Ukrainian singer Ivan Dorn, who worked in Russia before the start of the full-scale war, now lives with his family in the capital of France, Paris. He recently recorded a humorous video in which he unexpectedly mentioned the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyi.

Ivan Dorn and haters: how the singer reacts to criticism

In the video, the 35-year-old artist reads hater's comments, where they call him obscene words, hint that he is a Muscovite, and also suggest that Ivan takes illegal substances. Humor and self-irony are the main tools Dorn uses to respond to criticism.

Zelenskyi on Dorna's Instagram: a moment of glory

Suddenly, a notification appears on the screen that Volodymyr Zelensky has subscribed to Dorn's Instagram. The frame changes, and in the background you can see the cozy streets of the French capital, and at that moment the Russian-language soundtrack of the series "Servant of the People", in which Zelensky played the main role before the start of his political career, begins to play.

"Ah, no, he already unsubscribed. A moment of fame. My moment of fame, " laughs Ivan Dorn in the video.

Irony and self-irony: Dorne's new image

In the next story, Dorn ironically calls himself a blogger, smiles and flushes the toilet. Ivan did not explain why the artist mentioned the President of Ukraine and what meaning his video had. But it is obvious that he plays on contrasts and humor, trying to draw attention to himself.

Conclusions from the situation

This case demonstrates how Ivan Dorn uses social media to maintain his image and interact with the public. Time will tell whether this will become a new trend in his career, but it is undeniable that this move has given him another dose of attention.
