Vadim Galygin is a Belarusian and Russian actor, television presenter, stand-up comedian, producer, and humorist. He performed on Comedy Club (under the stage name Vadik "Rambo" Galygin) on the TNT channel, and served as producer and host of "Very Russian TV" on the STS channel. He participated in KVN and worked on Belarusian television. Born on May 8, 1976, in Borisov, Belarusian SSR.
In October 2021, he was entered into the database of the "Myrotvorets" website for illegally visiting occupied Crimea.
In 2020, during the protests in Belarus, he urged law enforcement officers to "stop the bloodshed and violence against their own people" and the authorities to restore justice. However, in 2025, he changed his tune, claiming that he had been misunderstood back then:
The only thing I regret is that in 2020 everything was misunderstood, or the facts were distorted. This was done by people for whom it was beneficial and convenient. Because I remember how it all blew up, that Galygin had allegedly supported the protests. Everything is absolutely diametrically opposed.
Vadim Galygin's Stance on the War in Ukraine
Following the outbreak of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Vadim Galygin did not utter a single word, adopting a position of complete silence.
However, in June 2025, on air during the program "Markov. Nothing Personal" on ONT, he openly spoke about the so-called SMO:
The year 2022 lies on a slightly different plane. The launch of the special military operation was an unexpected decision, very wise and competent. People didn't know what to do or how to react. Everyone was in a state of shock — from the very top to the bottom, not to mention ordinary people. Perhaps some simply got scared. I think people's destinies split. Some left — and had been waiting for this, even though they live poorly now. And some left and regret what they did. Of this, I am one hundred percent sure.
Galygin continues to work in Russia, hosting shows, podcasts, and co-founding a motorsport team. He publicly emphasizes his dual bond with Belarus and Russia, expressing gratitude to Moscow for career opportunities and acknowledging that his affection is divided equally between the two countries.
