Biography.

Career

After a successful start in 2013, the guys finalized the idea and switched from standard practical jokes to social experiments that began to gain popularity. The new format brought Sobolev and his partner thousands of subscribers and millions of views in 2014, which allowed updating equipment to raise the bar of technical quality.

By the time they graduated from the Polytechnic University, the guys had become famous and recognizable, which, on the one hand, was pleasant and profitable in terms of getting new acquaintances, and on the other hand, complicated further work on the project. Colleagues decided to disperse in order to continue developing their careers solo – so Nikolai became the host of the YouTube Life channel, which a year later was renamed in honor of Sobolev. The creators felt that in this case naming is a profitable solution from the point of view of branding.

In 2016, Sobolev opened his own video channel "Youtube Life", soon renamed SOBOLEV. In his blog, he talked about the most famous scandals of the Runet, including the case of Diana Shurygina, sharply criticizing the latter. In the same year, the blogger wrote and published the book "YouTube. The path to success. How to get trucks of likes and tons of money." By 2017, the number of subscribers of the video blog reached 4 million people.

In 2017, Nikolai began appearing on various television shows. He starred in the popular show "Let them talk". In the issue dedicated to Diana Shurygina, he reiterated his opinion on the current situation.

In the same year, Sobolev became a guest of one of the releases of the famous comedy show "Comedy Club". Comedians made a tough joke about the blogger, asking what an ardent opponent of television does on the recording of a TV show. He also gave an interview to Yuri Dudu on his channel "Vdud".

In 2017, Sobolev together with the social network Vkontakte launched a joint project "Sobolev bombs".

In 2018, information appeared on social networks that Sobolev would replace the host of "Let them talk" Dmitry Borisov. On March 22, 2018, Nikolai confirmed this on his social media accounts, but official representatives of Channel One and the blogger himself have not yet commented on this statement.

Personal life

It is known that Sobolev is dating St. Petersburg-born Polina Chistyakova, who graduated from the Northwestern Institute of Management. In January 2018, a photo of an engagement ring appeared on Nikolai's Instagram, and Polina posted a photo of a wedding dress fitting. Soon Sobolev and Chistyakova spent a joint vacation in the Dominican Republic. Despite this, the young people did not make any official announcements about the marriage.

Nikolai maintains a popular account on the social network Instagram. His blog has 1.5 million subscribers.

Nikolai Sobolev now

2017 was no less eventful for Nikolai than the previous four. In addition to the skirmish with the Lyceum, Sobolev managed to come into conflict with Alexander Timofeev, known to the world under the nickname Restaurateur.

Also this year, the blogger with two co-authors released the book "YouTube. The path to success." The subtitle said that the main secrets would be revealed in this edition: how to get trucks of likes and tons of money.

In addition, in the spring of 2017, Sobolev, together with his YouTube colleagues, participated in a meeting with the Minister of Culture of the Russian Federation.

Among the latest news with the participation of Nikolai is a new intellectual and entertainment project "Sobolev bombs", which is another adaptation of the international format.

In his free time from work and business meetings, the guy likes to lie on the couch with a book or watch a movie. In literature and cinema, he prefers classic works "with character": books by Theodore Dreiser and Mario Puzo, "Gladiator" and "Mind Games" with Russell Crowe, as well as "Escape from Shawshank" by Frank Darabont and "Apostates" by Martin Scorsese.
