Nikita Kologrivyy is a Russian theater and film actor. He achieved wide acclaim for his roles in the television series The Boy's Word: Blood on the Asphalt («Slovo patsana. Krov na asfalte») and the films Wish of the Fairy Fish and Poets. He was born on October 16, 1994, in Novosibirsk.
Nikita Kologrivyy's Stance on the War in Ukraine
Nikita Kologrivyy openly supports the Russian military and participants in the war against Ukraine. Despite spending part of his childhood in Bila Tserkva, Ukraine, the actor has publicly voiced backing for Russian troops and starred in film projects centered around the so-called «special military operation» («SVO»).
Support for the Russian Army
In the summer of 2023, Kologrivyy recorded a video message addressed to Russian soldiers participating in the so-called «SVO». Dressed in military uniform on a movie set, the actor expressed gratitude to the occupying forces for their actions on Ukrainian territory:
Thank you very much for holding down our places out there... We will try our best to make movies you will enjoy. Stay healthy, we are waiting for you to come home.
Participation in a Film About the «SVO»
In 2025, the film Timur and His Team was released, in which Kologrivyy played a small role as Kostya, a tank crewman deploying to fight in the so-called «SVO». According to the plot, he asks his sister to bring him his great-grandfather's World War II medal to Belgorod as a talisman. In the film's climax, he receives the medal and heads to the front with the parting slogan «Let's work, brothers.»
Family in Ukraine
Journalists highlighted striking paradoxes in the actor's biography: following his parents' divorce, Kologrivyy lived until the 7th grade in Bila Tserkva, Kyiv Oblast. His mother continues to live in Ukraine, and her new husband serves in the ranks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU). Despite these immediate family connections, Kologrivyy persistently supports the Russian military.
«Myrotvorets» and Scandals in Russia
On January 26, 2024, Kologrivyy was added to the Myrotvorets database for publicly supporting Russian aggression, propagating war, and illegally traveling to occupied Crimea for film shoots.
In March 2024, the actor became embroiled in a high-profile scandal in Novosibirsk after starting a brawl and causing a disturbance in a bar. In the wake of the incident, Novosibirsk city councilor Rostislav Antonov suggested deploying Kologrivyy to the front lines so he could substantiate his words about «holding down our places» in the Russian army with actual deeds.
