- 2 How did Vadim Abramov end up in Russia and where is he now?
Not much is known about Abramov. He was born in Kyiv, received his higher education at the Kyiv Polytechnic Institute, Faculty of Management and Marketing. In 2009, he worked as a DJ and participated in theater performances. The Russian public first met him when Vadim became the host of a comedy show on the air of “Pyatnitsa!” in Russia. And two years later, he appeared in the program “Revisor” instead of Olga Freimut. Channel 24 will tell you what is known about his status as a traitor and where he is now.
Career in Ukraine and escape to Russia
Abramov worked at “Revizor” only until 2016, when he announced that he was moving abroad, which made his participation in the project impossible. It was not specified where exactly the man went.
I am very glad that two and a half years ago I became part of the team of the “Revisor” project. It was a bright period of my life – I met many kind and responsible people all over the country who care about Ukraine and the order in it. I gained invaluable experience. But circumstances have developed in such a way that I am leaving the country, and accordingly, I will not be able to devote enough time to filming,
– the presenter said then.

Abramov also tried to develop his own project on YouTube in the format of a travel show, but it didn't work out. After a while, he disappeared from the public space altogether.
Earlier, before the start of the great war, Hanna Zhyzha said that Vadim was a “man of the world” and now he is the editor of many reality shows abroad. But in 2022, the former “Revisor” somehow became famous in Russia.
How did Vadim Abramov end up in Russia and where is he now?
How the TV presenter exchanged international projects for work in an aggressor country is unknown. In 2022, he began working on the channel “Pyatnitsa!”, which is part of the media holding “Gazprom-Media” (which, in turn, is under sanctions by Ukraine, the USA and Canada).
But this is not the end of his appearances on Russian channels. For example, in 2023, Abramov starred in the entertainment show “Four Cottages”. This is something like a mix of the programs “Four Weddings” and “Inspector”. Remembering the old days, the TV presenter was not shy about driving along the roads of the aggressor country and inspecting the estates of the participants.

Today, the traitor deleted his social media. Perhaps he was afraid of condemnation from Ukrainians, who knows. Because of this, it is unknown where Abramov is now and whether he continues to earn bloody rubles. However, this is not very important, because he showed his true face when he kept quiet about the war and returned to the screens of Russians.
