It became known that the police began to search for a popular Russian comedian and video blogger. He himself spoke about this on his pages on social networks.
A 25-year-old stand-up comedian from Voronezh named Alexander Dolgopolov, who is also involved in creating videos for YouTube, made a new statement in his accounts on social networks. According to Gamebomb.ru, Alexander wrote the following message on his Instagram page: “Guys, I congratulate you all, we did it! My career has reached a new level – two years ago, village gopniks hunted me, now the whole state opens the hunt, wow! ” He also noted that a notice from the police had arrived in the St. Petersburg stand-up bar HopHead Tap Room, in which law enforcement officers tried to find out from the club whether a video was recorded in it (“Alexander Dolgopolov – New Hour of Jokes”) with a speech by Alexander. In addition, police officers in a statement also asked for the date of the video filming, as well as full information about the comedian in the response.
On his YouTube channel, Alexander Dolgopolov also released a new video lasting 4 and a half minutes, in which he spoke in more detail about the current situation. “To say that I am upset is to say nothing, because we all understand what this means. Obviously, they are not interested in me, simply because they are looking for how to subscribe to my social networks, and obviously they do not want to find me to take selfies, because they are big fans of my work, ”Alexander said in his video. He also added that he was frightened and understood that he was having problems. Alexander Dolgopolov notes that he does not yet know why law enforcement officers are looking for him, but he understands that he should not expect anything good, and therefore he decided to draw attention to this. The comedian also promised to keep his fans up to date.
It is worth noting that in the video indicated in the notification, Alexander Dolgopolov joked about the current government, as well as religion. Therefore, it is assumed that the police became interested in the comedian because of a complaint about insulting the feelings of believers in the video “Alexander Dolgopolov – New Hour of Jokes.” It is noted that the statement against Alexander could have been written by one of the residents of the city of Orekhovo-Zuevo, from where the notification came from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which, perhaps, intends to interrogate Dolgopolov.
According to Gamebomb.ru, netizens fully defended Alexander Dolgopolov. Fans of the comedian expressed his words of support. Some invited Alexander to leave the country, and they are even ready to provide him with housing.
