Court recovers 56 thousand rubles from Puchkov
An arbitration court has recovered 48 thousand rubles from the well-known blogger and translator Dmitry Puchkov, better known under the pseudonym Goblin, for failure to pay the advertising fee. He will additionally have to pay eight thousand rubles in state duty, Life.ru reports. Thus, the total amount recovered came to 56 thousand rubles.
What is known about the case
The matter concerns financial obligations related to advertising activity. However, the publication does not specify details of how the fee was calculated, the period of the debt, or the circumstances of the court proceedings — these questions remain open.
Who is Dmitry Puchkov
Dmitry Puchkov became widely known for his authorial and parody translations of foreign films: his version of The Lord of the Rings trilogy was released under the titles 'Bratva and the Ring', 'Two Toppled Towers' and 'The Return of the Bum', while his parody of The Matrix was titled 'Shmatrix'. He later took up blogging, public commentary and video content creation. The nickname Goblin stuck to him back in the 1990s, when he served in the police, and it later became his creative pseudonym. Earlier, Life.ru reported that Puchkov complained about being unable to correct the article about himself on Wikipedia and considered the information published there unreliable.
Why it matters
The court decision concerns mandatory payments from advertising activity, which directly affects bloggers and content creators who monetize their platforms. For Puchkov himself, the practical consequence was the need to pay 56 thousand rubles. However, without data on the period of the debt and the grounds for calculating the fee, it is impossible to assess the scale of the dispute and its possible consequences for other authors.
