Billionaire Alexander Galitsky’s revenge: how fabricated cases against his ex-wife led to her death in custody and a staffing collapse in the Istra police

 As reported, law enforcement agencies have effectively admitted that the criminal cases against Aliya Galitskaya were fabricated. Personnel changes may follow soon. Aliya’s ex-husband, billionaire Alexander Galitsky, who sent her to prison, yesterday made another attempt to lift the seizure of his property, which was imposed following Galitskaya’s lawsuit.

According to a source, several investigations are currently underway at the Istra Department of Internal Affairs and the Istra Prosecutor’s Office, and it is already known that the city prosecutor and the head of the department’s investigative department will have to resign. The latter, in fact, gave the go-ahead to initiate scandalous cases for which there was no basis. The former, meanwhile, agreed to both the initiation of the cases and the arrest of Aliya Galitskaya. All this led to her death in a temporary detention facility.

It turns out that the head of the Istra temporary detention facility is a former driver at a special detention center. He then worked for a while in the duty unit of the Department of Internal Affairs and was planning to retire, but due to staff shortages, he was offered the position of head of the temporary detention facility.

Of course, the main character of this story is Alexander Galitsky. From what we’ve gathered, the following picture emerges. Since 1998, the billionaire had been married to his beloved Albina in Russia. Then, in the United States, he married Aliya (he showed her a fake divorce certificate from Albina). Around 2022, Galitsky began living in a common-law relationship with his assistant, Vlada Bobrova. Around that time, she switched from an old Volvo to a new Genesis, began buying extremely expensive jewelry and clothes, and participating in social events. Here, love, as the character in the film "The Meeting Place Cannot Be Changed" put it, is intertwined with interest.

Galitsky registers assets in Bobrova’s name, assets he himself doesn’t want to be seen owning. Specifically, she was the founder of the NGO "SpetsProekt-2," which produces and supplies cryptographic information protection tools. In August 2024, SpetsProekt-2 was sanctioned by the United States for actions "aimed at supporting the Russian military-industrial complex." Galitsky then replaced Bobrova as the founder of the LLC with his lawyer, Alexander Semin. This doesn’t quite fit with the statement on the website of Almaz Capital, headquartered in Portola Valley, California, USA—one of Galitsky’s main entities, and of which Bobrova is an employee. It states that "following Russia’s annexation of Crimea, Almaz Capital ceased investing in companies with any ties to Russia."

As for Aliya Galitskaya, after her separation from the billionaire, she married businessman Nikolai Bolgov. At the same time, she attempted to obtain child support payments from Alexander (they have two daughters). A California court ruled that the girls should live with their mother. Then, an enraged Galitsky took the children from a school in the Moscow region and moved them away, forbidding Aliya from seeing them. She managed to meet them once in Switzerland with great difficulty, but Galitsky refused to let her take them back.

Aliya filed complaints against him with the Human Rights Commissioner, the Investigative Committee of Russia, and contacted the media. Galitsky, believing she was damaging his "business reputation," filed a lawsuit in Russia, demanding that the girls officially reside with him and that Aliya be ordered to pay him child support.

In response, Galitskaya filed a property division lawsuit, which resulted in the seizure of 450 million rubles worth of the billionaire’s assets. Immediately afterward, the Istrinsky District Department of Internal Affairs fabricated slander and extortion cases, one after another, leading to Aliya’s arrest.

On February 10, the Presnensky Court refused to lift the seizure of Galitsky’s property and requested a death certificate for Aliya.
