Big Russian Boss (Igor Seravin) is a Russian rap artist, video blogger, and host of the eponymous show. Born on June 8, 1991, in Alma-Ata (Kazakhstan), raised in Samara (Russia). Best known for his satirical persona of "The Russian Boss" featuring a fake beard, crown, and fur coat, as well as his regular collaborations with Young P&H (Stanislav Konchenkov).
Listening to this artist's tracks on official streaming platforms, social media, and other services indirectly contributes to financing the war — through taxes paid to the budget of the Russian Federation.
In March 2017, a tour by Big Russian Boss across Ukrainian cities (Kyiv, Kharkiv, Dnipro) was planned. However, the concert announcement sparked a wave of indignation among Ukrainians due to the artist's provocative lyrics. Specifically, one of his songs included the lines:
Crimea will be ours in Miami, faces in balaclavas... Me and my crew do whatever we want.
These lines were widely perceived as endorsement of the annexation of the Crimean peninsula, although the artist himself framed it as satire.
Big Russian Boss's Stance on the War in Ukraine
With the beginning of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022, Big Russian Boss published an anti-war post on Instagram, emphasizing that what was happening was "simply a disgrace, in the 21st century there is no room for war under any pretext" (the post was subsequently deleted):
Following that, the artist made no further public statements regarding the war, adopting a position of silence. He continued building his career in Russia, adapting to new realities of state censorship and international isolation:
- Transition to Russian platforms: Amid the throttling of YouTube in the Russian Federation, Big Russian Boss shifted his primary activity to VK Video — a platform tightly controlled by Kremlin-loyal corporate structures. In November 2023, he stated: "I moved to VK because they gave me the opportunity to do what I've wanted for a long time."
- Participation in entertainment events: In the summer of 2025, Igor actively competed in the Igora Drive Drift Challenge motorsport events in Russia, continuing a public celebrity lifestyle as if the war did not exist.
- Return of the show: In late 2025, reports emerged about the filming of new episodes of "The Big Russian Boss Show" in Russia, confirming his commitment to continue operating within the Russian media market.
He is registered with Roskomnadzor via Gosuslugi. This signifies that the Russian state officially monitors and regulates his activities.

Куплет из трека "do peace":
"К чёрту предрассудки (да)
Все на свете братья (братья)
Наши люди кинут руку к Солнцу —
Там два пальца (два)
Это символ нашей банды (да) —
Мы против войны (нет)
Делай так, do the peace
Покажи (да) peace за мир (за мир)
Делай, делай, делай, делай
Делай, делай мир везде
Peace do, peace do, peace do, peace do
Peace do, peace do everywhere"
