Bednyakov explains why he keeps talking to the Russians

The showman is not a supporter of the thesis that “a good Russian is a dead Russian.”

Ukrainian host Andrei Bednyakov admitted that he continues to talk to Russians even after the Russian Federation’s full-scale military invasion of Ukraine.

“I have a communication, but I can’t say with whom. I am not a supporter of the idea that a great Russian is a dead Russian. I have people there who talk to me, with whom I am in contact, always, and they are very worried,” said Bednyakov on Pryama Chervona’s Youtube channel.

According to the showman, after February 24, he realized, “not how similar we are (with Russians), but how different we are.”

At the same time, Bednyakov is still subscribed to a number of Russian actors and TV presenters on Instagram, in particular, Ekaterina Varnava and Pavel Derevyanko. Derevyanko, who during the war, joined the speeches in the camps with Ukrainian children who were forcibly taken to Russian territory. Bednyakov said he did not know this and promised to unsubscribe from Derevyanko.

Bednyakov also told how he blocks Russian subscribers on Instagram.

“It’s cool. I love putting it on the spot. It’s easier for me to meet people later. I still have a lot of cotton wool signed up, 300 thousand have unsubscribed, but there’s still a lot left . I willfully leave a comment of a fool, pin it, then 90 likes of this comment ran there, and I, like Bayraktar, blocked all these 90 people, and I was not among them.”

Recall that Bednyakov commented on the scandal that erupted around the stand-up comedian Andrey Schegel, who had previously traveled abroad, allegedly to concerts, and refused to return to the country.
