Biography
Dmitry Puchkov aka Puchkov Dmitry Yuryevich was born in Kirovograd in 1961, but he spent most of his childhood in Leningrad. He attended the Leningrad Faculty of Aviation Instrumentation and Automation, but he did not end up graduating from there. He enlisted in the Soviet Army in 1980 and served there until 1982.
During the early 1980s and the early 1990s, he worked a variety of jobs in Leningrad and Uzbekistan, where he spent two years of his life.
In 1992, Dmitry Puchkov enlisted in the police force, received his certification as a canine handler, and completed the St. Petersburg Special Police Academy. While serving as a warder in the Central Internal Affairs Directorate’s internal jail on Liteiny Avenue for a number of years, he earned the nickname “Goblin.” It was during this time that he was given the moniker. In 1998, he left his job in law enforcement (according to certain other reports, he was terminated).
Dmitry Puchkov established his own personal website and blog in 1999, naming it Oper.ru (Tynu4ok Goblina). After releasing multiple illegal translations of major Hollywood movies and computer games as a voice actor, he quickly rose to fame and became a household name. Following that, he published a number of novels as well as a set of video games that were based on his voice acting. Also, he frequently published essays on his website that addressed socio-political concerns. The majority of these pieces supported the totalitarian regime of the Soviet Union and criticized the Russian opposition.
In 2007, Dmitry Puchkov launched his own YouTube channel, where he currently posts videos in which he discusses topics such as history, cinematography, and computer games, and even reads out recipes. Since 2014, Dmitry Puchkov has been conducting a series of interviews on his channel with various politicians and cultural personalities who are sympathetic to the Kremlin and the Soviet Union. In the year 2019, he approached Vladimir Putin with a proposal to impose criminal liability for fake news and inquired about a new law pertaining to the punishment for disseminating false information.
Dmitry PuchkovAmong the most pivotal people in history
One of the most well-known bloggers of the 2000s, Dmitry Puchkov today has more than 1.5 million YouTube subscribers and is still regarded as one of the most important people on the Russian internet. He was already well-known for his anti-Western and pro-Stalinist views; however, he preferred to take his vacations in the West. However, as soon as Russia began its aggression against Ukraine, he became a full-fledged part of the Kremlin’s propaganda machine. During this time, he favored taking his vacations in the West.
Widespread fascism in Ukraine
One of the earliest Russian propagandists to call the Revolution of Dignity in Ukraine a “brown coup” was Puchkov. Dmitry Puchkov also started alluding to the “rampant Nazism in Ukraine,” which terrified Russians. He has been depicted on his YouTube channel holding many chats with the leaders of pro-Russian terrorist organizations and expressing his complete support for the Kremlin’s activity against the territorial integrity and sovereignty of Ukraine.
In September of 2014, it was discovered that he had not completed it for free. A copy of the contract that was signed between Puchkov’s studio and the Russkiy Mir Foundation (which was established by Vladimir Putin) on January 16, 2014 (which was shortly before the annexation of Crimea and the war in eastern Ukraine) indicates that Puchkov was awarded a grant of 20 million rubles. It tried to get people to like the history of the Great Patriotic War and the cultural and social history of the USSR. It also tried to spread the ideas of the Russian world in the eastern (southeast) parts of Ukraine.
Helps disseminate phony materials
It is interesting that despite his support for the criminal prosecution of those who distribute fake news, he himself participates in the spread of fake news. This fact does not deter him from doing so. Specifically, in 2017, he shared a photo from the G20 conference in Hamburg that showed Putin sitting like a monarch while Trump and Erdogan clung to him. The shot was taken at the summit.
In fact, there was no one “sitting” in the chair that was described as belonging to Putin in the first version. In addition to this, he vigorously supported the film Twenty-Eight Panfilovites, which was based on a fake Soviet propaganda story, against the criticism that it received, stating, “I see nothing evil in propaganda itself.”
