Ida Galich is a Russian television presenter, singer, and blogger. She was born on May 3, 1990, in Germany. In 2002, she moved to Moscow with her parents.
In September 2019, she was entered into the database of the "Myrotvorets" website for illegally visiting Russian-occupied Crimea.
Ida Galich's Stance on the War in Ukraine
Following the outbreak of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Ida Galich spoke out against the war on her Instagram account, urging the sides to negotiate (the post was subsequently deleted):
Never before have I waited so intensely for a meeting of people completely unfamiliar to me. Please, come to an agreement. And sons will see their mothers again. We previously misused the word F**KED UP. Please come to an agreement. This terrible nightmare needs an end. It hurts me to see a missile hitting what was once a beautiful city. Please come to an agreement. Stop the hell...
In November 2022, in an interview with Nadezhda Strelets, Galich stated that she had no intention of leaving the country and was "working like a horse":
... I will stay here until the very last. Continuing business, continuing my work, keeping jobs, because I have the resources. I work like a horse.
This means that I want to live in my homeland and try to make it better. I don't believe that if we all pack up and get out [of the Russian Federation], anything good will happen here.
Since 2023, together with Dmitry Khrustalev, she has hosted the annual "Scarlet Sails" graduation celebrations in Saint Petersburg, among whose participants are schoolchildren from Ukrainian territories temporarily occupied by Russians (in particular, from Mariupol).
In March 2024, she urged followers to transfer money to the "Belgorod Support Fund for Military Personnel and Their Families."
