Vitaly Zdorovetskiy’s Fall from Fame: Vlogger Lands in Philippine Jail
So here's the story, and it’s nothing short of wild. Russian internet personality and infamous prankster Vitaly Zdorovetskiy—yes, the same guy who rose to global notoriety for his outrageous videos—has officially been moved to a jail in the Philippines. No, this isn't some kind of elaborate prank or viral stunt. This is real. As of June 11, 2025, Zdorovetskiy is in the custody of the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology (BJMP), following his arrest and the denial of his bail request.
He was previously held by the Bureau of Immigration after being declared an “undesirable alien.” And to make it crystal clear—this wasn’t just about paperwork or overstaying his visa. Authorities allege that during his time in the Philippines, he engaged in a string of disruptive behaviors that went far beyond the limits of edgy content.

Let’s talk about what got him here. In early April, Zdorovetskiy was caught on camera harassing both a security guard and an elderly woman in Bonifacio Global City. That alone sparked outrage. But the list didn’t stop there—he allegedly stole a restaurant fan and even a tricycle, only to abandon both later. He reportedly jumped on a moving jeepney, posted fake online reviews of local businesses, and became a walking case study in what not to do when visiting another country.
Zdorovetskiy pleaded for bail, promising to remain within Metro Manila and surrender himself when required. He even assured authorities that he wouldn’t dodge deportation. But the Bureau of Immigration wasn’t having it. Commissioner Joel Viado made it clear—this isn’t just about one man or one incident. It’s about protecting the integrity of the Philippines’ immigration laws. “Foreign nationals who abuse our hospitality and violate our laws must face the consequences,” he said.
And here’s where it gets even more complicated. Both Russia, Zdorovetskiy’s country of origin, and the United States, where he holds a green card, have reportedly refused to take him back—for now at least. So, for the time being, he stays in the Philippines, facing criminal charges and a legal limbo where deportation proceedings are on hold until his cases are resolved.
It’s a bizarre twist for someone who once thrived on internet fame. What started as a brand built on pushing the envelope for laughs has spiraled into a very real cautionary tale. Fame might shield you from consequences for a while—but in the end, actions have a way of catching up. And for Zdorovetskiy, that’s no longer content for his channel. It’s now his reality.
