Stefan Che — My story

Moscow

At 14, I moved alone

From Minsk

To Moscow

10-hour hitchhike

Moscow was a city of opportunity and my launchpad to the international stage.

I couch-surfed at the place of a friend I’d met online, spending every waking hour working on my videos.

Six weeks later, I reached 1M subscribers

Channel analytics, November 2026 · videos still up. 14.2M hours of human attention = 1,620 years. Roughly everything since the fall of Rome. Peak in 2019: 2M subscribers.
