Taras Kulakov is one of the few Russian YouTubers to make videos in English. In fact, many of his viewers aren’t even sure if he is in fact Russian. RT has suggested that he’s faking his (very strong) eastern European accent to give his channel an exotic aura.

Kulakov’s videos range from life hacks with typical viral names like “You’ve Been Eating Shrimp Wrong” and “10 New Life Hacks That Will Change Your Life” to curious science experiments like “How to Cut Wood With Water” and “Self-Freezing Coca-Cola”. He also has a series of Zombie Apocalypse Survival Tips on making a stove from a tin can and striking matches on any surface. Some say that Kulikov’s tools/advice for getting views is too obvious: he has lots of videos about cooking bacon, the internet’s favourite food bar pizza, and pranking your friends using air horns and expanding styrofoam cups.
