Russian-American YouTuber Vitaly Zdorovetskiy has been formally deported from the Philippines after completing a jail sentence linked to harassment and public order offences committed during livestreamed pranks in Manila.
Philippine immigration officials confirmed that Zdorovetskiy was physically removed from the country on 17 January 2026, when he was escorted onto a commercial flight following nearly nine months in custody. The deportation followed the resolution of all criminal cases filed against him and the issuance of a removal order by the authorities.
