In the world of viral memes, it's hard to predict who will be the next star. But there are those who, with their charisma and unforgettable expressions, remain on the wave of popularity even after years. One of such memetic heroes is Vitaly Chepurko, known as the "Poltava Pallium".

From arson to popularity

Vitaly Chepurko became popular thanks to a video that first appeared back in 2010, but gained real popularity in early 2022. His catchphrase "Well, I like the way it burns" became so viral that even decades later people remember it and use it in different contexts.

New stage of life: Video blogging

After serving his term, Vitaly returned to Poltava and decided to try himself in a new role — video blogger. His YouTube channel is steadily gaining popularity, because viewers want to know more about the life of a person who became an Internet star. "They explained to me that in this sense you will not sit down anymore, " Chepurko admits, talking about his new sources of income.

Leaving Poltava

Even visits to the capital did not go unnoticed by subscribers: Vitaly earned 10, 000 hryvnias for advertising one of the Kyiv clothing stores. This once again confirms that his popularity goes beyond the borders of one city.

Raising quail: a new hobby or business?

In addition to video blogging, Vitaly is engaged in raising quail, which has become a new hobby. "If I had given Putin, I think I would have become the king of the mountain, " he adds with a smile, hinting at his enduring popularity.

Conclusions

The story of Vitaly Chepurka is an example of how the Internet can change a person's life. His experience shows that even from a negative background you can create something positive and creative. Vitaly continues to surprise his followers and, it seems, is not going to stop.
