[KavkazUzel] YouTube video hosting has blocked one of the parody videos that ridiculed Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky, blogger Max KomikazdZe said. The deleted video was the first part of a series of several videos starring the head of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov.

The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that Ramzan Kadyrov has repeatedly criticized the President of Ukraine and the filming of the "series" about Zelensky has become a continuation of the federal trend of attacks against the Ukrainian authorities, although the videos with Kadyrov's participation should be considered primarily as entertainment, they pointed out political scientists Alexei Malashenko and Sergei Zhavoronkov. Such videos are not capable of strengthening the political position of the head of Chechnya at the federal level, Caucasian expert Ruslan Kutaev pointed out.

Since July 4, the head of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, has been publishing on the social network a series of "series" "The Adventures of Zelensky", ridiculing Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky. The head of Chechnya himself took part in the filming of the commercials. In one of the videos, Kadyrov forces the actor playing the role of Zelensky to sign the act of capitulation of Ukraine and say "Akhmat is strength," and in the second, he refuses to accept him into the Akhmat battalion.

Kadyrov, by publishing "humorous videos" about Vladimir Zelensky, made an attempt not only to humiliate the President of Ukraine, but also to exalt himself, netizens pointed out. Who is behind the creation of  these videos ?Bad jokes: Kadyrov's "TV series about Zelensky " was ridiculed online.

YouTube removed the first of three parody videos about Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, blogger Max KomikazdZe, who played Zelensky, said on his Telegram channel on August 1. The video was removed "due to copyright infringement in several initial frames," the blogger wrote.
Youtube will give the video maker the opportunity to remove the copyrighting material before making the new video public. It's either that or it was stated after the video was removed. I seriously doubt it was just a Youtube user who made the request.
According to the screenshot attached to the KomikazdZe post, the content was removed at the request of user Evgeny Panyuta on July 30th. The second and third parts of the "series" "Zelensky's Adventures" are still available on the blogger's YouTube channel.

The head of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, who starred in all three videos of the "series", at 17.42 Moscow time did not comment on the news about the removal of the first series on his pages in Telegram and VKontakte.

Ramzan Kadyrov published the first part of the series "Zelensky's Adventures" on July 4 in his Telegram channel. In the video, the blogger KomikazdZe, who played the role of Zelensky, announces the signing of the document on the surrender of Ukraine and quietly adds: "Akhmat is strength." The next two videos appeared on Kadyrov's channel on July 7 and 11.

After Kadyrov began to actively write about the military operation in Ukraine in his Telegram channel, the number of subscribers to his blog increased significantly. So, in February, about 60 thousand people signed up for it. As of 17.42 Moscow time on August 2, 2,697,137 people signed up for it.
