Vitaly Faces Deportation to Russia After Grueling Jail Experience

Banned Kick streamer and YouTuber Vitaly Zdorovetskiy, known for his controversial content, faces deportation to Russia. His legal troubles began in 2025 when he was arrested in the Philippines. His charges stemmed from a series of livestreams where he engaged in behavior deemed inappropriate, including harassment and theft.

Details of Arrest and Detention

Vitaly’s arrest attracted significant media attention. Detained for several months, he experienced poor conditions that were described by legal experts as “jail hell.” Reports indicated he was placed in a shared cell without air conditioning, with temperatures averaging around 97°F. His meals consisted of inexpensive options, costing about $1.20 for three daily servings.

Legal Proceedings

On January 15, 2026, the Philippine Bureau of Immigration announced that the Taguig City Regional Trial Court had resolved all criminal cases against Zdorovetskiy. Having served his sentence, he is now eligible for deportation back to Russia.
