Ilya Sobolev and Uncle Vitya
There is an opinion that under the guise of the most mysterious participant in “Laughter Without Rules” and “Slaughter League”, the cynical and gloomy Uncle Vitya, it is Ilya Sobolev who is hiding. In defense of this theory, fans cited the following evidence: firstly, the image of Uncle Vitya was partly taken from Sobolev’s favorite film “Man on the Moon”, and secondly, in one of his speeches, Uncle Vitya’s voice broke, and the phrase he said “He’s no longer defender” was pronounced in a voice very similar to Sobolev. Having closely compared the photographs of Sobolev and Uncle Vitya, attentive viewers found similar details that makeup could not hide.
Another proof that fans of domestic humor found is the show “Money or Shame.” Its host is Uncle Vitya, and on Ilya Sobolev’s VKontakte page Official page this program appears almost at the highest place on his list of subscriptions.

Ilya Sobolev “Bad jokes”
In the winter of 2018, the comedian announced a new show, “Prozharka,” which launched on the TNT4 channel. As part of the project, aspiring comedians and humor professionals made fun of a specific person throughout the entire episode. One of the first heroines of the program was Olga Buzova.
The essence of which is that the presenter is desperately rude to the stars, discussing with them various sharp edges from their lives, offering them a million for it. The show is hosted by “Uncle Vitya” - a guy in his grandfather’s makeup, known from the shows “Laughter Without Rules” and “Comedy Battle”. His real name is hidden.
Many initially perceived the program friendly, testing their nerves to the limit. After all, the amount of the prize if you can discuss all the unpleasant topics is equal to a million rubles. But recently Ekaterina Varnava stormed out of the studio, yelling at the presenter. And before that, just recently, the presenter heartily trampled on the guys from the MBand group. Artem Pindyura, Nikita Kiosse and Anatoly Tsoi, who were not even guests of the program, heard real rudeness addressed to them, which is not easy to explain even by the format of the program.

Money or shame MBAND.
After watching the program, Pindyura, having conducted his own investigation, decided to record a video message to the host:
“Not so long ago a project was released on one TV channel called “Money or Shame.” A certain Uncle Vitya leads and waters everyone there as best he can, thinking it’s funny. I’m sure that everyone already understands that under the beard and glasses of this Uncle Vitya is comedian Ilya Sobolev. I came across two episodes of this show, in which he “joked” at our group, and, accordingly, at me personally. "Okay, what's wrong? It's just humor!" - many will say, and I, in principle, agree with them! But not with everything. To phrases from the series “blue trailer, blue oyster”, etc. , hinting at our supposedly non-traditional sexual orientation, I’m already used to it and don’t pay attention to them! But! Dude, you are a media personality, and this time you are talking about it openly on a TV channel that the whole country has access to, which is subject to censorship. You are not sitting at home in the kitchen, and not at an 18+ stand-up, and not even on the Internet. You talk about it on TV! And there is no need to say that you were forced, I’m sure you write such “jokes” yourself! What originality...Well, that's nothing! In another episode you say that “all the worms will come out when the chorus of the MBAND song starts, because this is their favorite band!” I perceive this as a direct insult to all our fans and admirers, and there are quite a few of them, and this is a rather serious statement and insult that irritates me! Accordingly, I reserve the right to express all this here! In the Internet! Because you've gone beyond personal insults! I am quite self-ironic and like to laugh, whether at myself or not! But when is it really funny! Here it’s not funny, it’s not sharp, it’s humiliating! If there are any complaints against me, I am ready to talk personally! Apologies are still accepted!
Comedian Ilya Sobolev, whom Artem mentioned, began to deny that it was he who was hosting the scandalous show. Like, I have nothing to apologize for. But then he deleted the video with the comment from his page, and posted another one - directly addressed to Pindyura, in no way apologetic in nature. We have no doubt that the story will continue - it’s not for nothing that Pindyura doesn’t get out of the gym, he may well challenge Sobolev to a battle, but not a verbal one, but a real fist fight.
BY THE WAY
Money or shame: Harassment of stars on Uncle Vitya's show
The premiere of the show “Money or Shame” is airing on TNT-4. Our columnist Pavel Sadkov talks about how rudeness officially became a television format

He burst into the world of humor and literally blew it up, being remembered by the audience for his specific image. But who is Uncle Vitya? Is he a real character or is there a well-known comedian hiding behind pounds of makeup?
Conquering the public
When Uncle Vitya first visited the humorous program “Laughter without Rules” - and it was there that he made his debut - no one took him seriously. Baggy clothes did not distinguish the artist from the crowd of those who wanted to conquer the audience.

Popularity
Thanks to the created unsurpassed image, after conquering the “Slaughter League”, the comedian was bombarded with offers of cooperation. This became the main springboard in the life of a comedian. The strangest thing is that despite his popularity, the artist has been skillfully hiding for several years, leaving viewers bewildered. Not every fan can answer the question of who Uncle Vitya is and how he manages to maintain intrigue for so long.
Next step
The artist did not stop there; he set off to conquer another famous project of the TNT channel. “The Killer League” was already the second step in the career of the mysterious comedian. This time the comedian chose the tactic of insults and behaved defiantly. But the audience really liked his unconventional approach to humor, and everyone understood perfectly well that the show was reaching a new level with the help of a mysterious character. But no one knew who Uncle Vitya really was ("Lethal League"). Who could it be?
The character's appearance resembles a grumpy old man who is dissatisfied with everything and decides to go on an adventure. No one could understand who Uncle Vitya was. Is this the famous actor in makeup? Or is this a really funny grandfather who decided to shake up the old days?
