Creativity of Vladislav Galkin
Vladislav consolidated his acting success by starring in the film "This scoundrel Sidorov", which the audience could see in 1983. Around the same time, Boris Galkin recalls, Vladislav first called him father. An experienced actor, having looked at the work of his adopted son in the film, told him that he would certainly be a good and skillful artist. The boy took this assessment very seriously. Perhaps it was then that he truly believed in himself.
Having matured, Vladislav continued to act in films. He played a district police officer in the "Voroshilovsky arrow", counterintelligence officer Tamantsev in the tape "In August 44th …". The work in the television series "Truckers" brought particular popularity to the talented artist. Then Vladislav masterfully created the images of the GRU special forces soldier in the Spetsnaz project and the head of the criminal investigation department in the adventure film On the Other Side of the Wolves. These are just some of the many roles played by the actor.
A story with a criminal tinge
The last film project in which Vladislav managed to take part was the picture "Kotovsky". During the filming of this film, which took place in August 2009, a criminal case was opened against Galkin. Earlier, the actor behaved aggressively in one of the capital's cafes: when the bartender refused to pour him alcohol, Galkin smashed the chair on the bar. Then, as the check established, the rowdy drew out a traumatic weapon and began to threaten those around him.
Law enforcement officers quickly arrived at the scene of the incident. The militiamen tried to calm down the raging actor. In response, one of the servants of the law received a blow to the face from Galkin. The accusation stated that Vladislav was guilty of hooliganism and resistance to police officers.
A trial was held at the end of the year. Galkin was sentenced to a year and two months probation. The court established a probationary period of one and a half years for him. The defendant fully admitted his guilt, repented of what he had done. But the hype in the press around the actor just flared up.
A month later, the public learned that Vladislav was being treated at the clinic. Botkin. It turned out that he was hospitalized after the New Year holidays: Vladislav's pancreas became inflamed. The patient was prescribed a strict diet, conservative treatment and was soon discharged.
Death of an actor
On February 27, 2010, information appeared in the media that the popular actor V. Galkin died a few days ago. Cardiac arrest was named the presumable cause of death.
The alarm was raised by Boris Galkin, he could not get through to his adopted son for several days. In the presence of the police, the actor's apartment was opened. There the body of Vladislav was found: he was lying in his bed. According to other sources, the body was on the floor, facing downward. The examination established that the death occurred about three days ago. The examination revealed no signs of a crime. Probably, the actor's heart suddenly stopped. This could well have been caused by inflammation of the previously affected pancreas.
Subsequently, Boris Galkin suggested that his son could have been forcibly deprived of his life. During a search, the actor did not find a large amount of money, which he had by that time. According to the father, the results of the investigation could have been influenced by one of the son's friends who had the keys to his apartment. However, B. Galkin's assumptions were not confirmed, therefore such data were not included in the case materials.
