Greetings to guests and regular readers of the site website. So, video blogger, comedian Dmitry Larin(real name Utkin) was first published on November 29, 1987. He spent his childhood and youth in a village that was formed around a correctional colony, where a good half of the local residents worked.
All early years Dima was afraid of cities with large populations, because only two thousand people lived in his native land. The fear was overcome when, at the age of 17, Larin moved to Arkhangelsk. After school he goes to college, but drops out after a while. In order to somehow support himself, he starts working on the Internet as a freelancer in the field of website building and programming.
For some time he had problems with alcohol, and he begins to shoot videos for YouTube while in a depressed state.

YouTube has learned about the emergence of a new character with a characteristic dark style, humor and hatred for female. The channel actively gained an audience when Larin actively promoted his thoughts and ideas through the formats “Digest of my head” and “Larin walks”.
At a certain point, Dmitry set himself the task of gaining several hundred thousand subscribers in order to start traveling around cities with his stand-up program. This event took place on March 9, 2015.
Not only his audience came to see the comedian’s debut, but also well-known personalities on the Internet, among them, and others. The stand-up was received ambiguously by the audience - half of the jokes “didn’t go well”, and it was simply clear that Dmitry himself was worried on stage in front of a large crowd.

In the video he dilutes his clever thoughts with “sharp” jokes, often with black humor. In addition to his activities on YouTube, Larin goes on city tours with his stand-up comedy.
Larin before he became famous
Dmitry was born in a village located in the Arkhangelsk region, with a population of about 2000 people. The village was located around a penal colony, where about fifty percent of the people living there worked.
After graduating from school, at the age of 17, Larin moved to Arkhangelsk and entered college, which he soon abandoned. Not wanting to go back to my small homeland to the village, Dima thinks about making money. His gaze falls on freelancing, and he begins to take on any activity, from programming to the layout of porn sites.
Freelancing brought in good amounts of money, and Dmitry began to have problems with alcohol, which developed into severe depression. To overcome his illness, he starts a YouTube channel, where he posts his thoughts.
YouTube Larin / Larin
Dmitry Larin's activities on YouTube begin with the filming of humorous sketches. In parallel with the start of his YouTuber career, in 2014 Dima began working on the radio Ilya Maddison“MadFM,” as Larin himself says, helped him a lot in his future work, he became more fluent, and learned the tricks of retaining an audience.
All past video projects do not bring a huge number of views and subscribers, and Dima launches projects such as:
"Night on Earth" in which Larin communicates with people in a video chat (chat roulette), bringing out their emotions through jokes, jokes or pranks, using various costumes and props.
"Larin against"- the most successful project that brought Dmitry the main audience of subscribers. The essence of the project was to criticize already well-known video bloggers who reacted, mostly negatively, to Dima’s videos and, in turn, recorded response videos, which gave a double splash of hype.
"My Head Digest" are conversational videos in which Larin sits in front of the camera and shares his thoughts with subscribers on various, often popular topics.
"Larin is walking"- a project very similar to “Digest of my head”, but in these videos Dmitry, as you might guess, walks around the city with a selfie stick and in this format shares his thoughts with subscribers.
All these projects bring Larina big increase subscribers, and he becomes one of the top bloggers.

The life story of Dmitry Larin is one of the most closed in comparison with the biographies of other well-known bloggers on the Internet. What is known is that before Internet fame, the young man had never done anything serious. Where does this conclusion come from?
Dmitry Larin (real name Utkin) was born on November 29, 1987 in a village located near Arkhangelsk and around which correctional colonies were located. There was little entertainment in the village, so, as Larin recalls, sometimes he even played football with criminals in the zone.
To begin with, he did not finish his studies at the university, leaving him halfway. Then I never had a permanent job, I was freelancing in design layout and programming. By the time the young man decided to create his own channel, he was in the deepest depression.
The LarinShow channel was the first to be registered, this happened at the end of 2012. Stand up videos from this resource went unnoticed for a long time, but then Dmitry launched the “LARIN AGAINST” project, within the framework of which he began to ridicule his colleagues.
The first loud conflict over this with blogger Andrei Nefedov simply blew up the Internet and brought the blogger his first fame. It’s hard to say what it was - really a quarrel or mutual PR, but the fact remains that a large audience learned about Larina.
However, later, due to subsequent conflicts with Sasha Spielberg and Pasha Mikus, the channel was blocked due to the latter’s appeal about violations of their copyrights.
Larin had to open a new channel, Relarin, and fight to remove restrictions from the first one. At the moment, both resources exist, but the first is still active and popular, while the second has gradually faded and is considered abandoned.
In general, during his entire career as a blogger, several of his main projects can be distinguished:
- Larin against - discussion and criticism of famous bloggers;
- video chat “Night on Earth”. Its essence lies in the fact that Larin jokes and talks about topical topics in real time;
- Digest of my head - voicing news that is interesting to the blogger himself
- Periscope to hell - Larin goes into the Periscope program and simply watches videos of people unknown to him. If something catches his eye, he sends it to his subscribers. Thanks to this simple move, an ordinary person can suddenly experience a completely sold-out broadcast.
In his videos, Dmitry does not present his best side to people - bilious, cynical, and somewhat misogynistic. But many of his subscribers are sure that this is just a stage image, and in life their idol is completely different. Whether this is so is difficult to say.
Some interesting facts about Larina:
- He is an ardent atheist and childfree;
- Can and plays the ukulele and guitar;
- He is very lonely.
True, one can argue with the last fact. Officially, Dmitry is not married and does not talk about his personal life. It is known that he once dated another video blogger, after which he met with Ksenia Ushakova; at the beginning of 2018, Dmitry broke up with her.
In addition to running his channel, Dmitry is seen holding public lectures. So in October 2014 in Kubansky state university Larin gave a lecture on the topic “Video blogging. Creating an image. Content."
Don't miss interesting things:
On it, he openly said that his channel brings him money and he sees no point in doing anything else.
At the same speech, Dmitry told how exactly you can make money on YouTube. The blogger called the creation of absolutely unique video content the basis for such earnings. Secondary, processed information is of no interest to anyone; we need really unusual and interesting videos.
In 2016, Larin had a conflict with, which was resolved through a Versus battle, where Yura won.
Dima often criticizes other bloggers; his videos “Kolya hater” - against and “Larin against” - against everyone received a huge number of views on YouTube.
In 2017, after the conflict, he fought in Versus BPM with and played the deceased LSP member Roma Englishman in the “Body” video.
Also in 2017, the popular blogger turned 30 years old; in honor of this, he released a video, which, thanks to its beautiful visual performance, collected more than 7 million views.

Dima deleted his VKontakte page, but constantly posts photos on Instagram and maintains a Telegram channel.
Dmitry Larin is a popular blogger on YouTube video hosting. Dmitry acquired an army of millions of fans because he is not afraid to express his own opinion. In 2017, his channel had more than two million subscribers and this number is constantly growing. The future video blogger was born on November 29, 1988 in the Arkhangelsk region, grew up and was raised with his brother and sister.
Dmitry does not like to make his personal life public, so information about Larin’s childhood and youth is scarce. For example, the guy did not tell fans what his parents did. But according to rumors, his father worked as a prison guard.
Dmitry admitted that he often spent time in a village located not far from the exclusion zone - a correctional colony. Therefore, it is not surprising that a young man who wandered far from home found human bones. According to Larin, there were also cases when he played football in the yard, and the boys’ company included former criminals.
One can only guess how Larin studied at school. Having received a matriculation certificate, the young man continued his education. His choice fell on the Arkhangelsk Institute. In high school, Larin became interested in video games and his father, knowing that games interfere with his studies, came to the dormitory and took away his son’s most valuable possession – a computer.
Therefore, to relieve boredom, Dmitry read literature. Moreover, the future blogger received not only classic books, but also gonzo journalist Hunter Thompson, notes by American stand-up comedian George Carlin and psychological books by Robert Glover.
It is worth saying that Dmitry did not remain a student for long: the guy was not interested in studying, so he was not awarded a diploma of higher education. Rumor has it that Larin dropped out of four educational institutions after the first year. To earn a living, self-taught Larin, like , worked on a freelance exchange, did web page layout and programming.
Blogger
Two years later, Dmitry Larin began to earn good amounts. But, as you know, money is not the main thing in life: at one time Dmitry had problems with strong drinks, and after quitting drinking, Larin became depressed. Therefore, in order to overcome melancholy, Dmitry Larin created his own blog on the YouTube video hosting service, setting strict conditions for himself.
Larin wrote on a piece of paper that if he does not gain a million subscribers within a certain period of time, he will commit suicide. The first channel called “LarinShow” was created by Dmitry in 2012. However, it was short-lived due to other popular YouTube personalities - and - claiming copyright infringement. Since then, Larin has not liked viners (a vine is a short video from 10 to 20 seconds, these are the kind of videos Mikus shoots).
Therefore, two years later, Dmitry created a second page - “Relarin”, on which he posted videos and at the same time fought to unblock his first channel. But as soon as “LarinShow” returned to working condition, it again became the blogger’s main channel.
From the biography of the stand-up comedian, it is known that Dmitry acquired an army of millions of fans after he created the column “Larin Against,” where he criticizes the work of his colleagues. The popularity of the video blogger began to grow when Andrei Nifedov gave a response on the Omskoe TV channel.
It is noteworthy that well-known YouTube figures, for example, Nikita Lol, and other Internet stars, were subject to debriefing. Therefore, it is difficult to call Larin a welcome guest in the blogger community, and the young man himself adheres to the policy of an outsider.
Smiling Dmitry Larin Some people turn a deaf ear to Dmitry’s criticism, while others enter into open hostility with Larin, which is monitored by Internet users. For example, everyone and everyone is watching the confrontation with Larin. The bone of contention between the two bloggers was a video where Larin made unflattering comments about Khovansky’s stand-up.
Yuri, in turn, responded to the provocateur with a song and their conflict grew to such an extent that ultimately Khovansky and Larin clashed at “Versus Battle”. Participants showing their skills at Versus compete in verbal art. Therefore, the duel between two YouTubers became a kind of know-how, because, as a rule, representatives of the rap community participate in the battle, and, as you know, Khovansky and Larin were far from hip-hop culture.
The battle between Khovansky and Larin, which took place in June 2016, received more than 2.5 million views in one day, which became a record figure for the “Versus Battle” show, while the epic duel with Johnnyboy, which went down in the history of world hip-hop, gained 1 million in 24 hours. Dmitry came to the battle in black clothes, saying that this was mourning for Khovansky’s career and his media fate. However, Larin lost to his opponent.
“I probably didn’t have enough luck. Maybe I skimped on the text and invested in poetry, but not in anger. This is my mistake, I think. Khovansky infused himself with the evil spirit of egregor and did something unimaginable. I don’t even hate him that much,” Dmitry admitted at the end of the fight.
Personal life
Larin – mysterious person, positioning himself as a misanthrope, childfree and introvert, and also, according to some subscribers, Larin is a sexist. In one of the videos, Dmitry shamelessly slapped a girl in the face who was a member of the community criticized by the blogger. Larin also has a reputation as a well-read erudite, but those who are not among his fans believe that Dmitry is an ordinary intellectual with basic knowledge of psychology and biology.
Also, according to rumors, Larin is the creative pseudonym of a young man, so a rumor appeared on the Internet that his real name is Dmitry Utkin. As for Larin’s personal life, it is like a book with seven seals. Dmitry does not like to share the details of what was left behind the scenes, however, according to the guesses of Internet users, the blogger met with his ex-girlfriend, Yulia Resh, but soon the lovers’ relationship failed.
Whether Larin has a soulmate now is unknown, but it is worth noting that on the Big Russian Boss show, Dmitry made ambiguous hints that his heart is not free. Dmitry admitted that he is independent from social networks, so the blogger is not registered on VKontakte. However, Larin uses "Instagram", where he posts numerous photographs.
Dmitry Larin now
Larin continues to develop his YouTube channel and releases videos. In 2017, a battle between Dmitry Larin and Eldar Dzharakhov took place, which received 7.7 million views per day, breaking Versus records.
Although Eldar is a head shorter than his opponent (Eldar’s height is 157 cm, and Larin’s is 179 cm), he won a great victory in the duel.
The popularity of young YouTube stars can often exceed that of leading well-known television programs. The current generation is not very familiar with Leonid Yakubovich or Ivan Zatevakhin, but they know very well who Larin is. Growing up in a remote village in the North of Russia, this nugget was able to break out into the circle famous people Russian-language segment of the network. Became interesting? Then get to know him better.
Who is Dmitry Larin?
The future conqueror of the Runet was born in 1987 in a small settlement in the Arkhangelsk region. In his early years, the boy did not grab stars from the sky and did not show any special abilities.

Coming to YouTube
Larin came of age in deep depression, the reasons for which he prefers not to talk about. The young man began to often drink the bottle as a kind of antidepressant.

Original programs
As the blogger himself recalls, before opening his channel, he vowed to commit suicide if he did not gather an audience of six zeros. Whether this story is true is unknown. But what is known for sure - in July 2016 the number of subscribers exceeded one million.
The production of interesting content helped to gather such an audience:
- « Larin Against"- a project in which the author expresses his extremely negative attitude towards any Internet endeavor. At various times, Andrei Nefedov, Sasha Spielberg, Andrei Martynenko and others fell under the hot hand of the wit;
- « Digest of my head"- a kind of video diary, which contains discussions about the meaning of existence, flavored with a fair amount of obscene language;
- « Larin Walks» - a travel diary to interesting places in St. Petersburg;

- « What's wrong with you, scum?“- this channel contains the author’s reaction to numerous feedback from viewers.
Why doesn't Khovansky love Larin?
In 2015, when Dmitry was not yet a millionaire blogger, he decided to increase the popularity of his channel in a very unusual way. To do this, he challenged one of the patriarchs of Russian-language YouTube, Yuri Khovansky, to a verbal duel (versus):
- The skirmish took place in the form of a rap battle - rhymed insults to the interlocutor accompanied by looped music;
- Khovansky did not immediately respond to the challenge: more than three months passed before he gave his consent to his opponent;
- The battle took place in March 2016 and created a sensation in the specific crowd of the project “ Versus Battle »;
- The judges of the rap duel noted high level each of the opponents;
- The number of video views exceeded 15 million;
- Khovansky emerged victorious from the fight. But Larin did not come for victory at all - the number of subscribers to his channel after the release of the scandalous video began to grow exponentially.
The story received an unexpected continuation in 2017, when Dmitry unexpectedly released diss verses against Khovansky, where he expressed his disrespect to the enemy. Here is the video:
Larin's career as a stand-up comedian

- The guests at the event were not only regular subscribers of his channel, but also journalists, musicians and colleagues - video bloggers like himself;
- The first pancake did not come out lumpy, but received mixed reactions. The audience was divided into two halves. Some claimed that the numbers were successful. Others noted a lack of experience performing live;
