Life of Boris

Although Boris started his YouTube channel on July 6, 2012, using the username NocturnoPlays, no videos were uploaded until May 4, 2015. “Cab driver Boris: THE CHEEKI BREEKI BEGINS - A Slav montage” is the video on Boris’ channel. He plays GTA V and compiles random moments in the video.

Boris posted a 1k subscribers special titled 1000 SUBSCRIBERS SPECIAL - 3 months in review on August 4, 2015. Then, after a year of producing content, he uploaded a birthday special and his 100th video, Buterbrod cake and Q&A - Birthday special (100th video/50k subs special), which also honours him for having 50k subscribers.

After 8 months of producing content since his first video, he earned 10k subscribers and uploaded 10K Subscriber special - 8 months of slaves. He published a Q&A video titled Boris Q&A - 401K Subs Special on October 23, 2016.

When Boris published CHRONICLES OF CHEEKI BREEKI on May 10, 2017, he had about 658k subscribers. On November 19 of that same year, he posted How to celebrate like a Slav - ONE MILLION GOPNIKS SPECIAL after reaching the milestone of 1 million subscribers. Later, on January 18, 2019, he published a Still alive! Status Update in which he explained why he had been absent for several weeks and expressed gratitude for his 2 million subscribers.

The E34 M5, which was mentioned in this video and was supposed to appear in Boris’ 2 million subscriber special, did not actually appear, as the price of the car had since doubled, according to Boris, who explains this in the same video.

All is lost, a video that Boris posted on February 26, 2022, discussed the ongoing Russo-Ukrainian War. He explained that during the 2014 annexation of Crimea and the War in Donbas, the war initially made him hesitant to share Russian and Ukrainian culture. Now that the ties between the two nations are so tenuous, he has made the decision to halt his video production temporarily.

Additionally, he claims that due to the YouTube algorithm no longer recommending his videos and YouTube being unhelpful in the situation in the video titled “Thank you for watching.” He claims to start a Soup Kitchen Gaming YouTube channel. He continues by saying that he will continue to upload to the Life of Boris channel whenever he has the urge.

The cooking videos on Boris’s channel continue to be very popular. He is very knowledgeable about Russian cooking, as evidenced by his videos. But occasionally, his cooking is strange (for example- using a sledgehammer, chainsaw etc.).

Q. Who is Anatoli from Life of Boris?

Q. Who is Artyom?

A. Boris has a Russian Blue cat named Artyom. He didn't see his father because his mother was a rescue cat. As suggested by one of his fans, he was given the name of a protagonist from the "Metro" series (before being named "Artyom", he was nicknamed "Komrade Kat" and still is called such to this day). He first appeared in the "Life of Artyom" video, which was a documentary about his youthful pursuits.
