A blogger is a new profession that is becoming more popular day by day. However, not everyone who felt like a blogger is able to fully master it. Moreover, not everyone can find, captivate and retain their user audience. One of such successful authors who managed to attract the attention of a large number of people is Dmitry Dzygovbrodsky. We will talk about him today in our article.
Brief information from the biography of Dmitry
Despite his great popularity on the Web, Dzygovbrodsky is very modest and tries not to tell in detail about his biography. Either because he does not intend to share the details of his past, as he himself says, life, or simply does not want to spread about this. It is known that Dmitry was born on December 25, 1981 in the city of Dnepropetrovsk (Ukraine). There he lived for a long time on the street with the honorary name of Heroes.
Dmitry's education
Dzygovbrodsky Dmitry from childhood was a prominent and gifted child. So, in 1996, he graduated with honors from music school number 15 in piano. Received a red diploma. And exactly three years later, as an external student, he completed his studies at the gymnasium No. 66 in economics, earning a diploma and a gold medal.
Dmitry received his higher education at the Dnepropetrovsk National University, where he studied the future science fiction writer at the Faculty of Applied Economics from 1999 to 2004. Upon graduation, a young talented person received a bachelor’s and specialist diploma in economics.
Interestingly, before receiving a document on graduation, Dmitry managed to defend his thesis in English. Subsequently, his fascination with foreign languages allowed him to obtain a certificate which stated that he had been assigned a certain qualification as a translator. However, Dmitry Dzygovbrodsky did not work by profession. As it turned out, later he was attracted to completely different directions, only partially related to statistics and economics.
First steps in a production environment
One of Dmitry’s first jobs was the Good news agency, where he was offered a journalist position that was not his own. At that time, his duties included writing and editing ready-made articles, as well as preparing for the publication of newspaper material and developing an advertising strategy. And although the development of a new profession attracted a young man, in a new place he worked for only four months.
Mastering the profession of technical consultant
The next organization where Dmitry Dzygovbrodsky contacted was Fregat. According to the blogger, she specialized in providing Internet communication services to the population. It was here that the writer and activist received the position of administrator or consultant on technical issues, which allowed him to gain tremendous experience working with the Internet settings. However, the prospect of an ordinary employee did not appeal to the young man too much, so in August 2004 he changed his job.
On the crest of a career wave
The new company where Dmitry, inclined to self-development, got a job, was LLC PKP YuVIS. It was in this company that the blogger managed to apply his knowledge of an economist, successfully combining them with the little experience of a journalist and analyst. In this organization, a science fiction writer held the position of an economist and analyst, which gave him the opportunity to organize and make a variety of presentations. Dmitry worked there exactly a year and in 2005 he was already looking for a new vacancy.
A little later, Dmitry Dzygovbrodsky miraculously ended up in Metal Courier. An honorary and responsible position of an editor awaited the blogger at this international news agency, which allowed him to significantly expand the range of his interests and responsibilities.
In the period from 2006 to 2007, Dmitry again decided to recall his economic education, so he easily agreed to the proposal received from representatives of PKF Velta LLC. In this organization, he was engaged in financial analytics and worked as an economist.
Since the end of 2007, blogger Dmitry Dzygovbrodsky has radically changed his approach to work. This time his choice fell on freelance. In particular, the science fiction writer was interested in the prospect of a copywriter. Until 2009, he was engaged in writing unique articles on order, and also worked on many of today's popular freelance exchanges.
Dmitry's writing career
Shortly before Dmitry mastered the art of copywriting, the talent of a science fiction writer awoke in him. At first, these were short stories written on various free Internet sites for “free authors”. Then, Dzygovbrodsky noticed and appreciated his talent. So his first collections of short stories appeared, and after that also hardcover books.
At the moment, Dmitry Dzygovbrodsky (his biography is presented in our article) has written and published over 30 diverse stories. In them he described the post-apocalyptic world, the future, myths and legends, and also answered the most exciting questions of humanity. Among the most common works of the author:
- "Weed herbs";
- "The sky over Prokhorovka";
- "Confessor";
- "Going into the Darkness";
- "Indulgence";
- "Dragon and the Knight";
- "Night libertango";
- Psychopomp;
- “The Case of the Missing Shoe” and others.
Collaboration with other authors: Natalia Schneider, Dmitry Dzygovbrodsky
In addition to his own fantastic stories, Dmitry created works in collaboration with other writers. Moreover, such a tandem sometimes bore fruit. For example, one of the most successful projects that the author managed to organize together with his colleagues is the sensational Weed Herbs. This book, according to Dmitry, was written in 2012 together with a native of Izhevsk, Natalya Schneider.
The novel refers to a couple of doctors who are investigating the true cause of the disappearance of people. According to the plot, a post-apocalyptic world appears in front of the reader, in which about 20% of the inhabitants disappear. The main characters have to find out the reason for their disappearance, as well as face a new threat to humanity, the surviving ...
The book "Weed Herbs" was widely publicized and was released in large circulation. “Surprisingly, users and readers liked the novel,” says Dmitry Dzygovbrodsky (who can be found in our article).
A blogger is not a job, but a vocation
And, although Dmitry’s writing career went uphill, he decided to expand his opportunities by taking his place of honor in the blogosphere. According to the author himself, the reason for taking on a mouse and keyboard arose immediately after an armed coup took place in his country and strange political movements began. At this moment, he firmly decided to take an active part in the open information war. So, Dzygovbrodsky started a page in LiveJournal and began to publish his opinion, state real events and lay out other information relating to events in southeastern Ukraine.
According to the blogger, this decision was without monetary background and solely on a voluntary basis. That's how Dmitry Dzygovbrodsky became a blogger. A photo of him can be found below.
Blogging activity of Dmitry
Having become a blogger under the nickname Da-dzi, Dzygovbrodsky, as they say, got in the right direction. His LiveJournal page has become popular among compatriots and empathizing from other countries.
He later met other activist authors, bloggers, and administrators from the Anti-Maidan groups. He regularly met with them at events where they discussed and coordinated future actions in the fight against injustice.
For example, in July 2015, he came to Moscow, where a special coordinating council of bloggers was organized under the patriotic name “For Sovereignty”. Among the participants of the anti-Madain movement at this event gathered such famous personalities as:
- Anatoly Wasserman;
- Evgeny Fedorov (State Duma deputy);
- Maria Katasonova (head of the youth association NOD);
- Yuri Berezin;
- Sergey Kolesnikov;
- Artyom Artyomov and others.
Fundraising for the needy and afflicted
In addition to writing articles on his pages, Dmitry published bank card details and e-wallet numbers. In this way, he supported his information resources, and also raised money for medicines and products for people in need in southeastern Ukraine. Acquired uniforms and ammunition for militias. For this, his sites, LiveJournal pages and even these accounts were blocked repeatedly.
Difficulties in translation or first problems
Due to the fact that Dmitry began to actively oppose the current Kiev regime, he became the object of harassment by representatives of the security service. At the same time, not only did he receive various threats, but his biography, photos and contact details soon appeared on the infamous site Peacemaker and other similar resources. It was on these sites that information about the so-called terrorists and separatists was introduced and published. On one of these web resources, Dzygovbrodsky was called "a fierce separatist, an accomplice of terrorists and Russian aggressors, an illegal armed group fighter."
After his departure from Ukraine, the blogger continued his activities by organizing several anti-Maidan associations.
Acquaintance and quarrel with Antipologovym
By the nature of his work, Dmitry regularly met various people who supported his political point of view. So, at one of the Crimean Spring forums, the blogger met with Alexei Anpilogov (alex_anpilogov), who is the organizer of the New Russia Coordination Center. Later they found common interests, and they continued to work.
However, despite all the advantages of this tandem, very soon there was a conflict between Dmitry Dzygovbrodsky and Anpilogov. According to Alexey himself, the quarrel was connected with the scandal over fundraising. “There was clear information that Dmitry was appropriating part of the money to himself, and was also associated with the mysteriously disappearing humanitarian aid purchased for voluntary donations,” Anpilogov said. True or not, it's hard to say. Only both representatives of Antimaydan no longer cooperate and prefer not to meet.
At the moment, Dmitry continues to blog, and since the fall of this year, according to the “Peacemaker”, he has returned to Ukraine and is serving in the Volunteer Volunteer rebel battalion in the Donbass.
