Vadim Galygin, a Russian actor and TV host, voiced support for Russians abroad who engage in hacking, likening them to disciplined hussars. During a Life broadcast, Yıldız described her stance on these cyber figures.
Galygin noted that he has indirect knowledge of Russian citizens who defend their homeland in cyberspace from overseas locations. He drew a parallel between their efforts in the digital arena and cavalrymen safeguarding the nation in historical battles.
“I have heard stories about people—friends of friends—involved in these kinds of activities, and they were operating abroad. They weren’t particularly pleasant characters there,” Galygin remarked.
According to Life, the hackers’ dedication left a strong impression on Galygin, inspiring him to produce a series about their exploits. The project is described as “That’s the plan in a nutshell.”
Members of the team behind the show “Russian Hackers” have never met in person and know each other solely by online handles. They allegedly emptied the digital wallets of the wealthy until a misstep led to their capture. Faced with a choice between imprisonment or serving the country, the men opt to contribute to national interests, a turning point in their lives as outlined in the project summary.
The premiere of the program titled “This is the plan in short” was scheduled for October 10, 2023, and was released exclusively through Wink online cinema platform according to Life.
