A great actor could bring much more joy to his country and fans. But … a sensational tragedy happened, which is still rumored to this day.
The famous smile of Vladislav Galkin, a very open kind face and a charismatic character - these are the qualities with which the popular actor was able to win the hearts of millions of his admirers. Today he is no longer among the living, but the glory and love of his fans are immortal.
Biography and personal life of Vladislav Galkin
The future Honored Artist of the Russian Federation was born on December 25, 1971 in Zhukovsky. His biological father, Georgy Cherkasov, did not participate in the life of Vladislav, who never found out about him. His adoptive father (Boris Galkin is a famous director and actor) and his mother (Elena Demidova is a theater playwright, screenwriter and actress) raised their son together with his sister Masha. But it was his maternal grandmother who was the first to discern acting talent in her grandson, who took him to the casting, dedicated to the search for actors for the film "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn."
It was with the role of Huckleberry Finn directed by Stanislav Govorukhin that the acting biography of our hero began. Vladislav grew up from the age of 17, when he decided to continue his education at a theater university. From this age, he became independent of the family and showed himself as a special connoisseur of freedom.
Since 1998, the creative talent of our hero began to unfold very rapidly. Govorukhin's film "Voroshilovsky shooter" and work with Mikhail Ulyanov on the set became Vladislav's second baptism as a film actor.
And then followed "In August 44th …" (2001), "Truckers" (2001), "On the other side of the wolves" (2002), "Spetsnaz" (2002), "The Master and Margarita" (2005), "Saboteur … The end of the war "(2007)," Imperfect woman "(2008) and" "Kotovsky" (2009).
The actor's four marriages characterize Mr. Galkin as a seeker and ambiguous person. Svetlana Fomicheva, Elena Galkina and Valentina Elina could not play any serious significance in the personal life of our hero. And only the fourth wife - actress Daria Mikhailova - was able to create that “magic world” in October 1998, which began with their mutual love at first sight. But even in this case, deep feelings could not carry them away to eternity.
The last woman of Vladislav can be considered the film producer Anastasia Shipulina, with whom he celebrated his last birthday.
The cause of death of the actor
The fatal end of the life of a movie star was preceded by a loud scandal in the Moscow cafe "Tiki Bar" with the shooting from a traumatic pistol at the window of the bar and visitors. Then there was a sensational trial and a suspended sentence of 14 months in prison. The events took place on New Year's Eve 2010, when the star finished filming the film "Kotovsky".
After the New Year holidays in 2010, Vladislav went to the hospital due to pancreatitis. After discharge, he followed a diet and led a fairly relaxed lifestyle. However, on February 26, 2010, Boris Galkin, together with rescuers, discovered a two- or three-day-old corpse of his son. Despite the absence of traces of violent death and Boris Sergeevich's assurances that Vladislav has stopped drinking alcohol, to which he has recently become addicted, today there are rumors about several possible outcomes.
The official version of forensic experts is heart failure. But, in addition, the possibility of robbery is not excluded, since a large amount of money was not found in the apartment. And finally, the third option for the lethal end of the actor is still considered by some to be alcohol abuse, since they allegedly found empty vodka bottles next to the body.
