Evgeny Chebotarev, a stuntman and content creator from Rostov-on-Don, has once again drawn attention with his extreme stunts. His Instagram Reel showing the demolition of an old brick chimney garnered more than 30 million views within the first day.
Chebotarev used five GAZon trucks and spent around $19,000. The footage shows the content creator jumping off the vehicle seconds before it crashes into the structure at high speed. It took five attempts to destroy the chimney.
Dozens of viewers watched the process live, while the video quickly went viral and triggered strong emotions among users.
Chebotarev is known for his expensive and dangerous automotive stunts. He has buried a car in concrete, flown through a bus windshield, staged destructive car crashes, and performed other risky spectacles that have garnered tens of millions of views.
Several users left ironic comments under the video.
«So if I got this right, the village administration was looking for contractors to demolish the unsafe chimney, and instead they ended up getting paid and also having it torn down?»
«How much for the bricks?»
«And they say life in a village is boring,» the users wrote.
Chebotarev describes his projects as «extreme shows»; however, his videos occasionally spark arguments. Some users admire his content, others wonder how he is still alive and financially stable, while a third group condemns him for destruction for the sake of content.
