Released Trash Blogger Vows to Swap Volgograd for America
Pavel Prokudin, convicted for insulting participants of the special military operation in Ukraine and the feelings of believers, told what he did in pre-trial detention and in the colony. According to him, in the detention center, they shaved his head and beard, took away his player, and in the colony-settlement, they forced him to work.
The day before, Pavel Prokudin recorded a video for his subscribers on his private Telegram channel with the words «that»s it, I«m out today.» The press service of the courts V1.RU confirmed: the release date after serving his term was yesterday. Recall that in December of last year, the Krasnoarmeysky District Court sent him to a colony-settlement for 2 years and 6 months.
On the night of December 9, he held his first live stream, where he talked about how he served his sentence.
«Do you know how hungry I was? In pre-trial detention, of course, they fed us disgustingly. Barley there, buckwheat with meat, mostly porridge. In the settlement, it was more or less. Rice with meat, pea soup. No matter how you look at it, you still want…,» the blogger said.
In pre-trial detention, as Pavel Prokudin assures, he was deprived of his main entertainment in life—music. All the hits released during that time passed him by. And only when he was transferred to the Krasnoarmeysky District detention center could he watch music videos on TV.
«When I arrived at Krasnoarmeysky, they put me in a cell where there»s a TV. There was MUZ-TV. I saw Lusya Chebotina there. I hadn«t watched TV for a year. I walked into the cell, saw Lusya Chebotina»s clip. I was wide-eyed. Sitting there, watching clips. Well, you just don«t understand. You haven»t been in pre-trial detention. I thought: my poor subscribers. So many tracks came out, and I didn«t sing for them,» says Prokudin.
In the colony-settlement, as the blogger admits, he was bored. They forced him to work, and he was disgusted by it.
«It»s very boring in the settlement, nothing to do. We worked, of course. Sometimes you want to listen to music. And when they take away your player—it«s not nice, it»s wrong,« Prokudin says. »I also felt sorry for my hair. Everyone remembers perfectly that I had long bangs. I arrived at pre-trial detention, and on the third day they said: «Today you»ll get a haircut.« I wanted just a short haircut. I didn»t want to shave bald. They said: «No, we»ll shave you bald.« I didn»t cry, I wasn«t upset. I felt sorry for my hair, but especially my beard. I grew it for three months. I don»t understand why such rules—beards aren«t allowed. You wouldn»t wish anyone to end up there. I was so disgusted to work in the colony-settlement. What do you mean? I«m a star. Why should I work?»
Pavel Prokudin also shared his plans with subscribers. The blogger dreams of visiting several European countries and then moving to America.
«I want to deregister from this apartment. Give my share to my mom so she pays me 10-15 thousand rubles (about $100-150 at current rates) per month. My share is worth 700-800 thousand rubles (about $7,000-8,000 at current rates). But she doesn»t have that kind of money. I decided to agree so she pays me gradually. I«m not going back to my home anymore. You won»t see streams from the apartment where I lived anymore. Tenants already live there. She put a new door there, a lock,« the blogger says. »I will live with my girlfriend. She will sell her place in Arkhangelsk for three million rubles (about $30,000 at current rates), and we will leave and buy an apartment where we need. Generally, I«d like to go to Europe, but my dream is America, but it»s not so easy to get there. You need to upgrade your visa, visit 3-4 countries, and have at least 400 thousand rubles (about $4,000 at current rates) in accounts. I plan to fly to Turkey, Thailand, Germany.«
Recall that Pavel Prokudin is about 30 years old, he lives in one of the five-story buildings on the outskirts of the Krasnoarmeysky District. Education—sixth grade. The trash streamer became known several years ago after he streamed under the screams of his grandmother. Subscribers suspected that he beat the elderly woman while drunk and reported it to the police. Two years later, in 2022, Prokudin fought with his grandmother and mother on a live stream. Then the blogger explained that the women allegedly interfered with his stream.
In May 2023, Pavel was again called to the police immediately after the publication of a video of violence against a girl. However, the Volgograd woman immediately withdrew her claims against Prokudin. The trash streamer himself explained the appearance of scratches and bruises on the girl… with dancing. By the way, subscribers have been watching the couple«s »dances« for several months. And in the summer of the same year, Pavel insulted Muslims, but then very quickly released a video with apologies.
The decline of the trash streamer«s »career« began in April 2024. The head of the League of Safe Internet, Yekaterina Mizulina, asked the police to check his statements.
«The Volgograd trash streamer in a live stream insulted participants of the SMO, calling them »cannon fodder«. In his statements, he hit rock bottom, saying that participants of the SMO »should not live«, since »there is no use from them«,» Ms. Mizulina wrote. «We have already appealed to the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs with a request to conduct a check of his statements.»
The Krasnoarmeysky District Court, and then the Volgograd Regional Court, found him guilty and sent him to a colony-settlement for 2 years and 6 months.
