Dmitry Shilov is a popular video blogger. Together with his wife Tatyana, he managed to become a legend in Siberia, recording videos and gaining millions of views. Dmitry has an active political position and ran for deputies of the City Council of Krasnoyarsk.
Childhood, adolescence
Dmitry Shilov was born on October 2, 1980 in Krasnoyarsk. He grew up in a very simple family. Dmitry's parents worked hard, but they still experienced financial difficulties. Since childhood, a young man is used to earning money on his own. During his school years, he tried to trade in the market and worked in a cafe.
Shilov did not study very well. His classmates respected him and even feared him. After graduating from the Krasnoyarsk school, he entered one of the humanitarian faculties at the Siberian State Aerospace University named after academician M. F. Reshetnev. Dmitry studied in absentia and at the same time worked, earning his living. He graduated from college in 2009 with a degree in Public Relations.
Work activity and blogger career
After graduating from the institute, it was difficult for Shilov to get a job in his specialty. He went to the Krastsvetmet plant and worked as a simple worker. For 3 years, Dmitry has grown to the head of the social department. At the plant, the management highly appreciated the personal qualities of Shilov. Despite his bright appearance and somewhat free demeanor, this young man knew how to achieve the tasks set. He was always stubborn and persistent. From his subordinates, he demanded the fulfillment of all orders, strict discipline. Dmitry used his example to show how to work.
In 2007, Shilov was invited to the PromGroup publishing house (the magazine Industrial Pages of Siberia). In just a year, he was promoted to the head of the magazine. In this position, he worked for 2 years.
Working as the head of the publishing house, Shilov often thought about a free schedule. He lacked the opportunity to express himself creatively and not obey the strict rules laid down by the owners of the company. The decision to change the type of activity came completely spontaneously. After watching one of the videos on the Internet, in which the man successfully caught a fish, Dmitry appreciated the comments on him and saw that a person could become popular without any acting skills or specialized education. Since 2008, he began filming his own videos on the YouTube channel.
Dmitry came up with the pseudonym "Radisson", and called the channel "Raddy". The videos that Shilov filmed and continues to shoot are considered by many to be too shocking. But Dmitry assures that he is not inventing anything. He just tries to be himself and doesn't try to look his best in front of the audience. At the same time, Radisson does not demonstrate some areas of life, since there are certain rules of the Internet channel that no one has the right to violate.
Dmitry Shilov did not become popular immediately. It took a while for people to appreciate his work. 2010-2013 was the peak of his fame. In 2012, he was even nominated for "Media Person of the Year". His most popular videos are:
- "Birthday";
- "Dismissal from work";
- "Taiga Chronicles".
One of the most successful projects of Shilov was his participation in the "Tourists" program on STS. In it, he starred with his wife. The project turned out to be very unusual and popular. The Shilovs had their own fans.
Some of the last popular videos of Shilov were:
- "Unpacking a parcel";
- "The Adventures of the Shilovs in Moscow";
- "Adventures in Lapland".
In 2013, Shilov took part in the elections to the Krasnoyarsk City Council, but he never managed to get the required number of votes. Dmitry makes money not only by watching videos and participating in various projects. Advertising brings him a lot of income. There are many scandals associated with this. Several times information appeared on the network that Dmitry advertises goods and services that are not of high quality. Some services can even be called cheating. But Shilov denies all charges. In his opinion, he advertises only what he is sure of.
Shilov often conflicts with other bloggers. With some he even fought impromptu duels. The conflict with blogger Sergei Simonov was resolved by organizing a wrestling match between two celebrities.
Personal life
Dmitry Shilov is a good family man. They met their wife Tatyana during their student years and after a while began to live together, and then signed. A son was born in marriage.
Tatiana is not only a faithful wife for her famous spouse, but also a friend who will always support. Dmitry said that only she was there at the beginning of the formation of his blogging career. At that time, everyone close to him believed that he was making a big mistake, refusing a good job in favor of some dubious activity. At the beginning of the journey, recording videos did not bring him any income, but Tatyana did not make scandals and believed in her husband. Dmitry believes that it was only thanks to her patience that he became popular.
Shilov loves to travel. He has many friends with whom he enjoys talking in his free time. Some friends have become heroes of his videos more than once. Hockey occupies a special place in the list of Dmitry's hobbies. He has been doing it since he was 7 years old. Shilov became the champion of Russia among the teams of the first league.
