In 2017, Dud launched his YouTube channel, vDud (Russian: вДудь), where he interviews individuals from Russia and other post-Soviet states.

His series of socio-political interviews have included multiple opponents of the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine and related foreign policies of the nation.

[11] In February 2017, Dud launched the YouTube channel vDud (вДудь), where he interviews famous figures, including musicians (mainly rappers), politicians, journalists, film directors, and businesspeople.

[22] Following a mass crackdown in Belarus on the media, the GUBOPiK of the Belarusian interior ministry labelled three videos on his channel as extremist in 2022.

The Committee to Protect Journalists criticized the decision and called on Belarusian authorities to reverse it and "stop using the country's extremism legislation to silence independent journalism".

[23] Over time, Dud's YouTube channel grew from one-on-one interviews to documentary films on social issues and recent Russian history.

[31] Dmitry Sokolov-Mitrich [ru], who witnessed the events, criticized Dud for what he called was a biased description of the storming of the school by Russian forces.

[36] After its release, the politician Fedot Tumusov organized a screening in the State Duma in order to motivate other deputies to work on the issue.

[37] The head of the Audit Chamber of Russia, Alexei Kudrin, ordered his department to carefully examine support measures provided to those living with HIV in the country.

The head of the Federal Centre for the Prevention and Control of the Spread of AIDS, Vadim Pokrovsky told media that the number of people willing to perform HIV tests doubled.

[40] Many of them (like Mikita Mikado or Andrey Doronichev from Google) were yet unknown to wide Russian audience and 'woke up famous' with social network accounts bursting with thousands of new followers.

[41] Although the film was generally praised,[42] it was criticized for making the Silicon Valley business environment seem too positive, as it did not tell the story of hardship and failure.

[45][46] The film opens up on the issue of violence and torture in Russia's penitential facilities that stay undisclosed and uninvestigated, where often the victims are unable to sue their offenders.

[52] A complaint about his anti-war posts were filed to the Prosecutor-General of Russia's Office and Ministry of Justice, calling for Dud to be designated as a "foreign agent".
