Born beneath the Kremlin and rumoured to be Vladimir Putin’s nephew , Sergei Putinski is a man who has seen things you would not believe — mostly because they happened in 1987 and are no longer relevant.

Kind of wild when the side character is bigger than you.\" With over 200 million views online, appearances on Your Mom’s House with Tom Segura , and a personal shout-out on Bill Burr’s Instagram, Sergei Putinski has become a global cult favourite — even among people who cannot locate Russia on a map.
