Dud was born on October 11, 1986 (31 years old), in the city of Potsdam (Germany), but he soon had to leave this place because the boy’s parents moved to Russia. In one of his interviews, he stated that he loves Russia, even though he is a purebred Ukrainian. He also said that he does not want to move or change citizenship in the near future.

In 2008, Yuri graduated from the Faculty of Journalism of Moscow State University with honors. He took on any work that was given to him and was meticulous in completing it. Before graduating from university, he had little experience in the media field, working part-time as a journalist, where he hosted a number of shows on local television channels.
Yuri releases his own show on YouTube
And already in 2014, the young man created his own YouTube channel and project called “vDud”. The first episode was released in February 2017, and its first guest was the performer Basta, who spoke about his earnings and the conflict with the Nemagiya channel. As of April 2018, his channel has almost 3 million subscribers. This is due to the fact that he films a format that is relevant at all times - interviews with celebrities.

Personal life
Yuri Dud himself does not like to talk too much about his relationships. But, just like every media personality, there are all sorts of rumors surrounding his personal life. According to official information, Yuri is married to a woman named Olga, and they are raising two children together - son Daniel and daughter Alena. As a tribute to love and respect for his children, Yuri decided to get tattoos with their names.
Olga sometimes appears on Yuri’s channel, and can often be seen on the social network Instagram. From the few joint photographs that are available on the Internet, one can understand that the couple is absolutely happy.
Dud with his wife
One day, Yuri shared his dreams that when their children grew up, they would go to concerts of their favorite musical groups together (Yuri himself prefers to listen to punk), and while the children are still small, he spends time relaxing with his wife.
In September 2017, Yuri received a golden YouTube button for the first million on his channel. He delighted his fans with this news through his Instagram and Facebopk profiles. In addition to football, Yuri is also interested in sports such as hockey and basketball. And he prefers to spend active recreation in the ski resorts of our country.
Olga, her husband and children often go to the sea to take a break from the bustle of the city and enjoy moments alone.
He approaches his work responsibly, it is a mix of a canonical journalistic approach and free creative person, which is briefly formulated as “it doesn’t matter who the interview is with, as long as it’s interesting.” Yuri believes that he has not yet passed the test of success, and now understands that if “a huge amount of recognition and money” suddenly comes at a young age, this is fraught with not the best consequences, because even at thirty it is difficult. But Yuri Dud’s wife and children remain in the shadow of his fame.

Dud
Celebrity came to him in 2018, at the beginning of which he launched his show on YouTube with the memorable name “vDud” and an attractive jingle. There Yuri interviews famous people. To a large extent, the rise in popularity was facilitated by the use of obscene language during communication, both by the journalist and by invited guests.
Thanks to Yuri’s ability to get his interlocutors talking and create a relaxed atmosphere, the interview format, which is not very popular, especially among young audiences, suddenly became of interest to RuNet. The project was conceived with the goal of honing interviewing people, in contrast to previous experience not related to sports.
At the same time, despite millions of views of his “vDudya”, Yuri continues to work as editor-in-chief at Sports.ru. The channel became a millionaire in a record period.
Yuri Dud
Twice the blogger was “Person of the Year” (2016 and 2018) according to both GQ as “TV Face” and as “Screen Face”. In 2018, he starred in several advertisements - for the Beeline VEON application and as the face of the Alfa Bank brand, as well as in one of V. Oblomov’s videos.
Personal life
When it comes to Yuri’s biography, everyone is especially interested in who his girlfriend is, but it turns out that he has not only been married for a long time, but also has children. The wife of Yuri Dud, who is in the top of the most popular, a man who is always in sight, prefers to remain in the shadows and leads a non-public lifestyle.
There are practically no photos of the wife on the Internet. It is known that her name is Olga. On the social network VKontakte, Yuri posts news related to work, and not a word about his wife and children. Meanwhile, he has two of them. The boy's name is Danil, and the girl's name is Alena. In their lives there are clubs and everything that contributes to the comprehensive development of children. In honor of the birth of his son, the happy dad got a tattoo on his arm.
Yuri and his wife
The journalist's modest wife supports him in his pursuit of healthy image life. As a child, Yuri loved football, but due to health reasons (bronchial asthma) he had to give up his sports career. However, sport will subsequently be present in his life, although not in the form in which he wanted as a child, and will play an important role in his journalistic career. His children attend various clubs, including sports.
Yuri is a caring and responsible dad, reads to his children, often takes them to kindergarten, and generally tries to participate in their lives. From time to time, he and his wife fly on vacation, often to Ibiza - a mecca for clubbers. There, the couple not only relax on the beach, but also spend time in world-famous clubs.
In the future, he would like mutual understanding with his children, spending time together as if he were their age, the absence of a “conflict between fathers and children” that distances generations. Yuri intends in the future, when his children grow up, to be their friend, not to lose modernity in every time period of his life. What kind of children are Yuri Dud? For now it remains a mystery.
Yuri Dud
The video blogger leads an active life, he does not smoke, but “to relieve stress,” about once every two months he “spends an evening in bachelor mode,” “gets drunk” with friends and “dances fiercely.” Looking at this student-looking guy, you wouldn’t think that he has two children. Moreover, he is a good family man. Positive microclimate in the family, good attitude with his wife and children is important to him.
His daily routine is usually about the same, from seven to eight he wakes up and devotes time to Sports.ru. Then come office work and any meetings. By eight or nine, upon returning home, he puts the children to bed. After everyone falls asleep (from eleven in the evening), he devotes another one and a half to two hours to work.

In the fall of 2018, he gave a long interview where he told new details about his life. You need to be the same no matter how many people ask you to take a photo in the subway, Yuri believes.
The rise in popularity came as a surprise to him, and he sees the meaning of life in having the most interesting time, having fun, that is, making your life interesting. One of these phenomena was the “vDud” project. “Who knew that along with this could come a certain amount of raspberry, which allows you to have even more fun,” he shared.
Yuri Dud
He explains his modesty by the fact that today everything exists, but tomorrow it may disappear, adding that this is a “cynical, rational Protestant position” that is not typical for Russians. At his current job at Sports.ru, the subordination is as simplified as possible, in contrast, for example, to the corporate entevash atmosphere where, as he said, “there is nothing to breathe.”
He speaks warmly of his six years at the helm of the sports publication. Yuri believes that you need to “not show off, but do something new, this saves you from self-criticism due to shortcomings in previous things.” When offers began to come in to participate and host various television shows, he “learned to say no.”
People react differently to the fact that they make parodies of his program, of which there are indecently many, “some are just good,” while others “scream with delight.”
Each video of this blogger is viewed by millions of Internet users. Also, everyone is interested in his income from the program with the laconic name “vDud”, and in one of the interviews he finally satisfied the curiosity of those eager to know the exact numbers, although not fully.

Journalist Yuri Dud

This is how Yuri Dud speaks about his origin: “I am a purebred Ukrainian, but I do not eat lard or mayonnaise salads. I’ve been living in Russia since I was four years old, I feel like a Russian person and I’m not going to change either my place of residence or my citizenship.”
In his youth, Yura loved to play FIFA 98 and Warcraft.
Yura became interested in football as a child and was seriously focused on a career as an athlete. When playing football, Yura liked most of all being a goalkeeper.

Yuri's view of journalism in Russia is quite strict - everything is in complete ruins. Nowadays, working as a journalist is comparable to being under pressure. You can’t say anything wrong, because the media sphere is controlled. Because of this, the very meaning for which Yuri went to study and work as a journalist disappears.
