About this person
Born in Germany on 11 October 1986, Yury Aleksandrovich Dud rose through Russian sports media, editing Sports.ru from 2011 to 2018 before becoming its deputy director-general. In 2017 he launched vDud, a YouTube interview series centered on figures from Russia and the former Soviet bloc that grew into one of the country's most-watched channels. The work turned sharply political: his socio-political interviews featured multiple critics of the 2022 invasion of Ukraine, drawing international attention and government heat in equal measure. On 11 April 2022, he released Man in the Time of War, a documentary on the Ukrainian refugee crisis built from his own reporting. The channel now sits north of ten million subscribers, a rare independent voice in a tightening media landscape.
