Nikolai Sobolev is handsome. Lies and staging. How is Sobolev trying to cleanse himself of the shame with Winter Cherry? Nikolai Sobolev's book "YouTube: The Path to Success"
Nikolai Sobolev in just two months became one of the most discussed bloggers in the country, and all because he honestly spoke about that scandalous. Then, in February, we recall, Diana accused 21-year-old Sergei Semyonov of rape, although the testimony of witnesses spoke of the guy's innocence, and Diana herself was confused about what she said to Andrei Malakhov on the air of the program “Let them talk”. Kolya recorded several revealing videos and even took part in the filming of the show, where he expressed everything he thought about Diana in person. The number of Sobolev's subscribers jumped up to three million. But he appeared on YouTube much earlier. First, as part of the Rakamakafo team (with a friend Guram, the guys put on social experiments and pranks - they played people on the streets), and then they did it solo. Kolya told PEOPLETALK how he became a blogger and what plans he has on television.
I was born in St. Petersburg and have lived there all my life. My mother is a pianist at the Mariinsky Theater. And dad graduated from the Makarov School and spent five years sailing, then worked in a bank, and then became an entrepreneur - for 15 years he has been in the souvenir business. As a child, I did not have a clear goal in life: like everyone else, I said that I wanted to become a president, and then an astronaut. At the age of seven I started singing and then I wanted to become a professional artist. True, I had dubious idols: at that time I was not yet a young man, plus I listened to classical music and opera. At school I sang at all concerts, and in 10-11 grades I played in the theater. Then in one of the productions I was noticed by the owner of a local club. She said: "Let's give you a recital?" I performed, sang 20 compositions, and through friends the cabaret director contacted me, invited me to perform on a regular basis - so I worked for a year and a half.

In general, I had different hobbies. I went in for sports and was the champion of St. Petersburg in karate. Then I was engaged in typing for three years and also vocals. And then he entered the St. Petersburg Polytechnic University at the Faculty of Economics and Management. There he met Guram. He once sent me a foreign prank and suggested: "Let's do something like that." This is how the Rakamakafo project was born, and we became the most popular prankers in Russia.
At Rakamakafo, we did social experiments: we tested how people would react to certain situations. We imitated the sounds of rape in a car, tried to steal a child in front of adults, and asked a teenager to shoot cigarettes from passers-by.
The shooting of the project did not go without scandals. Once, for example, we sat in the bullpen all night. Then we did an experiment: we allegedly kidnapped a person from a bus stop. We were immediately seized and thrown into a cell, and at four o'clock in the morning a prostitute was hooked up with us ...

We made a very cool experiment "A person is bad". Filmed in two countries - America and Russia. As a result, it turned out that in Russia no one wanted to help strangers on the street, but in the USA they came to help very often. After we released the video, there was a general hysteria: television called it anti-propaganda of Russia. Although it was a call to be more responsive.
Of course, this prank was repeated in every city in the country. It collected five million views in three days! I saw him everywhere, he was re-posted by Alexey Navalny, Pavel Pyatnitsky and even.
After some time, we removed almost all possible pranks and emotionally fizzled out. Then I realized that I needed a more convenient, faster format, where I can do several issues a week, integrate advertising there and really make money. Now I do reviews of different situations, express my opinion: since childhood, I loved to build everything on the shelves, to structure.

After I reviewed the program “Let They Talk” about Diana Shurygina, a part of my audience increased. But this is just a coincidence. People found out about my channel, they liked what I said and how. This episode received 16 million views on YouTube.
It was interesting for me to discuss this, express my point of view. For some reason, when such stories happen, everyone accuses me of some kind of hype. Yes, what does it have to do with it. You are interested in expressing your thoughts about this in the comments, and I am interested in the channel. Every blogger is a hype in his own way, because he strives to gain views.

Last year I wrote the book "The Way to Success": this is a practical guide in which I laid out the points of what needs to be done to make a video well done and come out on top. If I'm good at this topic, why can't I help people? It is important how cool you are in this topic. The book turned out to be very successful, it was bought in five copies. The sixth additional circulation is now in progress. The publisher even asked me to write another book, but it is still in the works.
I just said my name at the beginning of each video and involuntarily put emphasis on the first syllable. It came as a surprise to me that people began to make parodies of this "Nikolai Sobolev". Well, I decided to hypertrophy it. There is a lot of self-irony in my content, but unfortunately the YouTube audience is not discerning enough to understand such jokes. I have the image of a narcissist, but in fact, I adequately treat myself, critically. I'm just confident in myself. But people really think I’m hitting the edge. ( Laughs.)
I want to prove to everyone who did not believe in me how wrong they were. I am gradually developing myself, I want to cooperate with television, to make music on YouTube at a professional level. But again, I miss the days of the week. That would not be 24 hours a day, but 38 ... Everything will be mandatory! I swing for a very long time, but then everything turns out efficiently, I do it consciously.
We thank the YOKO restaurant for help in organizing the shooting!

Thus, in the first year, the Racamacafo channel gained 1,000,000 subscribers and its creators were included in the "TOP50" of the most popular people in St. Petersburg.
Interesting fact - the first video on the rakamakafo channel, where Kolya and Guram offered passers-by to have group sex with them, was filmed for fifteen days, due to shyness and inexperience.
Life YouTube and SOBOLEV

Parting with Yana Khanikeryan
Nikolay never advertised his parting with Yana, but subscribers somehow found out about this and at the moment Kolya's personal messages are inundated with the question: "Why did you break up with Yana?" He comments on it this way: “Yes, indeed after 3.5 years of relationship, we broke up, I don’t know, unfortunately, or fortunately it happened, but we just are not together. "

From this article read:
Nikolai Sobolev was born in St. Petersburg and always grew up as a very active boy. At school, the young man played in an amateur theater. The young man was always distinguished from his peers by an active life position and a love of public speaking.
And sobolev's assets include singing, cabaret performances and bodybuilding! At one stage in his life, the young man even weighed 120 kilograms. After leaving school, Nikolai entered the St. Petersburg Polytechnic University, who graduated with a master's degree.
The craving for video blogging has pursued Sobolev for a long time, which is why he registered his first channel already in 2010. True, he did not have popularity and therefore in 2014 the young man easily decided to join his friend Guram and create a whole prank show.
By this they understood the creation of a channel on which various rallies will be posted, which show the true face of ordinary people. The project was named "Rakamakafo".
The creators of the channel admit that by their actions they urge ordinary people not to be cruel and indifferent. Through the videos, the guys show the problems that exist in modern Russian society.
An interesting fact - the very first video in which prankers approach passers-by with indecent proposals was filmed for 15 days! And this happened because Nikolai and Guram were wildly shy.
During the first year of the existence of the Rakamakafo project, it gathered a million subscribers, which in 2015 allowed its creators to become laureates of the TOP 50 of the most famous people of St. Petersburg.
We should also mention the blogger's charitable activities. Despite the fact that he singles out the idea of \u200b\u200bstirring up society as the main mission of his project, Nikolai is ready not only to do it in words, but also in deeds.
In May 2016, the guys organized a charity fundraiser for orphanages. For several months, thanks to the video of Nikolai and Guram, about 2 million rubles were collected. An interesting fact is that the prankers personally said thank you to people who transferred more than 1000 rubles, recorded individual signals.
An active position regularly brings Nikolai to various festivals, including Widfest. And at the St. Petersburg VK Fest in 2016, the young man even held a master class on the successful promotion of a personal brand in modern social networks.
Also Nikolay channel presenter LIFE YUTUBE , constantly covers the Internet community last news from the world of Youtube. At the same time, Nikolai himself is a participant in several conflicts on YouTube, the most famous is with, thanks to the clip of Dima Kolya, he received the nickname #colleader.
D 2016 together with Alexander Murataev and Ilya Strekalovsky created the channel Ready steady go , where various shows about cars and everything connected with them are released.
In August 2016, Nikolai Sobolev's book "YouTube: The Path to Success" was published, which describes the basics of video blogging, answers to the most popular question of novice bloggers and the history of the creation of projects by Nikolai and his friends.
Nikolay met with Polina Chistyakova for a long time, their joint photos can often be seen on his instagram. In 2019, it became known that the guys decided to part ways.
Nikolay Sobolev took part in the program of the 1st channel "Let them talk", where there was a discussion of rape. In turn, the blogger defended Sergei Semenov (a guy accused of rape) and opposed Diana Shurygina.
Nikolay's photo
Kolya constantly pleases fans with new photos on Instagram, the guy demonstrates his personal life and footage from the filming of various projects.
Showman "YouTube life" on the channel of the same name. A pranker, an auto-reviewer, a writer (!), A newly-minted face-from-TV channels and an old kind-hearted-face-from-YouTube. Here, however, we are talking only about the SOBOLEV channel, which means only about the YouTube Life show and the rest of Nikolai's activities (including the very successful one as one of the founders of the Rakamakafo project) will not touch here. As well as the personality itself, we will only touch on it to the extent and to the extent that it will be directly connected with the channel, with creativity, with “content”.
Cons of the show
- Personal blog elements.
And platforms for expressing opinions, as mentioned earlier. It turns out that there can be two options here:
1) You are an expert analyst in video blogging issues, in Internet communication or, for example, in politics. And it is not at all necessary to be an expert in the profession (although it is desirable), it is enough just to strive to delve deeply into the question. It is definitely not worth it to follow the lead of the first thought that has arisen, the first emotional reaction (which is what our hero - Nikolai Sobolev sinned) to anything. The first reaction is like “Aaaa! Why is this done by good people! How scary to live, let's make public the resonance of this case! " - certainly does not carry any constructiveness in itself, it interferes with looking at the situation fully, deeply, from all points of view. This is especially true of political and near-political issues, where such an approach only interferes with a general understanding of the situation. “Especially” doesn’t mean “only” - in other matters it also interferes. From the presenter, sometimes it ends up like this "Transponder of nonsense"which is depressing.
2) You appear before the viewer as a charismatic, bright person with your own special opinion, with your special position, and in this case response form, itself reaction, maybe even more important than the events in question, news, and so on. This is already a personal video blog format, and many famous YouTube figures do this. "YouTube Life" Nikolay Sobolev specifically - it's about something else. Neither a special position and special opinion nor any special form of response and individuality are presented here.
3) [If neither the first nor the second] You are the master relay... This means everything that we wrote about above. Less personal reasoning, personal comments and personal attitude. Somehow it turns out that way.
- One show - one host.
And no one else. Maybe we, of course, find fault, but for news broadcasts, reporters, experts, or anyone else who makes the news would still be nice original... Otherwise, the news release will be just a repetition and pronunciation of things already obvious and known to everyone. Collecting and voicing facts on some issue of interest to the people is, in general, good, but ... isn't it too little?
Yes, Nikolai sometimes takes on a role other than the presenter, sometimes he is an expert and a reporter, or, so to speak, a “provider of insider information” (about a TV show, about familiar bloggers, etc.). The latter role, by the way, comes out very well and they give us information that is really interesting, but even all of them do not completely make the weather - either not enough time is given to them, or they "play out" not enough quality. Therefore, it is probably good that Nikolai sometimes borrows some formats from other shows and channels: "the top most popular YouTube trends" or "the five most hated bloggers on YouTube" or "bloggers before they became famous" - so it turns out at least some - this is the primary creative processing of information, at least some kind of small novelty.
- Form.
[We try not to discuss the personal qualities of authors, hosts, show creators, bloggers here, even if the content presented here is deeply personal. Therefore, we are talking about the image.]
Narcissism and narcissism (a little more bombast and pathos). As for narcissism - probably all bloggers have a tendency to do this, because filming yourself on camera and posting on the Internet what happened - there is already something narcissistic about it. But other bloggers manage to at least somehow retouch this, at least with the same self-criticism, self-irony, or simply showing some other qualities in the foreground.
But in the case of Nikolai Sobolev, it is narcissism and narcissism that are the first to catch the eye - this is, in fact, the basic component, skeleton of image... And an image resting on such a skeleton is usually unpleasant and repulsive. Absolute rejection of criticism and non-recognition of one's own possible mistakes and shortcomings; the absence of at least some balance and objectivity of judgment when it comes to Nikolai himself and, for example, it is about his personal opponents (those with whom he is in conflict at the moment) - right here.
Such an image, oddly enough, was not formed from the activities of Nikolai as a leader. And the basic qualities of this image could well have been discarded without detriment to the content of the show. They grow out of another completely unnecessary detail here from the realm of the personal blog - participation in conflicts... You can even say Nikolai "Got myself dirty" such participation, and it does not even matter who won there in fact and with whose opinion the audience was in the end more in agreement. Dmitry Larin, Afonya, Likey ... - no matter how many dislikes they have been shipped to them, the loser, as a result, is Sobolev Nikolay (perhaps “ and Sobolev Nikolay). However, the “loser” means that the video's not being watched or the channel's “subscriber's” loses - inevitably the overall loses watchability of videos and image perception, which, in the end, will hit the popularity in turn.
Well, a little nuance that relates to the same point. This, to paraphrase a well-known acronym: "A sense of the importance of one's own activities", and a rather heightened feeling. If the presenter suddenly did not mention the importance of the topic that he is talking about right now and the importance of the very public resonance around this issue, then this presenter is definitely notNikolay Sobolev. Well, this is already so, by the way.
Summary
Watch the show if you are not indifferent to the entire YouTube media scene: all these new trends, projects, faces, video blogger festivals, etc. Wylsacom, Sasha Spielberg, Dmitry Larin, Likey, Ivangai - if all these faces are at the same time close and interesting to you for some reason, then this show is just what you need and its shortcomings are unlikely to confuse you. Probably.
What to watch
News from the life of YouTube... Look at them, everything is simple. The more the topic concerns YouTube and video blogging (or, in general, specifically prank and prank-maker) and only them, the more Nikolai thinks and looks like a professional expert in his field. “More” does not mean “just like”, but it’s already something, which means it’s quite watchable if there is a general interest in the topic, of course.
Nikolai Sobolev carried out a large-scale hoax: first he announced the beating, and a day later - about the staging. Not only for the hype: the main blogger of the Runet admitted that he wanted to show how easy it is to spread fake news in our time. This is a noble idea, but it seems that this is just a screen to buy off past sins.
On June 3, on the page of Nikolai Sobolev, there is an entry: "I am 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.
A couple of hours later, muddy videos are scattered over the Internet: they can not clearly be seen how aggressive young people attack Nikolai, accusing him of hype-gluttony. After a while, a new post appears on Sobolev's page: the creator of the most famous author's program admits that he was beaten. The case allegedly happened next to the famous studio, in which the same brick wall is located: Purulent's diss "lit up" the location, and ill-wishers had no difficulty in tracking down the star of the Russian "YouTube".
The internet exploded. Someone condoled with Sobolev: hitting 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. First, Sobolev walks with two guards who are not on the video. The second - once this man gave the Russian language the words "prank" and "staging".
A day after the incident, a new video is released on the Sobolev channel. The hero of the youth appears in black: his face is covered with sunglasses, the body is wearing a severe suit, and the very wall is not even visible - it disappeared into the darkness. Sobolev crucifies for a long time, as he became a victim of beating, periodically removes his glasses, showing his face eaten away by bruises. And by the middle of the video he admits: no one beat him. The blogger wanted to test how easy it is to deceive people, and in general, this whole story is just an introductory chapter to a general investigation into the hoax and the spread of fakes in the media.
"The purpose of this experiment was to clearly show how easy it is to make a fake stuffing in our time. How easy it is to raise a buzz from scratch. Besides, I really wanted to check: who from the media will work out the news feed and who will carry out the real fact-checking?" - Nikolay Sobolev declared about his imaginary beating.
The event is really unique. There were staged beatings before Nicholas, but he was 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 false rumors about the hundreds of those killed in the "Winter Cherry". "Are the authorities hiding?" - asked the most scandalous video of the blogger, in which youtuber frankly assured that the victims in the Kemerovo shopping center were not 67, 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. This was, perhaps, the most severe reputational damage in the career of the co-founder of "Racamacafo" - the blogger deleted the video and then apologized for a long time. However, it is not so easy to erase the 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 the truth-bearer.
Now Sobolev has declared war on what he himself had recently gotten himself into. Is there a subtle note of hypocrisy here? Or does the hypozhor just want to remind him of his person again, but under a specious screen? Understanding.
Fake to fake
Colleagues did not fully appreciate Sobolev's zeal. In their opinion, he is exactly the person whom the mummers' aggressors called the blogger - a hypozhor. They also doubted Nikolai's methods - it is somehow strange to fight fake news by producing fake news. For example, Varlamov said that "Sobolev made our life a little more dangerous." And Ruslan Usachev, an honored veteran of the YouTube scene, 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 you can trust - the media or bloggers, it is complex and even philosophical. This is not something that can be figured out with one prank or social experiment, no. And Sobolev's performance at best has not changed anything. And at worst - only spoiled it, "- a blogger about the alleged beating of Sobolev.
But, no matter how much one wishes, the co-founder of Racamacafo is not as simple as it seems. The beating prank is not just an attempt to catch up with the hype. Although this too.
Lipstick beatings
For the first time this method was resorted to by the now completely forgotten Roma Acorn: “Russian Justin Bieber” pretended to be beaten by posting a minute video. On the video, an unhappy and richly made-up young man cried, saying that he was "sorry." The Internet then was not so sophisticated and cynical, so they believed the blogger, even launching the epoch-making hashtag #Romajivi. After some time, they began to perceive him exclusively sarcastically, but believe me, at the initial stage, thousands of guys and girls (mostly, of course, girls) quite sincerely put these words after the bars. Who knew that the losing popularity Acorn simply “spreads the signature”.
Since then, whoever played fake beatings - from Purulent to Pug, but Firamir worked best of all: the Novosibirsk prodigy pretended to be pursued by Ukrainian bandits, Russian security forces and just haters. The guy even broke his arm almost on the air (while he was streaming). True, the bandage on the right hand now and then migrated to the left. And the general level of performance clearly made it clear that the whole story with the attack was sewn with white thread. A little later, in an interview with Life, the producer Firamira admitted that they just launched a reality show without warning anyone. Therefore, the level of shock in the then YouTube was prohibitive: a man had just quietly and peacefully streamed Minecraft, and now he is being killed every week on air.
The alleged beating brought its dividends to Sobolev. Not to say that things were going badly for the blogger, but the videos began to gain less: for four million views, only the tracks and that same ill-fated release about Kemerovo stepped over. Even the heavy artillery in the form of Shurygina and the blocking of 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 he spurred interest in the prankster.
However, Sobolev's approach is radically different. If Acorn to the last pretended to be beaten, and Firamir immediately began to play the fool, then Nikolai made a kind of squeeze out of two ways: first he played a professional drama, 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 hype. However, Sobolev took it upon himself to "highlight the problem of fake news," and there are several questions here.
Who will save the watchmen
When journalist Arkady Babchenko, for the amusement of the public, played out his own death, the International Union of Journalists came out in the spirit that he should be punished: he was making fools of us. Indeed, today any media, even the largest and most respected, can swoop in on fake news, posting it safely. And it's not about the laziness or lack of professionalism of today's journalism - it's just that the world is too big, you can't check everything. Sobolev took up this super-topical topic and, perhaps, as the master of YouTube, he really could say something important.
But YouTuber took the path of least resistance, just catching up views and drawing attention to his already fed up 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 megaphone, yelled at him and left, deciding that his work was done. Everyone can shout loudly - thank you, we are aware that there is a problem of spreading false information. Thank you for reminding us about the virus races with Samburskaya, Svetlakov and the same Acorn. Thank you for recalling the interview with the "ambulance" from Kemerovo, whom you, Kolya, quoted so happily. Thank you 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, it 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 greasy". Agree, it's 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 the purity of 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 himself out of shame. However, there is another point. The boy who had been shouting about wolves for a long time finally waited for them. We sincerely hope that this fate will not visit the prankster, but still: do not pretend to be beaten. Because if (when) it really happens, no one will come to the rescue.
The blogger portrayed himself as a funny liar, for whom likes are more important than people's emotions - well, please. We will survive another fake and another viral video - but Sobolev is probably no longer there. It will evaporate like tears in the rain while the rest of the "fake" world moves on.
