Yuri believes that the education of a journalist in Russia is a pure formality. The essence of journalism in Russia is teaching the humanities, which are completely unnecessary. The only thing that can be useful (if the student is diligent) is a foreign language.
Yuri's view of journalism in Russia is quite strict - everything is in complete ruins. Nowadays, working as a journalist is like being under pressure. You can’t say anything wrong, because the media sphere is controlled. Because of this, the very meaning for which Yuri went to study and work as a journalist disappears.

Yuri has a "Danila" tattoo. After the birth of his son, Dud got a tattoo with his name on right hand. Dud has a “Pank” tattoo on his right forearm.
And on her left hand there is a tattoo with her daughter’s name - “Alena”.
One of the most popular journalists and bloggers on YouTube, author and host of the “vDud” project, Yuri Dud, carefully protects his family from prying eyes. On personal pages social networks the showman posts photographs and posts dedicated to his work, where there is no hint of anything personal.
Mysterious Olga
Vasily Vakulenko decided to bring the popular blogger Dudya to the revelation as part of own YouTube project "GazLive". Yuri became the first guest of the famous Basta, who prepared an unusual surprise for the daring presenter and comedian. During a calm conversation, Vasily decided to switch the topic to his personal life and unexpectedly asked the question: “Why are you hiding your wife?”
It's no secret that at all social events Dud appears in splendid isolation, and all his posts on social networks are dedicated to appetizing forms unknown girls. Only from his tattoos can one guess that in his life there are three relatives with the names Olga, Danila and Alena. They are stamped on the hands of the journalist.
According to tradition, Dud started an old record about how he doesn’t hide anyone, everyone knows his wife Olga. According to the blogger, he does not like to spread melancholy, post pictures of loved ones so that they are discussed by inappropriate users on Instagram.
Vasily continued to correctly ask leading questions to Dud about his wife’s attitude towards his profession, fans, and vulgar posts. To which Yuri succinctly replied: “Olga clever woman, is sympathetic to the costs of my work.” In a family where there is love, there is no place for mistrust, the journalist added.
Unexpected turn
Then Basta asked the guest: “Let’s ask Olga about this personally?” The cheerful blogger’s face instantly changed; he was perplexed for several seconds, unable to understand how his wife could come to the show without his knowledge. Then a girl who looked like Olga came into the studio and asked Dudu a question in a languid voice: “Can I speak? Yura, do you mind?
Dudya’s reaction tore the hall apart, he laughed so loudly and said: “This is really cool! Well done for coming up with such a thing!” The unexpected prank defused the situation in the GazLive studio, but the husband did not want to raise the topic of the mysterious Olga, even though Basta tried to find out more about the other half of the sought-after and talented journalist.
According to some reports, the real name of Dudya’s wife is Olga Boneva. The girl does not lead a public life, or publishes photos exclusively for friends and family, so finding enough information about her is quite difficult.
In their free time from work, Yuri and Olga love to party in Ibiza, where the atmosphere of relaxation and drive reigns. After a night of fun, a married couple basks in the sun and swims in the ocean. When children grow up, modern parents want to take them with them to introduce them to local flavor and culture.
