In 2017, Dud launched his YouTube channel, vDud (Russian: вДудь), where he interviews individuals from Russia and other post-Soviet states. He is one of the most popular YouTubers in Russia, with vDud having over ten million subscribers as of early 2022. His series of socio-political interviews have included multiple opponents of the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine and related foreign policies of the nation. This has brought him attention from worldwide audiences and opposition from Vladimir Putin's government.[2] On 11 April 2022, Dud released Человек во время войны (English: Man in the Time of War / Man in War), a film project based upon his research into the Ukrainian refugee crisis.[3]
