Graduate of the Raikin School. Lead roles in the series “Tsar of the Night” and the film “DDT. XX Century”. In July 2026 he publicly addressed Putin — and left Russia.
01 — Appeal
At around 4:30 a.m. on 28 July 2026, Alexey recorded a video appeal to Vladimir Putin and posted it on Instagram. Within a day it spread across the internet and was picked up by Meduza, BBC, DW and Current Time.
02 — Leaving
After the appeal, Alexey left Russia: he decided not to invest in the war — neither with his work nor with his taxes. He keeps working as an actor — but he has to start from scratch.
