A 10-year-old schoolboy got the microphone in front of Putin — and decided to make the most of the moment. After a serious discussion, he suddenly asked the president to… subscribe to his YouTube channel. The moment took place on September 1, 2021, during Vladimir Putin’s meeting with students in Vladivostok. Egor Sotnich from Buryatia first raised a serious topic — environmental problems surrounding Lake Baikal. Then the conversation took an unexpected turn. Egor explained that he ran a YouTube channel called “Krasnaya Vilka” (“Red Fork”) and directly asked Putin: “Please subscribe. I’d be very happy.” That is when the funniest part happened. Putin did not immediately understand what “subscribe” meant in this context and started asking what exactly he was supposed to sign. The schoolboy had to explain: there was nothing to sign with a pen — he meant subscribing to a YouTube channel. Once Putin understood the request, he said he would think about it. But the story did not end there. The clip quickly spread through media and social networks, bringing far more attention to Egor’s channel. It turned into almost perfect promotion. He asked Putin for one subscription — and thousands of people ended up hearing about his channel. Sometimes growing a YouTube channel takes a great algorithm. And sometimes it takes one question to the president.
