About TRUE STORIES

TRUE STORIES, run by Daria Kulum under the handle @lensmediaprod, is a Russian-language YouTube channel from Russia. The channel publishes interview-driven clips about unusual professions, Moscow venues and true-crime subjects, mostly as short vertical videos with a few longer interviews. The channel has about 1,640 subscribers and roughly 2,000 median views per video. Its audience is estimated, not measured, to be mainly Russian-speaking adults in their twenties and thirties, mostly in Russia. Uploads have paused for more than a year.

No sponsored integrations appear in the recent videos, so there is no brand track record on the channel. Estimated rates are $150 to $250 per video, which works out to a CPM of $20 to $35 per 1,000 views, compared with the $10 to $30 CPM typical for paid ads. Brands seeking low-cost Russian-language reach with a documentary tone may find the price reasonable, provided the content fits their category.

This channel suits brands in travel, culture, and the Moscow hospitality or entertainment scene that can accept mature themes. Family-focused or conservative brands should look elsewhere.
