Popular Russian blogger Nikolai Sobolev 4-5 years ago earned several million rubles a month thanks to his videos on the YouTube platform. He told this to the Macarena project on the same video hosting.
"In 2017-2018, a very large amount of money fell on me," Sobolev admitted.
He clarified that he earned 3 million rubles a month and was as focused as possible on creating content.
Sobolev did not name the amount of current income, but noted that it is extremely problematic to make money on political videos.
Note that now 4.97 million people have subscribed to Sobolev's YouTube channel.
In March last year, in an interview with journalist and TV presenter Ksenia Sobchak, Sobolev said that by the standards of millionaire bloggers, he has a very small income in the region of 1-1.5 million rubles per month.
As EADaily reported, in February 2023, the Ministry of Justice included Sobolev in the register of foreign agents. He stated that he would appeal this decision, and also intends to remain in Russia, because it connects its future with this country.
As a result, in March of this year, Sobolev managed to achieve exclusion from the register of foreign agents. The Ministry of Justice indicated that this happened "due to the loss of signs of a foreign agent."
