vladislav galkin -lrb- 25 december 1971 -- 25 february 2010 -rrb- was a highly popular russian actor who starred in fifty seven films including several tv serials , such as `` spetsnaz '' -lrb- 2002 -rrb- , `` the master and margarita '' -lrb- 2005 -- 2006 -rrb- and `` dikari '' -lrb- 2006 -rrb- .
on 27 february 2010 , galkin was found dead in his apartment , and the cause of death was said to be cardiac arrest .
however , according to his family and friends , he was murdered based on evidence indicating the presence of other people in his room just before his death and the disappearance of $ 130,000 from his apartment .
the police -lrb- militsiya -rrb- dismissed this version .
galkin 's death was mourned by many who demanded finding those responsible for his death .
for millions of viewers , especially those outside russia , galkin is remembered as the poet ivan bezdomny -lrb- homeless -rrb- in vladimir bortko 's much lauded film version of mikhail bulgakov 's epic novel the master and margarita .
in the bortko film series , the character bezdomny witnesses the murder -lrb- of sorts -rrb- of his friend .
when he tries to tip off the authorities to the improbable sequence of events , their reaction is to lock him up in a mental hospital .
subsequent events vindicate bezdomny , and he eventually comes to be at peace with the suffering he was caused , in part thanks to his increased understanding gained in visits from the master .
