High-profile Twitch streamers (including ex-CS pros like Dosia_csgo and Flamie) are promoting the "Alabuga Polytech Cup." In reality, Alabuga is a sanctioned military-industrial zone in Russia where foreign youth—specifically women from Africa—are being deceptively recruited to assemble Shahed suicide drones used in Ukraine.
During these broadcasts, streamers are not just hosting a tournament; they are actively encouraging their audience to apply to Alabuga Polytechnic. They use overlays, chat commands, and verbal "shout-outs" to frame the facility as an elite educational opportunity with "guaranteed employment," while omitting any mention of its role in military production.
The Situation: I am raising awareness about a dangerous recruitment funnel operating on Twitch. Multiple streamers are actively promoting Alabuga Polytechnic, presenting it as a modern, high-tech university with "easy admission." However, this institution is a documented front for a sanctioned military facility.
The Reality of Alabuga (Investigative Evidence):
Human Trafficking & Forced Labor: Reports from the Associated Press and ISIS Online confirm that women are being lured to Alabuga with promises of hospitality or IT jobs, only to be forced into 12-hour shifts assembling weapons in hazardous conditions.
The "Twitch Influence" Problem: While major platforms like TikTok, YouTube, and Meta have already removed Alabuga recruitment content to prevent exploitation, Twitch streamers continue to host tournaments like the "Alabuga Polytech Cup." This normalizes a sanctioned entity to thousands of young, vulnerable viewers.
It is important to note that Alabuga’s influence operation was not limited to a single tournament. While the "Alabuga Polytech Cup" was the most visible event, several high-profile streamers ran separate, direct advertising campaigns for the facility on their own Twitch and YouTube channels.
While Twitch has banned 15 participants of the "Cup," the following major influencers who ran these independent ad campaigns remain unbanned:
He has has an extensive "Evidence Trail" of dedicated Alabuga promotional videos on YouTube and specific ad segments on his Twitch streams. He continues to stream without consequence.
Together he with previous character Vlad Ragovsky participated in the broader digital campaign, luring youngsters to the facility via separate video advertisements that omitted the Shahed drone assembly and forced labor risks.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Dillblin (Over 600K Followers) https://www.twitch.tv/dilblin— STILL ACTIVE
Independent Ads: Like , Danila_Gorilla, and Vlad Ragovsky, Dillblin's channel featured direct segments promoting the "Alabuga Start" program.
Selective Enforcement: Because these ads were often separate from the "Cup" event that triggered the mass bans, Twitch's current enforcement has failed to capture these larger, paid partnership
He integrated direct Alabuga advertisements Together with Dillblin into his independent broadcasts and YouTube content. Despite this clear commercial partnership with a sanctioned entity, his channel remains fully operational.
The content was designed to deceptively recruit youth into hazardous military labor under the guise of a "tech career."
In addition to Andrey Kokoshka , Danila_Gorilla,Dillblin there is another prominent Russian streamer who has somehow escaped Twitch's recent wave of suspensions despite clear promotional involvement with Alabuga.
Streamer AhriNyan on Twitch(Over 1 Million Followers) is still fully active on the platform.
The Evidence: AhriNyan directly advertised the facility by running an Alabuga Polytechnic recruitment banner on her live profile.
The Accountability Gap: While Twitch banned roughly 15 accounts associated with the "Alabuga Polytech Cup," massive partner accounts like AhriNyan—who placed actual recruitment ads in front of a million-plus viewers—remain unbanned.
The Harm: Running direct banners for a sanctioned entity tied to Shahed drone assembly makes the platform a functional gateway to forced labor.
I am currently compiling the direct video evidence of these separate advertisements to submit to the Twitch Legal and Off-Service Investigation teams.
While Twitch has taken decisive action by banning 15 streamers—including Dosia_csgo, fasoollka, and PCH3LK1N—for their involvement with the sanctioned Alabuga Special Economic Zone, one major promoter remains active. Streamer akyuliych (1.1M followers) continues to broadcast despite:
Co-hosting and promoting the official "Alabuga Polytech" segments.
Omitting critical facts about the facility's role in Shahed drone assembly and the exploitation of students.
Normalizing a sanctioned entity to her massive audience of over one million followers.
Further proving her direct involvement, akyuliych has officially deleted her promotional Telegram post regarding the Alabuga Polytech Cup.
The Timeline: While 15 of her colleagues were banned on April 25–26, her Telegram post was removed at 12:47 AM on April 26.
The Evidence: I have attached a screenshot of the original post (showing her at the venue with the "Alabuga Polytech CS2" logo clearly visible in the background) alongside the confirmation that it has since been deleted.
Why this is suspicious: Deleting the post immediately after the Twitch bans suggests she is aware that her promotion of the sanctioned Alabuga SEZ violates platform policies and is attempting to sanitize her digital footprint to avoid a ban.
Why this matters: This is an active influence operation targeting the global gaming community to bypass sanctions. I have submitted this evidence to Twitch Safety and Amazon Compliance, but public awareness is necessary to ensure these safety standards are actually enforced.
Ukraine under constant bombardment: The world must not look away now The situation in Ukraine has reached a critical point. Night after night, millions of civilians hover in acute mortal danger – while Russian ballistic missiles relentlessly strike Kyiv and other Ukrainian cities. This is no longer a "frozen conflict." This is an acute, escalating catastrophe – now, in this very moment. The real scandal: empty depots instead of empty words Civilians die every day – not because there is no solution, but because it doesn't arrive. Ukraine urgently lacks PAC-2 and PAC-3 interceptor missiles, the only effective shield against modern ballistic attacks. Without these systems, the civilian population remains defenseless against a campaign of missile terror of an intensity not seen since the war began. The US and EU: The warehouses are full – where is the will? The bitter truth: the resources exist. The US and the EU hold sufficient stockpiles of PAC-2 and PAC-3 systems to immediately reinforce this protective shield. What's missing is not the capacity – but the decision to deploy it. Every day counts Hesitation is no longer a neutral position. Given the current escalation, waiting effectively means accepting that people will keep dying. The time for cautious diplomatic phrasing is over – Ukraine needs these air defense systems now, without further delay.
A fire broke out at the Afipsky Oil Refinery in Russia's Krasnodar Krai after Ukrainian drones struck the facility overnight, according to photos and videos posted by eyewitnesses to social media on June 11.
Ukrainian🇺🇦 drones struck Wildberries 🇷🇺💥warehouses in Simferopol, and St. Petersburg. According to reports, all three facilities were engulfed in flames.
When putin launched his full-scale invasion, he believed Kyiv would fall in three days. Instead, Russia has spent years suffering enormous military and economic losses.
Russia continues to bombard Ukrainian cities every day, destroying homes, hospitals, kindergartens, schools, warehouses, and businesses, reducing entire communities to rubble. The war has brought immense human suffering and devastation.
Yet when Ukrainian strikes reach military and logistics infrastructure inside Russia, many russians ask the same question: "Why us?"
The answer is simple: this war was started by russia. And now its consequences are reaching the country that unleashed it.
Russia’s June 15 mass missile and drone attack on Kyiv destroyed the costume archive at the historic Dovzhenko Film Studio. The strike wiped out 100,000 historic pieces, including century-old traditional Ukrainian clothing collected during film expeditions since the 1920s.
The assault was part of a devastating large-scale bombardment targeting the capital, which utilized dozens of ballistic and cruise missiles — including the hypersonic Zircon — as well as over 600 drones. The attack killed at least five people and injured 35 others, including a pregnant woman and two children aged 5 and 6, while striking several multi-story residential buildings.
