FPSRussia | Where Are They Now? | Fighting Cancer, Jail & Long Running Lawsuit
Before They Were Famous - A podcast by Michael McCrudden

YouTuber FPSRussia, whose real name is Kyle Myers, once operated the most successful firearms and explosives channel on the platform. What set his content apart from all the rest was Kyle’s performance as “Dmitri Potapoff”, a reputed Russian from Moscow who would explore the ins and outs of a new firearm in each video, all while entertaining his audience with anecdotes in a thick, and fake, Russian accent. It was a winning formula and one that has attracted a whole lot of eyeballs – in fact, despite not having posted a single video to that channel in well over five years, FPSRussia continues to grow its subscriber base as more and more people discover it. Today, it has nearly 7 Million followers. So, why hasn’t Kyle uploaded anything since 2016? Well, to make a long story short, the reasoning involves serious crime, a handful of Federal Raids, a prison sentence, and a recent cancer diagnosis. In other words, the former FPSRussia, well, he’s got a lot on his plate. But has he disappeared for good?
