The comic effect is achieved by gluing together fragments of the video clip with the presenter's comments. Four videos are selected for each episode. As a rule, each episode is named by title, plot, or key phrase from the last video (the only exception is “Very New Year’s Episode”). The shooting is done against the backdrop of a leopard-print bedspread (Internet users often call it a carpet), which Maxim used to cover the sofa with.

3: Oleg Brain

A distinctive feature of the project is the absence of obscene language. YouTube viewers perceive the blog “This is Good” as an alternative to another popular blog “+100500”. Both blogs are Russian-language analogues of the Ray William Johnson show. From the 29th issue, questions are removed rather than written. From the 48th episode of the show, it was released in HD format, and from the 55th to the 208th episode, the show began to be released with interactive subtitles in English for foreign users.

6: Maxim Tarasenko

Maxim Tarasenko, known under the pseudonym Brian, is one of the most bloggers of YouTube video bloggers, posting various funny videos on his channel. Many of Brian's haters believe that he borrowed the nickname of one of the most popular let's play players on Russian YouTube - Oleg Brain (TheBrainDit). Although it is not known exactly whether Brain borrowed the nickname from Oleg Brain or not. But the fact that the nicknames “Brain” and “Brain” are very similar tells us that Brian could have stolen Oleg’s nickname. Many also accuse Brian of being similar in the content of his videos to the most popular video blogger in the CIS - EeOneGuy (Ivangai). This is explained by the fact that in his videos, Brian also has fun in front of the camera and does not advertise anything in his videos. But this theory is refuted by the fact that Brian’s videos are to some extent educational than those of Ivangay, and the fact that Brian throughout his entire activity makes only his own content.

8: Sasha Spielberg

Sasha Spielberg is one of the most popular YouTube video bloggers. Spielberg is a pseudonym; in her own words in an interview with Media Mag magazine, she made an “agreement” with her parents that no one would know her real name in exchange for complete freedom on the Internet. Internet fame began after uploading several videos in English on YouTube. Thousands of Americans and many friends on the other side of the world subscribed to it. This noticeably increased her self-esteem and soon Sasha was only thinking about the further development of her project, ceasing to communicate with her family. Because of this, her parents decided to send her to a boarding school abroad. After arriving in Russia, she began filming videos in Russian. She has two channels on YouTube: music and vlogs.

9: Roman Filchenkov

Subsequently, video walkthroughs and other videos with similar topics appeared on his channel.

Having posted several of his videos on the YouTube channel, Lee Kei contacted CarambaTV and they offered him an affiliate program, that is, earning money through YouTube, the agreement implied that Lee must release at least one video every week on his channel. Lee agreed and invited his friend Kostik, who worked on Latvian television, to film a humorous show “At the Wall”, in the first episode of which Lee was going to tell viewers that you can bargain in stores. During the work on the video, the name of the show changed to “Project GOAT”. Over time, the themes of the releases from everyday life changed to acute social and philosophical ones.

11: Masha Wei

12: Evgeniy Bazhenov

We always knew that after the USSR disappeared, something bad happened to Russian cinema. But probably no one can talk about it the way Zhenya BadComedian does. What is a review of a “masterpiece” called “Graduation” or the film “Fast Moscow-Russia” worth? Yes, we have plenty of films that you can’t watch without laughing mixed with hellish pain. By the way, Evgen speaks frankly not only about Russian, but also about foreign cinema. And, yes, we are even ready to forgive him for his review of The Hunger Games. Although, after watching the last one, the film seems terribly illogical.

Girls who blog about fashion and style are sometimes criticized. Critics describe these girls as cute, silly fashionistas who endlessly dress up, take pictures (with the help of boyfriends) and post the photos online.

One of the most popular bloggers in the fashion industry. Suzanne is 31 and is interesting not only as the author of a blog, which she updates regularly, but also as a contributor to Elle UK and Business of Fashion.

“This is Good” is a popular Latvian Russian-language Internet show produced since October 16, 2010. The program is broadcast twice a week - on Tuesdays and Fridays.

The blog is dedicated to reviewing funny videos on the Internet, similar to the show of American columnist Ray William Johnson.

The host of the program, Stas Davydov, gives his comments on videos sent by viewers or found by them. Interaction is usually used at the end of the transmission. In the early episodes of the program, another character participated - the illuminator Nastenka (more precisely, her voice), who began to appear again from the 164th to the 178th issues. A distinctive feature of the project is the absence of obscene language. YouTube viewers perceive the blog “This is Good” as an alternative to another popular blog “+100500”. Both blogs are Russian-language analogues of the Ray William Johnson show.

From the 29th issue, questions are removed rather than written. From the 48th episode of the show, it was released in HD format, and from the 55th to the 208th episode, the show began to be released with interactive subtitles in English for foreign users.

Issues 70, 96, 141, 198 and 308 were conducted by Ruslan Usachev. This fact was not very well received by the audience - all five times the videos received much more “I didn’t like” scores than in other episodes. Most commentators considered Ruslan not artistic enough. Issues 146, 195 and 298 were conducted by Ilya Prusikin, which was also received very coldly. The 214th and 310th editions were conducted by Mikhail Krzysztowski, who was received very warmly. The 243rd episode was hosted by Lee Kei, which again received a lukewarm reception. In the 296th issue, Stas Davydov announced that he was going to write vocal parts for his new group “Banana Bomb”, and therefore in future issues he would be replaced by guest presenters. The 297th episode was hosted by Danila Poperechny, the 300th by Daniil Maslennikov, the 301st by Sam Nickel, the 302nd by Yana Nezhdanova, the 303rd by Evgeniy Zelenov, the 304th by Maxim “SnailKick” Kiselev, the 305th by Elena Rassokhina, 306th - the creator of the project Vitaly Golovanov, the 307th episode was conducted by the drawn Stas Davydov, created and voiced by Dmitry "Syenduk" Karpov, the 309th - Kirill Trifonov, Alexander Shuliko and Denis Kukoyaka, the 311th - Stas Oksaniy, and 312th - Victoria Yushkevich.

Since the 87th issue, the project has changed visually: the creators changed the inscriptions on the screen from white to gray with a white border, moved the microphone to the bottom of the frame, changed the design of the YouTube channel and the background on which the presenter is filmed, and also removed the “Spontaneous Madness Indicator” . As of episode 97, the answers to questions shown at the end of the video have been corrected. And starting from the 100th issue, the person whose interactive video question was included in the issue receives a branded T-shirt from the “This is Good” team. The design has changed again since the 270th issue: now there is a corner of the studio behind the host, the wall is white on the left, and black on the right. On the white wall, photographs of a woman’s breast and Milla Jovovich alternately appeared, then a sheet of paper pasted by Elena Rassokhina with the inscription “Stas is a fool”, whose place was then taken by a sheet of paper with a frame of Natalia Poklonskaya’s speech at a press conference.

YouTube is no longer just entertainment for schoolchildren, but a real political tool: in recent months, even oppositionist Alexei Navalny and oligarch Alisher Usmanov have become video bloggers. At the same time, it is not they who are gaining millions of views, but young people playing video games, performing stand up and making videos on how to apply cosmetics correctly. The first place in the top 100 of Russian YouTube is occupied by “EeOneGuy” (Ivangai) - the channel of 21-year-old video blogger Ivan Rudsky, who has already collected more than 11.6 million subscribers with videos about his life and earned money to move to Los Angeles!

According to unconfirmed information, Sasha Spielberg’s father is Alexander Balkovsky, co-owner of the Z-Agency studio (a division of Timur Bekmambetov’s film company Bazelevs, which deals with advertising and promotion on social networks and YouTube). On Russian YouTube, there is an opinion that Sasha Spielberg is not a “blogger of the people,” but simply a successfully completed social project of her father, whose business is affiliated with the authorities. Hardcore YouTubers are sure that Spielberg’s subscribers are screwed, because many of her videos receive more dislikes than likes.

Now Sasha Spielberg films and uploads videos on her channel about how she spends hours playing The Sims, discusses where she gets so many strange cosmetics from, shares her dreams, and also publishes her videos.

Speaking of dreams: two months ago Sasha posted one of the most talked about videos - bathing in a bathtub with chips. In the video, Spielberg admits that it was her dream to bathe in her favorite chips.

With him in April, Sasha Spielberg wrote a mi-mi-mi-blog, where she asked the minister about her first kiss and, at the same time, actively supported the projects of the Ministry of Culture.

On May 22, Sasha Spielberg made a triumphant speech from the State Duma rostrum. Many bloggers on YouTube, journalists and ordinary viewers criticized the girl and even accused her of hypocrisy. Thus, Sasha Spielberg stated that she has been “transparent since she was 13 years old” and actively communicates with her subscribers, which is what she recommended to the people’s representatives. It’s just that on Sasha Spielberg’s YouTube channel all comments are closed, as well as on her other social networks.

Most popular video: video in a duet with the famous DJ Leonid Rudenko “Melt the Ice”. The clip was watched by 11.9 million people.

Quote:“I’m not a supporter of extremes... rallies over the fact that someone is wearing yellow sneakers” (about Alexei Navalny’s FBK investigative film “He’s Not Dimon to You”).

Quote:“My secret is that I simply have an unbreakable belief in myself, and no one has ever been able to prove to me that I can’t do something. I am Nikolai Sobolev. And I can do anything!”

Yury Khovansky

Who it: 27-year-old video blogger, the first stand-up comedian on the RuNet, one of the judges of Versus Battle, an aspiring rapper.

Yuri Khovansky's VKontakte page

Number of subscribers: 2.8 million people.

What he became famous for: Initially, his stand-up show “Russian Stand-up” was not very popular, but with the support of video blogger Ilya Maddison and thanks to a huge number of conflicts, Khovansky gradually acquired an audience of millions.

Khovansky is one of the most scandalous bloggers on the Runet. He publicly insulted Viktor Tsoi and Pot. In 2014, after a spat on Twitter, he called out Black Star Inc label member Christina Si on Versus. Instead of a battle, the girl recorded a video “Yurik”, which received almost 5.8 million views, with the message “You went against the Armenians in vain.” Later, Khovansky said that Christina “set” the “Armenian mafia” on him - two guys beat him in the front door.

In addition to the scandal with Christina Si, Khovansky has a protracted conflict with Noize MC. The performer did not react to this for a long time, but during Versus Main Event 2, which took place on the roof of a high-rise building in St. Petersburg, Noize approached and hit the comedian in the face. Khovansky tried to answer, but they were quickly separated. This did not stop Yura, he continues to dedicate video clips to Noize MC.

Khovansky has a serious conflict with video blogger Dmitry Larin. After a series of mutual insults, the climax of their showdown was battle lisping Khovansky with burry Larin at the Versus site. The video unexpectedly became the second most popular during the entire existence of the project (currently the number of video views is 31.3 million). Khovansky emerged victorious from the fight: all three judges gave him the championship.

Main features: Khovansky is a well-known lover of beer and alcohol in general (he drinks in almost all videos, he even hosts a show about cocktails, Russian Drink Time).

Most popular video: the release of Versus appeared on the Internet in March 2016, and already in October Khovansky imagined himself to be a real rapper and, in the wake of the hype, recorded a video "Dad is in the building" with 27.8 million views. This is currently the most popular video on his channel.

In November, Yura made a diss track against Noize MC "Noise"(almost 14.2 million more views). This caused a negative reaction from the popular rapper Oxxxymiron: who had previously been on friendly terms with Khovansky, Miron wrote on Twitter that Yura “played too much” and “a blogger, in principle, cannot present anything to a creator (even a weak one) on his own field.” Yura also benefited from this situation - he shot an ironic video "Forgive me, Oksimiron"- almost 25.9 million views.

Two more of Khovansky’s videos have about 14 million views. This is a parody of the song “The Ice Is Melting” - “And Khovansky drinks beer” and a joint video with Dmitry Malikov “Ask Your Mom”.

Political position: Khovansky noted that one cannot be apolitical to everything that happens, while it is very difficult for a creative person to speak out without being accused of “excessive opposition or, on the contrary, Putinism.” “I don’t understand how people have so much time to look for political subtext in any nonsense,” said the video blogger.

At the same time, he has a comic song about Putin with the words “Putin is the start of censorship on the Internet, Putin is the best thing on the planet.”

In June 2014, Khovansky was the author of a petition to the Ministry of Health demanding that Russian State Duma deputy Elena Mizulina be checked for mental health because of her “absurd bills,” including statements from the cycle “to ban absolutely everything on the Internet.” In a short time, the petition received more than 116 thousand signatures.

Quote:"I'll be a gangster!"

Eldar Dzharakhov

Who it: 22-year-old video blogger, musician.

Dzharakhov publishes lifestyle blogs, records sketches, shoots video clips as part of the “Successful Group” and the “Click-Clack” team with Ilyich (Little big). A month ago I participated in Versus BPM with another video blogger - Dmitry Larin (the third most popular battle in the history of Versus - 19.3 million views). The victory was not awarded to anyone (but, in our humble opinion, Dzharakhov won - Larin constantly forgot the words, missed the beats and eventually gave birth to a new meme about 2015).

Eldar Dzharakhov's VKontakte page

Number of subscribers: about 1.8 million people (another 2.2 million people are channel subscribers "Successful group", which included Dzharakhov and his friend Alexander Smirnov - Sasha Tilex).

What he became famous for: The first success came to Dzharakhov and Tileks in 2012, when they recorded the anthem of the popular public “MDK” (more than 6 million views on YouTube) and the community began to support young performers.

Political position: on Twitter in March, Dzharakhov advised subscribers to show their parents “a film about Dimon” if they had not already seen it. He called Navalny’s election campaign... (awesome), noting that it was “interesting to watch.” He expressed surprise that the media were silent about the rallies that took place in the country on March 26.

Eldar Dzharakhov was associated with the reason for the removal of the video “Hitler 1945/Navalny 2018 - We can repeat it!” from YouTube. His representative denied Eldar’s connection with the creation and deletion of the video.

Druzhko Show

Who it: 48-year-old Sergei Druzhko made a bomb comeback. Do you remember his imperishable program on TNT “Inexplicable, but true”, where Druzhko with a poker face talked about UFOs and the humanoid Alyoshenka? In April 2017, Sergey Druzhko became the host on the YouTube channel Druzhko Show (the production of which is indirectly supported by Life). In the show, Druzhko actually parodies himself. He speaks deliberately seriously about frivolous and sometimes stupid trends on the Internet. Sergei Druzhko is looking for mysticism and universal conspiracy everywhere and closely monitors fluctuations on the memes exchange.

Sergei Druzhko's VKontakte page

What he became famous for: criticism of other video bloggers. His first surge in popularity came from a video about Andrei Nefedov.

Larin gained real fame after a conflict with video blogger Yuri Khovansky. Larin also competed against Eldar Dzharakhov (with Khovansky and Dzharakhov there were Versus battles with millions of views) and Nikolai Sobolev (the latter even recorded a video challenging Larin to a battle, but Dmitry refused).

Main features: burr, the image of an intellectual, bile and cynicism, classic suits.

Most popular video:#LARINPOTIV - Yuri Khovansky's video challenge on Versus, received more than 19 million views.

Political position: called the cult of Victory in the Great Patriotic War “terrible.” He stated that he supported the accusations in the situation with the case of blogger Ruslan Sokolovsky. “The law is the law, whatever it may be,” noted Larin.

At the end of May 2017, in one of his streams he refused to talk about the authorities and Alexei Navalny. “I don’t care about politics,” Larin said. He does not consider it right to “instill a subjective opinion regarding such large-scale processes,” since many people listen to him.

Quote:“I despise you, scum.”

Khach's Diary

Who it: 31-year-old Amiran Sardarov is, according to some sources, a Yazidi Kurd by nationality. He is very proud of his origins. Sardarov does not have a school certificate - he completed only three grades of primary school.

In June 2015, he created a channel where he began to tell subscribers in a diary format about his life together with his best friends T-Killah (singer Alexander Tarasov) and Oleg Miami.

Sardarov, Tarasov and Miami film their dialogues, reviews of new sports cars, interviews with successful businessmen and media managers. In the “Diary of a Vacationer” section, Tarasov and Miami talk about travel. At the same time, Sardarov has not been able to obtain Russian citizenship for several years and has never been abroad.

Amiran Sardarov often holds charity events, helps children with incurable diseases, gives them gifts, organizes holidays, concerts or races for them in evening Moscow.

Number of subscribers: 2 million people.

Main features: Amiran Sardarov wears exclusively black and white T-shirts of the same model, drives a blue BMW i8, dates only girls of model appearance, and denies love.

Amiran Sardarov's laughter is like the cry of a wounded seagull. It's so funny that the blogger created another channel in 2015 "Chaika Warehouse", where he uploads backstage from video filming for the main channel.

Amiran Sardarov launched a flash mob #daihachu some time ago, attracting famous people to interviews. The founder of the media holding NewsMedia (Life) Aram Gabrelyanov and the head of Tinkoff Bank Oleg Tinkov have already given the idea.

Most popular video: Amiran and T-Killah’s video “It’s normal” - 17.5 million views.

BadComedian

Who it: Evgeny Bazhenov is a 26-year-old video blogger, film critic, and stand-up comedian. He created the YouTube channel in 2011. Bazhenov shows reviews of domestic and (much less often) foreign films. The tone of all BadComedian reviews is critical. Most often, the blogger unleashes a barrage of criticism on comedies directed by Zhora Kryzhovnikov and films starring actor and bodybuilder Alexander Nevsky.

It’s safe to say that BadComedian is now the main film critic of Russian YouTube.

What he became famous for: openly speaks his opinion about Russian films. Not everyone liked such frankness.

According to the study, the most influential girl on YouTube was TheKateClapp. Just recently, the number of subscribers to the channel, where Katya talks about her life, jokes and holds competitions for subscribers, exceeded 4 million people. There are only 39 female vloggers in the world with the same number of fans. The calculations took into account not only the number of subscribers, but also reach, audience involvement and channel activity - more than 10 different criteria in total.

Second place went to the video blogger Estonia. The girl has been blogging since 2011 and makes videos about cosmetics, makeup and style. The third place was the channel Maria Way. The girl believes that “beauty is our main weapon” and tells her subscribers how to do makeup correctly.

Channels of the most influential female video bloggers on YouTube:

By the beginning of 2016, the number of Russian-language channels run by women on YouTube increased by more than 30% compared to the beginning of 2015. And over the past two years, the number of female video bloggers has increased by 60%! Looks like there's a new trend in the virtual space! And we would like girls to become more and more interested in YouTube.

Most channels are dedicated to traditional topics for women: beauty, fitness, children, hobbies, etc. The most popular topics are arts and entertainment, followed by beauty and fitness, and then hobbies and leisure. However, recently, girls are increasingly publishing videos on other topics. For example, there are now twice as many channels about computers and electronics as there are about home and garden. On YouTube you will find more than 200 channels of Russian-speaking girl gamers. Most popular channel - https://www.youtube.com/user/NatalisGame NatalisGame- watched by almost 400 thousand subscribers.

Even in such traditional topics as cooking, a blogger can find his own unique niche and become popular. For example, a cooking channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCflg-NfrTHq3DN8Lza-NS9g KuhnyaShow gained 80,000 subscribers in just 30 days thanks to a focus on very simple recipes. Nastya Rubik, the creator of the channel, has been filming and publishing videos for several years. She experimented with different genres: from travel videos to video blogs. And just recently she found her goldmine: videos with simple snack recipes. In the three most popular videos, Nastya invites viewers to use only a microwave oven: with its help they can cook
