Dmitry Shilov is a popular video blogger. Together with his wife Tatyana, he managed to become a legend in Siberia, recording videos and gaining millions of views. Dmitry has an active political position and ran for deputies of the City Council of Krasnoyarsk.
Childhood, youth
Dmitry Shilov was born on October 2, 1980 in Krasnoyarsk. He grew up in a very simple family. Dmitry's parents worked a lot, but at the same time they experienced financial difficulties. From childhood, a young man used to earn money on his own. In his school years, he tried to trade in the market and worked in a cafe.
Shilov studied not very well. Classmates respected him and were even afraid. After graduating from the Krasnoyarsk school, he entered one of the humanitarian faculties at the Siberian State Aerospace University named after Academician M.F. Reshetneva. Dmitry studied in absentia and at the same time worked, earning a living. He graduated from a higher education institution in 2009 and received his education in the specialty "Public Relations".
Work and career blogger
After graduation, Shilov found it difficult to get a job in his specialty. He went to the Krastsvetmet factory and worked as a simple worker. For 3 years, Dmitry grew to the head of the social department. At the plant, management praised Shilov’s personal qualities. Despite his bright appearance and somewhat free behavior, this young man was able to achieve his goals. He was always stubborn and persistent. From his subordinates, he demanded the fulfillment of all instructions, strict discipline. On his example, Dmitry showed how to work.
In 2007, Shilov was invited to the publishing house "PromGrupp" (the magazine "Industrial Pages of Siberia"). In just a year, he was promoted to the head of the magazine. In this position, he worked for 2 years.
Working as the head of the publishing house, Shilov often thought about the free schedule. He lacked the ability to express himself creatively and not obey the strict rules designated by the owners of the company. The decision to change the type of activity came completely spontaneously. After watching one of the videos on the Internet, in which a man successfully caught a fish, Dmitry appreciated the comments on him and saw that a person can become popular without any acting abilities, profile education. Since 2008, he began to shoot his own videos on the YouTube channel.
Dmitry came up with the pseudonym "Radisson", and the channel called "Raddy". The videos that Shilov shot and continues to shoot are considered by many to be too shocking. But Dmitry assures that he does not come up with anything. He just tries to remain himself and does not try to look better in front of the audience. At the same time, Radisson does not demonstrate any areas of life, since there are certain rules of the Internet channel that no one has the right to violate.
Dmitry Shilov did not immediately become popular. It took time for people to appreciate his work. The years 2010-2013 saw the peak of his fame. In 2012, he was even nominated for the title of Media Person of the Year. His most popular videos were:
- "Birthday";
- "Dismissal from work";
- "Taiga Chronicles."
One of the most successful Shilov projects was his participation in the "Tourists" program on STS. In it, he starred with his wife. The project turned out to be very unusual and popular. The Shilov spouses have their fans.
One of the latest popular Shilov videos are:
- "Unpacking the parcel";
- "The Adventures of the Shilovs in Moscow";
- "Adventures in Lapland".
In 2013, Shilov participated in the elections to the deputies of the City Council of Krasnoyarsk, but he failed to get the required number of votes. Dmitry earns not only from watching videos and participating in various projects. A large income brings him advertising. A lot of scandals are connected with this. Several times information appeared on the network that Dmitry advertises goods and services that are not of high quality. Some services can even be called a hoax. But Shilov denies all charges. In his opinion, he only advertises what he is sure of.
Shilov often conflicts with other bloggers. With some he even fought in makeshift duels. The conflict with blogger Sergei Simonov was resolved by organizing a wrestling match between two celebrities.
