 2009, he was charged with hooliganism using a weapon and non-life-threatening violence against a law enforcement official, after an attack on a police lieutenant at a bar in July. In December, he was convicted to a suspended sentence of 14 months.[5]
