Vladislav Galkin died suddenly of cardiac arrest in his apartment in February 2010. The body was found by his adoptive father, who was worried about his son's condition. He also casts doubt on the investigator’s conclusion that the cardiac arrest was caused by alcohol consumption. Vlad was 38 years old, he managed to play many bright roles in films and TV series.
The popular actor, who won nationwide love and fame, played many roles in films and TV series that were included in the golden collection of Russian cinema, died early, shocking his family and millions of fans. The cause of death of Vlad Galkin seemed to be completely natural, but there are other opinions.
Body Detection
On February 25, 2010, Vlad was found dead in his own apartment. The first to worry was the actor’s adoptive father, Boris Galkin, who suspected something was wrong after there was no news from his son for several days. The actor’s friends called the Ministry of Emergency Situations to open the apartment after no one answered the knock. The dead artist was found on the floor, with a bottle of alcohol and a can of tomato juice nearby. A note with a short message “Waiting for a call” was found in the artist’s apartment.
Vladislav died at the age of 38.
No traces of violent death were found. Regardless of age, the experts noted extreme deterioration of the body due to stress, and the reason for death in the certificate indicated sudden cardiac arrest.
Personal life
Like any other representative of the fair sex, the singer always wanted to find female happiness. Little is known about the personal life of Inna Razumikhina before Galkin; it was the meeting with him that became fateful for the celebrity.

At the time they met, Boris was married, but Inna became true love at first sight for him. A fateful meeting took place in the city of Bryansk at a concert. Many fans are interested in how many years Boris Galkin’s wife Inna Razumikhina is younger than him. The age difference between them is 25 years, but this did not stop them from falling in love with each other. Some fans did not approve of Inna’s choice, given that Boris had already been married twice.
However, despite everything, the couple is very happy. They are connected by a bright creative tandem; many viewers appreciated their joint performances, which began in 2013.
Together with her husband, Inna found her happiness, and in 2020 they had a girl, Anya. Razumikhina’s pregnancy was not easy; she gave birth ahead of schedule.

As the celebrities subsequently reported in their interviews, they had previously wanted to have a child, but Inna’s pregnancies were interrupted due to miscarriages. In the case of her daughter, she hid until the last the fact that she was carrying her, even wearing clothes that were a couple of sizes larger.
The actor's health
On the eve of his death, Vladislav Galkin suffered from a chronic disease - inflammation of the pancreas. In January 2010, the artist was urgently taken to the hospital and diagnosed with acute pancreatitis. The death certificate states: “Died of cardiomyopathy,” which means sudden cardiac arrest.
Pathologists believe that heart failure could have occurred as a result of alcohol poisoning, since a dose of alcohol of more than 3 ppm was detected in the blood of the deceased actor. The version of death from an alcohol overdose against the background of general weakness of the body was the main one. Vladislav Galkin, whose cause of death for a long time bore signs of uncertainty, was declared dead from heart failure.
What Boris Galkin says about the death of his son
Boris Galkin, the actor’s adoptive father, in the program “Man and the Law” suggested the murder of his son, based on several facts known to him. He said that in February 2010, Vlad withdrew a round sum from his bank account - almost 140 thousand dollars. The deceased relied on them to make repairs in his new apartment, purchased after the divorce. The father was aware that Vladislav’s money was kept at home (potential customers and perpetrators of the murder could have had this information).
The father also told one more detail: often his son’s phone received threatening SMS messages, and a short time after the money was withdrawn, his face was covered with abrasions. There were bruises and bruises on the body immediately after the discovery of the deceased. The amount indicated by Boris Galkin was not found during a thorough search of the apartment. In addition, the absence of a dying message raised many questions from my father, as well as a bottle of cognac and a package of tomato juice that lay next to the corpse: from the moment Vlad was diagnosed with pancreatitis, he categorically refused alcoholic beverages and began to follow a diet.
Galkin Sr. also has questions regarding the investigation into the causes of death, since one of Vladislav’s close friends is an active law enforcement officer. It was known that he had a duplicate key to the actor’s apartment, so he could significantly influence the investigation process.
The facts and guesses voiced by B. Galkin were not confirmed and are not indicated in the official documents of the investigation. The official version of the death of the actor, who was too early to leave this world, is recognized as acute heart failure.
Works in cinema
Vlad’s very first role was Huckleberry Finn in the film of the same name by Stanislav Govorukhin. At the request of the actor, he was recorded in the credits under a fictitious surname - Sukhachev. Before he turned eighteen, the creative portfolio of the talented young man already included several fairly successful works, and after graduating from school, he began studying at the Boris Shchukin Theater School.
The artist’s first adult work was a small role as a policeman in the famous film “Voroshilovsky Shooter” (1998). In 2000, Vladislav played superbly in the military drama “In August 44th...”. His “star” filmography begins with this film.
Vlad's stepfather admitted that he was greatly touched by his son's play. According to Boris Galkin, he was deeply imbued with the spirit of wartime. Looking at his son, Boris Sergeevich literally saw his father’s colleagues who fought at the front.
The popularity and love of the domestic audience came to Vladislav Galkin after the release of the famous adventure series “Truckers” in 2001. Vlad and his colleague Vladimir Gostyukhin got the main roles in the film.
The success of the series made Vladislav a star. He began to receive offers only for leading or charismatic supporting roles.
In 2002, his new works were released - the series “Special Forces”, in which the actor played an elite special forces soldier nicknamed Yakut, and the mystical detective story “Beyond the Wolves”, where he played the role of criminal investigation lieutenant Sergei Vysik.
Then the artist’s career developed rapidly. He starred in the second season of “Truckers” and in the war film “Saboteur.”
In 2005, a film adaptation of The Master and Margarita was released. In it, Vladislav Galkin played the poet Ivan Bezdomny and masterfully conveyed the character of this interesting character.

Carier start
Inna Razumikhina on stage
After the festival, Razumikhina worked with various famous authors. The legendary Alla Bayanova gave her several of her romances. Mikhail Tanich wrote an entire album for the young performer called “Limita”. However, Inna, who at that time was raving about the French stage and at the same time still doubted her abilities, did not accept his gift. Instead, songs from the collection were performed by Alena Apina.
Inna worked for two years (1994-1996) at the Impromptu theater for children and for 6 years (1995-2001) at the Elena Kamburova Theater. She had to leave the latter due to current life circumstances. It was no longer possible to return. Razumikhina began to build a solo career. In the media she was called “a Parisian sparrow on the streets of Moscow” and “Russian Etid Piaf.”
Vlad's family
The future famous actor was born in the city of Zhukovsky on December 25, 1971. He never saw his own father; he spent his entire life with his mother and stepfather. Mom - Elena Demidova - was a popular theater actress in her time, who was also known as a playwright and screenwriter.
The famous actor and director was also his adoptive father, Boris Galkin, who treated Vladislav as his own son. A close friend and important person in the life of our hero has always been his grandmother, Lyudmila Demidova. As a child, Vladislav spent a lot of time with her, since his parents were constantly working. It was the grandmother who significantly influenced the entire life and fate of young Vladislav.
On her advice, the future actor began attending secondary school No. 6, which was famous for its good level of teaching. Also, on the recommendation of his grandmother, Vlad came to his first film auditions. Interestingly, his parents were always against him devoting his life to the theater field. Being well acquainted with this world, they believed that an actor was far from the limit and ideal of a young man’s dreams.
Vlad grew up with his sister Maria. The actor admitted: “I love Masha madly, she is a wonderful person, even though we are different people by nature.”
Maria grew up and chose a profession far from the theater world. She successfully completed her medical education, then decided to become a chef, and then went into business.
Youth
Boris Galkin was born in the post-war period (1947, September 16). His family was simple, where the actor’s father, Sergei Mikhailovich, worked as an ordinary shoemaker in a voluntary collective (artel), and his mother, Svetlana Georgievna, was an employee. The boy spent his childhood in Leningrad, now St. Petersburg. A few years later, the entire Galkin couple, together with little Boris, moved to Riga, where Sergei Mikhailovich’s artel also moved.
This was a fateful moment in the childhood of the future actor, because thanks to the fact that his father’s voluntary team began working at the Riga Opera and Ballet Theater, the boy often encountered the stage and creativity. However, little Boris Galkin’s very first hobby was acrobatics, and later he became interested in boxing, gymnastics, and freestyle wrestling.
Personal life and a note from Anastasia Shipulina
The actor was married several times. The first wife in his biography is Svetlana Fomicheva. Vladislav lived with her for only a year. The next two marriages also broke up - with Elena Galkina and Valentina Elina.
The fourth wife is actress Daria Mikhailova, whom he considered his real wife. Vlad also loved Daria’s daughter from a previous marriage, Vasilisa, and raised her as his own. The initially bright feelings of the spouses quickly cooled down, and the love that began at first sight ended. After 11 years, the couple decided to divorce, but did not have time to dissolve the marriage.
It’s interesting that the actor spoke about all the periods of his family life before Daria: “It was very hard to call them marriage.”
Shortly before his death, Vladislav began an affair with producer Anastasia Shipulina, with whom he celebrated his 39th and last birthday.
The woman did not live with Galkin, but came to see him every day. She left her last note almost a day after the death of her loved one. The investigation established that Nastya came to visit him, but no one opened the door, so she slipped the message “Waiting for a call” through the door crack. Later, when the door was opened, someone moved the message onto the table.
The sudden death of an actor is a shock and a heavy loss for the family, cinema and the whole country. Vladislav Galkin died, leaving behind heroes who live forever on camera and bright experiences born of a sincere smile preserved on film.
Interesting Facts
Before meeting Inna Razumikhina, Galkin was married to Elena Demidova, with whom two children were born. Son Vladislav became a popular actor, who, unfortunately, died at a fairly young age. Boris cannot forgive himself for this fact to this day, believing that he did not look after his son. Daughter Maria has autism and lives in the village.
