Article prepared by resource "How Celebrities Have Changed"

Nikolai Sobolev carried out a large-scale hoax: first he announced the beating, and a day later - about the production. Not just for the sake of the hype: the main Runet blogger admitted that he wanted to show how easy it is to spread fake news in our time. The idea is noble, but it seems that this is just a screen to pay off past sins.

On June 3, a note appeared on Nikolai Sobolev's page: "I'm going to record a video in the studio." The news is actually atypical: the king of Russian YouTube never makes such announcements - if a blogger is going to record something, no one knows about it.

After a couple of hours, muddy videos are scattered across the Internet: they do not clearly show how aggressive young people attack Nikolai, accusing him of hype. After some time, on Sobolev's page crawls out new post: the creator of the most famous author's program admits that he was beaten. The incident allegedly took place near famous studio, in which the same brick wall is located: Purulent's diss "lit up" the location, and it was not difficult for ill-wishers to track down the star of the Russian "YouTube".

The Internet has exploded. Someone condoled with Sobolev: to beat is the last thing, no matter what the person is. Someone openly sneered. Someone doubted aloud: too minor injuries, like makeup. However, no one remembered two important things. The first - Sobolev walks with two guards, who are not on the video. The second - once this person gave the Russian language the words "prank" and "staging".

A day after the incident, a new video is released on Sobolev's channel. The hero of youth appears in black: the face is closed sunglasses, on the body is a severe suit, and that very wall is not even visible - it has disappeared into the darkness. Sobolev crucifies himself for a long time, as he became a victim of a beating, periodically takes off his glasses, showing his bruised face. And by the middle of the video, he admits: yes, no one beat him. The blogger wanted to check how easy it is to deceive people, and in general, this whole story is just an introductory chapter to a general investigation into mystification and the spread of fakes in the media.

“The purpose of this experiment was to clearly show how easy it is to make a false stuffing in our time. - said Nikolai Sobolev about his imaginary beating.

The event is truly unique. There were staged beatings before Nikolai, but he became the first who not only publicly admitted this, but also managed to use it for his own good. But the main thing is that six months ago it was Sobolev who was one of the main drivers of the spread of a false rumor about hundreds of deaths in the Winter Cherry. "The authorities are hiding?" - asked the blogger's most scandalous video, in which the YouTuber frankly assured that there were not 67 dead in the Kemerovo shopping center, as it seemed then, but more, much more.

As we know, the rumors were not confirmed - there were 60 dead. Sobolev drowned in dislikes and accusations, including from Purulent. It was, perhaps, the strongest reputational damage in the career of the co-founder of "Rakamakafo" - the blogger deleted the video and apologized for a long time afterwards. However, it is not so easy to erase people's memory: if the hysterical Khovansky could get away with this, then such actions are clearly contraindicated for the luminary of Russian YouTube, the main intellectual and truth-seeker.

Now Sobolev has declared war on what he himself got himself into not so long ago. Is there a subtle note of hypocrisy here? Or does the hypnotist simply want to remind about his person once again, but under a plausible screen? We understand.

Fake to fake

Colleagues did not fully appreciate Sobolev's zeal. In their opinion, he is exactly the person that the masquerading aggressors called the blogger - a hype. They also doubted the methods of Nikolai - it is somehow strange to fight fake news through the production of fake news. For example, Varlamov said that "Sobolev made our life a little more dangerous." And a well-deserved veteran of the YouTube scene, Ruslan Usachev, made a video "Sobolev is wrong, and that's why," where he explained why Nikolai's provocation was a bad idea.

"The question is who can be trusted - the media or bloggers, it is complex and even philosophical. This is not something that can be sorted out with one prank or a social experiment, no. And Sobolev's performance in best case didn't change anything. And at worst, he only spoiled it, "- a blogger about the alleged beating of Sobolev.

But, as much as one would like, the co-founder of "Rakamakafo" is not as simple as it seems. The beating prank is not just an attempt to catch up on the hype. Although this too.

fake beatings

For the first time, Roma Zhelud, who is now completely forgotten, resorted to this method: the “Russian Justin Bieber” pretended to be beaten by posting a minute video. In the video, an unhappy and profusely made-up young man wept, saying he was "sorry." The Internet was not so sophisticated and cynical then, so they believed the blogger, even launching the epoch-making hashtag #Romazhivi. After some time, they began to perceive him exclusively sarcastically, but, believe me, at the initial stage, thousands of guys and girls (mostly girls, of course) quite sincerely put these words after the bars. Who knew that the Acorn, which is losing popularity, is simply "bringing a signature."

Since then, whoever has played fake beatings - from Purulent to Pug, but Firamir did the best: the Novosibirsk child prodigy pretended that he was being pursued by Ukrainian bandits, Russian security forces and just haters. The guy even broke his arm almost in live(while he was streaming). True, the bandage right hand now and then migrated to the left. Yes and general level performance clearly made it clear that the whole story with the attack was covered with white threads. A little later, in an interview with Life, producer Firamira admitted that they simply launched a reality show without warning anyone. Therefore, the level of shock in the then YouTube was prohibitive: just a man was quietly streaming Minecraft, and now he is being killed on the air every week.

The imaginary beating brought Sobolev its dividends. Not to say that the blogger was doing poorly, but the videos began to gain less: over four million views, only the tracks and the very ill-fated issue about Kemerovo stepped over. Even heavy artillery in the form of Shurygina and the blocking of the "Telegram" did not help. But the video about the attack on Sobolev collected the coveted four million clicks in less than a week. And again spurred interest in the prankster.

However, Sobolev's approach is radically different. If Acorn pretended to the last that he was beaten, and Firamir immediately began to play the fool, then Nikolai made a kind of squeeze out of two ways: first he played the drama professionally, and then pretended to be an experimenter. The blogger, of course, is not the first time, and it is not surprising that the production turned out to be plus or minus reliable. And we would not have paid attention if he started this business just for the sake of hype. However, Sobolev has taken on the mission of "highlighting the problem of fake news", and there are several questions here.

Who will save the watchmen

When journalist Arkady Babchenko played a prank on the public own death, the International Union of Journalists spoke in the spirit that he should be punished: they say, he makes us fools. So it is: today any media, even the largest and most respected, can run into fake news, safely posting it. And it's not about laziness or unprofessionalism of today's journalism - it's just that the world is too big, you can't check everything. Sobolev took up this super-relevant topic and, perhaps, as a YouTube master, he really could say something important.

But the YouTuber took the path of least resistance, simply catching up on views and drawing attention to his already bored person. Sobolev did nothing new and relevant. Okay, I identified the problem, and then what? How to solve it? Does Nikolai have any suggestions or at least thoughts?

No, of course not - the blogger took the mouthpiece, yelled into it and left, deciding that his job was done. Everyone can scream loudly - thanks, we are aware that there is a distribution problem false information. Thank you for reminding me about the viruses from Samburskaya, Svetlakov and the same Acorn. Thank you for reminding me about the interview with the "line ambulance doctor" from Kemerovo, whom you, Kolya, quoted so happily. Thanks for saying the obvious. But what to do next? Sobolev has no answer, moreover, he does not think for a second about finding this answer. After all, this will not bring likes, bells and subscriptions. Why bother then?

But even in this area - drawing attention to the problem - the blogger managed, as they say, to "get bored". Agree, it is strange to shout about the spread of fake news when you yourself are the source of this news. In pursuit of popularity, Sobolev did not hesitate to replicate idiotic rumors about those who died in Kemerovo - and now he is ready to take on cleanliness on the Web. Seriously?

It turns out that the "fighter with fakes" is an ordinary hypocrite: having burned out in Kemerovo, he undertakes to put out fires, which he himself provokes. It's okay, a public figure needs to somehow wash off shame. However, there is another point. The boy who had been yelling about wolves for a long time ended up waiting for them. We sincerely hope that this fate will not visit the prankster, but still: do not pretend that you are being beaten. Because if (when) it really happens, no one will come to the rescue.

The blogger exposed himself as a funny liar, to whom likes are more important than people's emotions - well, please. We will survive another fake and another viral video - but Sobolev is probably gone. It will evaporate like tears in the rain while the rest of the "fake" world moves on.

AT modern world in order to earn decent money, it is not necessary to disappear in the office all day. One way to earn money is to blog on the Internet and shoot videos. What it brings real earnings, Nikolai Sobolev proved by his own example.

This guy was born in St. Petersburg in an intelligent family. Since childhood, he thought to connect his future with sports. Nikolay was seriously engaged in martial arts for several years, but the resulting injury forced him to say goodbye to his dream.

While studying at the institute, the guy became interested in bodybuilding. He developed his own training system, and soon his weight reached 100 kilograms. Believing in the success of his system, Nikolai planned to become a fitness trainer. It was in the plans until he became interested in shooting commercials.

Now the guy leads three YouTube channels and has a large army of subscribers. It is not surprising that with such popularity, the charming blogger has no end to fans. But, despite this, Nikolai says that if he falls in love, then this is not for one day. And judging by his relationship, he does not cheat.

The blogger's first relationship began at the age of 16. His girlfriend's name was Anna. Nicholas does not expand on that period of his life. The journalists failed to find out where and how they met the girl, and also why they broke up. It is only known that their relationship lasted almost a year and a half.

Much more is known about the second girl of Nikolai Sobolev, Yana Khanikeryan. She, like the guy, is a well-known blogger on the Internet. The girl posts her videos on Instagram and has already gathered a considerable army of subscribers there.

With their beloved, they repeatedly appeared together in commercials. They were considered the most beautiful couple on Instagram. But after 3.5 years of relationship, the couple broke up. Moreover, young people did not comment on this matter. Fans learned about this from the same videos, or rather, by the fact that Yana stopped filming with Nikolai.

Nikolai Sobolev also met his new girlfriend thanks to his work. She and her partner were filming another video when a pretty brunette approached them. She asked permission to take a picture with Nikolai. He didn't mind. He thought to himself that this beautiful girl who has ever been photographed with him.

After shooting the video, the frame with the photo was decided not to be cut. And Nikolai still could not forget this girl. He wished he knew her name and exchanged phone numbers with her. But then luck smiled at him. His video with the photographing scene was seen by his participant and left a comment. Thus began the communication of Nikolai Sobolev with Polina Chistyakova.

Blogger's personal life

Now Polina Chistyakova occupies an important place in the life and heart of a blogger. Nikolai Sobolev affectionately calls his girlfriend a bun. Together they shoot videos, take pictures and travel a lot. Gossips claim that the girl is next to Nikolai because of his popularity. However, Polina independently maintains her blog on Instagram and has many subscribers.

A good income for the girl of Nikolai Sobolev is brought by advertising of various cosmetic brands on the pages of his blog. Therefore, Polina is completely financially independent and popular.

Polina Chistyakova studied at the Northwestern Institute of Management in St. Petersburg. She graduated from the department of PR and advertising with honors. At the same time, nature rewarded her with unique external data, so it is not surprising that the girl tried herself in the modeling business.

To date, Polina sometimes participates in shows. She spends most of her time next to her beloved and helps him with filming. The couple does not hide their personal lives and willingly demonstrates in in social networks joint photos from the holiday. Polina and Nikolai have been together for 5 years.

Young people have been asked more than once about when they are planning a wedding. Nikolai Sobolev said that he was already ready for this responsible step. He wants to create a strong family. And recently he confirmed his words with deeds. Naturally, fans learned about it from social networks.

Interesting Notes:

First, Polina posted several photos on Instagram in wedding dresses. She asked subscribers to help her with the choice. Questions immediately began pouring in about when the wedding was planned. A video from Nikolai appeared next, in which he demonstrates a beautiful wedding ring with white gold diamond.

According to some reports, the wedding was scheduled for August 1, 2018. The celebration was planned to be held in Dubai, but for some reason it did not take place. However, this does not mean that the couple broke up. They are together and personal life already planned for 5 years ahead. It is during this period of time that they plan to have children.

To find out how it will actually be and whether their plans will come true, fans will have to wait. In addition, most likely, Polina Chistyakova and Nikolai Sobolev will talk about it personally. All news about them can be found on social networks.

Kolya Sobolev was born in St. Petersburg on June 19, 1993. Nikolai grew up as a very energetic boy. At school, the boy attended the amateur theater. Among his peers, he stood out with a constructive outlook on life and a craving for public speaking. He also played music, sports and gave concerts in a cabaret.

The guys confess that by their own deeds they are trying to convey to people how not to be bitter and indifferent. With the help of videos, the guys demonstrate the difficulties that exist in the current world.

A curious case, a video in which Nikolai and Guram pester passers-by with obscene proposals, was created for fifteen days. And this happened because the guys could not decide for a long time, because they were too ashamed. And so a year later, there were more than one million subscribers on this channel.
