A cross-section of Russian-language standup on YouTube for 2025 - in the spirit of the "pseudo-scientific" breakdown at 2025.comedy.cat: popularity does not equal engagement, and the genre is based on irony, personal stories and arguments in the comments.
The selection includes twelve shows in the same vein: leaders in terms of aggregate reach (Doggy High, Agent 813, Personally, Good Evening, All Day), shows with strong lycraits and discussion (1.25, Lesbian Moldavanka, Jokes and Tricks, 7, Comic Girl) and notable thematic mainstays of the year - Suitcase, Station and... (migration and identity), It Wasn't My Idea (satire and political context). A handy entry point to remember the year and go deeper into the catalog.
