Vitaly Zdorovetskiy Mom Has a History of Disruption Too: Who Is She, and Is It All in Their Genes?

The Russian-born YouTuber Vitaly Zdorovetskiy remains in detention in the Philippines, and his fall from internet fame to legal trouble has been a discussion in the past few weeks. However, recently the scrutiny has not been just falling on his past pranks, but also on the people closest to him.

One name in particular who has now become the centre of this conversation is Elena Vulitsky, Vitaly's mother, who made international headlines years ago for her own disruptive stunt during a major sporting final.

While Vitaly awaits possible prosecution for a chaotic livestream incident in Manila, in which more than a dozen people were reportedly harassed in 30 minutes, attention is now turning to whether his long-running antics are a solo act or part of a family tradition of courting controversy in public.

Vitaly's Mom Has Her Own History of Public Disruption

Before Vitaly was facing charges in Southeast Asia, it was his mother, Elena Vulitsky, making headlines in her own right. During one of the most high-stakes matches in cricket history, the 2019 Cricket World Cup final between England and New Zealand at Lord's, a 47-year-old Elena Vulitsky interrupted the final by sprinting onto the field wearing a revealing black swimsuit.

Security quickly intervened, dragging her back into the stands. But not before viewers worldwide caught a glimpse of the stunt's real purpose, which was to display a promotional text emblazoned across her swimsuit for 'Vitaly Uncensored', an adult-themed prank website owned by her son.

The moment drew immediate comparisons to the Champions League final just weeks earlier, when Kinsey Wolanski, Vitaly's then-girlfriend, pulled a near-identical stunt during Liverpool's clash with Tottenham in Madrid.

Many noticed a common pattern between these events; the branding and approach were the same.

Who Is Elena Vulitsky?

Beyond the headlines, Elena Vulitsky is something of a personality in her own right. According to her Instagram profile, she is a model and social media figure. She has appeared in several of her son's videos, though often in more wholesome settings, like charity giveaways and travel vlogs.

Yet, her willingness to participate in disruptive stunts points towards the fact that she not only shares her son's love of the limelight and the 'prank' style of content, but also his disregard for conventional boundaries.

'She was advertising the same website the invader at the Champions League final promoted,' one media outlet noted, drawing a direct line between the two high-profile incidents.

Is This a Family Brand of Mayhem?

The back-to-back invasions and publicity stunts, first Vitaly's ex-girlfriend Kinsey, then his mother Elena, raise questions about whether it's a deliberate family strategy. Whether for online clout, financial gain, or personal thrill, the Zdorovetskiy circle appears more than willing to break rules in front of global audiences.

Vitaly has long been criticised for escalating his content from simple pranks to what many describe as social harassment. His current legal trouble may be the most serious consequence yet, but the signs have been there for years and reportedly not just from him.

While Vitaly sits in a holding cell awaiting due process in the Philippines, attention continues to build around the people who helped build his online persona, including his own family. And from Kinsey's pitch invasion to Elena's stunt at Lord's, it's hard to ignore the common pattern which echoes Vitaly's brand.

Whether it's genetic or simply part of a shared business promotion strategy, one thing is clear: the Vitaly brand isn't just about pranks, it's about pushing boundaries. And right now, the YouTuber is facing the real-life consequences of these outrageous public stunts.
