Track by Alyona Alyona and Alexander Gudkov, Monatik vs Nadya Dorofeeva battle: Russian show Comment Out filmed in Kyiv

The show's team is in Ukraine for the first time.

The team of the Russian YouTube channel “Chicken Curry” visited Kyiv for the first time to film a New Year episode of one of its shows, “Comment Out”. The episode's guests were musicians Monatik and Nadya Dorofeeva.

According to the show's rules, participants must either write insulting comments to famous people or complete strange tasks. Each action earns participants a set number of points. For example, Dorofeeva wrote a comment to singer Svetlana Loboda, ate salo and drank vodka from the body of a half-naked man, and also let her feet be covered in plaster. Monatik, in turn, put his head into a bag of coal.

In addition, at the start of the show, viewers were shown a music video by rap artist Alyona Alyona, recorded together with one of the team members, namely Alexander Gudkov. On December 17 (apparently when the show was being filmed), Alyona Alyona posted a photo with Gudkov on Instagram, but not everyone liked it. Some users condemned the rapper for this collaboration, writing that in doing so she “is losing part of her Ukrainian audience”.

The episode also featured Ukrainian video blogger YanGo.

The show “Comment Out” launched in late November 2018. Since then, a number of well-known Russian celebrities have taken part, including Dima Bilan, Alexander Revva and others.
