[1] Additionally during the early part of the 1990s, he led the comedy company "Masks" from Odesa, whose TV shows dominated Russian and Ukrainian television.
[2] Deliev is an architect by training, is skilled in fine art, but his paintings stand out because of his distinct and funny worldview.
Works created using a variety of media (oil, acrylic, watercolor, mascara, pastel) and executed in the style of experimental drawing are kept in museums and private collections as well as displayed in exhibition halls.
[5] Deliev was chosen as an Odesa City Council representative in 2002 and joined the Commission on Culture, Youth, and Sports.
He has been working on his next project, releasing the albums Хулиган с большой буквьі (2005), Дубда (2007), and Небесньїй поезд (2008).
[2] Deliev made fun of the Ukrainian language in a music video titled Рідна мова that was recorded in 2006.
[2][7] He responded to criticism by claiming that the tape was only the rough version that was broadcast on the network[9] and later defended it by referring to it as dedicated to the artificial trend of the split of society on language issues.
[2][7] Deliev really legitimized the Russian Federation's pseudo-referendum in an interview he did in 2014, following the annexation of Crimea and the start of the conflict in Ukraine.
Regarding politics, he talked hesitantly since he thought that "the artist should be neutral, carry universal values, and not incite aggression."
He also refrained from discussing whether or not his views on Russia's accountability, the annexation of Crimea, and the collective guilt of Russians had changed.
