Zhdanov – out. Which bloggers are Ukrainians tired of? Fresh rating published.
Ukrainian bloggers actively discuss military topics on the internet, gaining popularity and profits. Influential bloggers were noted in the fresh rating from "Slovo i Dilo".
This year, for the first Time, the most influential bloggers include the channels of Yanina Sokolova and Yuriy Butusov. Meanwhile, the channels of NV observer Ivan Yakovina and Oleh Zhdanov were removed from the list.
The first place in the rating went to Dmytro Gordon. Over the year, the number of subscribers to his channel "V gostyakh u Gordona" increased to 4.24 million (+12.2%), and the number of views is 2 billion 553.5 million.
Gordon publishes his own interviews, video addresses on current topics, episodes of his program, and conducts live broadcasts where he interacts with the audience online.
In second place is Dmytro Komarov and his channel "Mir naiznanku". The number of subscribers is 4.06 million (+5.5%), and views are 1 billion 223.8 million. The program shows unpopular and little-known regions of the world, particularly focusing on the reverse side of a country's life that tourists usually do not see.
Volodymyr Zolkin increased the number of subscribers on his channel, where he publishes videos with Russian prisoners of war. Now his subscribers amount to 2.22 million (+21.3%), and views are 1 billion 262 million. Zolkin tries to stop Russian disinformation about the war by calling Russians with news about their relatives who are in Ukrainian forces in Ukraine.
Sergiy Sternenko, a volunteer, has 2 million subscribers on YouTube (+13.6% for the year) and 994.8 million views. He leads a program showing real life in Ukraine during the war.
Having received subscriptions from 1.83 million YouTube users (+7% for the year), former advisor Oleksiy Arestovych gained 774.4 million views. He creates videos that ironically tell about the realities of war and mock Russian people.
Journalist Ramina Eshakzai has a channel with 1.46 million subscribers (+4.3%), and the number of views is 177 million. Her episodes are filmed from the most dangerous areas of Ukraine and include interviews with fighters and famous figures from various fields.
