Ivan Abramov is a Russian comedian, humorist, showman, and musician. Former captain of the "Parapaparam" KVN team (MGIMO). Resident of the "Stand Up" show on the TNT network. Born on May 21, 1986, in Volgograd. Resides and works in Moscow.
In October 2019, Abramov was entered into the database of the "Myrotvorets" website for illegally entering Russian-annexed Crimea.
In the spring of 2021, the comedian planned a tour across Ukrainian cities, but the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine warned the artist about legal liability for illegal entry into occupied Crimea. The tour was subsequently canceled.
Ivan Abramov's Stance on the War in Ukraine
Following the beginning of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022, Ivan Abramov published a generic social media post stating that "people are what matters most."
In essence, the comedian chose a strategy of total silence and continued working in Russia. The stance of "silence" has become typical of most comedians remaining with the TNT channel (owned by the Gazprom-Media holding). The entertainers carry on as if no war is happening, continuing to entertain the public.
The artist continued collaborating with Russian federal TV networks that actively promote the war. Specifically, he became a contestant on the comedy show "Stars" on the NTV channel and continues releasing content on Russian digital platforms.
He is registered on "Gosuslugi" in the Roskomnadzor (RKN) registry. This signifies that Abramov officially submitted his data to the Russian state, which monitors and regulates his activities.
