Hi, this is Navalny, and I have

0:02

a box that just arrived in the mail.

0:04

The box looks pretty terrible, and now

0:06

I’m going to open it with this knife. So what do I have

0:09

inside?

0:10

Let’s take a look. Okay, inside the box there could be

0:14

money, or I don’t know, kittens.

0:20

Can you imagine? I open the box and out of it

0:22

kittens jump out.

0:23

That would be really cool. I’d get a lot

0:26

of views. Okay, foam padding... and inside the box

0:31

there’s another box. What suspense, what

0:35

suspense.

0:43

Although actually, maybe not—because that could also turn into

0:45

kittens, and God forbid, that would be

0:46

not cool at all—to get a whole box

0:48

of dead kittens, right?

0:49

[music]

0:56

Now this box is about to fly out of

0:58

the frame.

1:05

The second box is black and looks much more

1:07

presentable. Come on, boys, yes, yes, yes,

1:13

yes, yes—it says YouTube on it. So what

1:20

did they send us? Maybe it’s still money

1:22

from the State Department (a sarcastic reference to alleged U.S. funding).

1:23

Opening the second box—wow,

1:26

pharmacy

1:31

they really packed it thoroughly. Again,

1:35

foam padding, and some kind of letter in

1:38

a foreign language. We don’t understand what

1:40

it says. Yes, yes, yes, yes—there’s something

1:48

shining gold. Quick, quick, we already

1:51

can’t wait any longer—furiously tearing off

1:55

the cellophane.

1:58

This YouTube award—we already have almost 2

2:01

million subscribers on this channel, but

2:03

this gold YouTube Play Button

2:05

which is awarded for 1 million

2:07

subscribers only arrived recently.

2:08

And I want to thank everyone who

2:11

subscribed to our channel and helped

2:12

spread our videos. And while we’re on the subject,

2:15

please help me

2:17

figure out one important thing. I want

2:21

to find out who you really are.

2:24

YouTube analytics tells us very little

2:26

about who the viewers of our

2:29

channel actually are. How old are you, really?

2:31

Are you boys or girls? What are your

2:33

political views? What cities do you

2:35

live in? Besides that, we’d really like

2:37

you to help us improve and give us your

2:40

advice on which direction to take our

2:42

wonderful channel. More videos or

2:45

fewer videos? More memes or fewer

2:48

memes? Long

2:49

videos or short videos? And yes—are you tired of

2:51

this white table and this black wall, or

2:54

are you ready to put up with them a bit longer? I mean, we have

2:56

a ton of questions that no one

2:58

can answer except you. But how do we

3:01

ask you? So we came up with the idea of

3:03

getting your attention with the button, and in the

3:06

description of this video there’s a link to

3:08

a survey, and it will take you literally

3:11

just a few minutes

3:12

to answer our questions. But for us, this

3:14

will be incredibly important and valuable information.

3:16

So please, take the time

3:18

to fill out this survey. Once again, thank you

3:21

very much, and subscribe.

3:23

Our next button will be Skriptonit's.
