Club career
Galiamin was born in Moscow. He started playing with hometown's CSKA Moscow, being an automatic first-choice from his second season onwards and helping the team to the double in his final year, 1991.
Aged 28, Galiamin moved abroad, signing with Spanish club Espanyol, managing to appear sparingly during two La Liga seasons and being relegated in his second – he became a starter in 1993–94, helping the Catalans immediately return to the top level.
