Nowkie on the war

Nowkie's Position on the War in Ukraine

With the start of Russia's full-scale war against Ukraine, Nowkie chose a strategy of complete silence. Not a single post condemning Russian aggression, calling to stop the war, or expressing words of support for Ukrainians appeared on his channel or social media. The blogger acted as if nothing was happening and continued regularly releasing standard entertainment videos.

Promoting Alabuga

Despite his outward neutrality, the blogger's actions later translated into de facto support for the Russian military-industrial complex. Nowkie took part in a large-scale advertising campaign for the "Alabuga Polytech" College, which recruits students en masse to assemble Iranian-designed Shahed strike drones.

The blogger promoted Alabuga in his YouTube videos. Following the scandal surrounding Alabuga advertising, mentions of the college were edited out of Nowkie's videos, but evidence of his cooperation was archived on the Gubanov Files website.

By promoting Alabuga, Nowkie, who exercises significant influence over teenagers, effectively served as an instrument of state propaganda, drawing young people into military manufacturing that directly supplies the Russian armed forces.

He is registered with the Roskomnadzor registry via Gosuslugi. This means that the Russian government officially monitors and regulates his activities.
