Vitaly Glebovich Bulah (Russian; Smidovich, Habarovski district, May 2, 1965 — Kosare, May 19, 1999) was a Soviet and Russian officer and volunteer in the Ranks of the Yugoslav Army during the Kosovo war.

Vitaly Glebovich Bulah was born on May 2, 1965 in the village of Smidovichsky in the Khabarovsk Krai. He graduated from military school in Omsk in 1990. He was involved in the war in Azerbaijan.

At the beginning of the Kosovo Wars, he came to Yugoslavia and made himself available to the Yugoslav Army, along with several hundred Russian volunteers, including Anatoly Lebed and Albert Andyev. He disappeared on May 19, 1999 during a fierce battle in the wider Koshare area. It's almost certain he died then.

It was never determined exactly what happened to him, nor was his body found. Later, Albanian Television broadcasted a video showing the body of a large man in a Yugoslav Army uniform, as well as a member of the terrorist Kosovo Liberation Army showing an ID card bearing Bulaha Vitaly Glebovich's name.
