Vladimir Solovyov has been a strong proponent of the war in Ukraine, encouraging every young, able-bodied man to go fight in Ukraine. However, his own son is accused of working as a highly-paid male model in London instead.
Daniil Solovyov, we salute you. You are indeed a Fortunate Son to have such a loving father, a man with eight children from three different women, yet cares so much for each of his children that he won't even sacrifice one for Vladimir Putin's genocidal war.

Vladimir Solovyov is one of the most influential propagandists in Russia. He has been repeatedly honored with medals by President Vladimir Putin and positions himself as someone whose patriotism is beyond reproach. Donning military outfits, Solovyov aggressively promotes the invasion of Ukraine, frequently travels to the frontlines, and routinely encourages every able-bodied Russian male to enlist or volunteer.
The Russian TV star’s on-air rants are often directed at anyone who isn’t taking part in the so-called “special military operation.” He reserves special ire for young people who left the country to avoid a military mobilization and those who aren’t eager to participate in what Solovyov frequently describes as another “Great Patriotic war,” “jihad” or Russia’s “holy war” against the West.
Most recently, during his show “Full Contact” on Monday, the boisterous host asserted that young people were instrumental in World War II. He stressed that it is a patriotic obligation of every young Russian male to make a contribution to the war effort.
But just a day earlier, a viral Tweet had called out Solovyov’s eldest son, 21-year-old Daniil Solovyov, accusing him of working as a male model in London instead of volunteering to go into battle in Putin’s imperial war of conquest. The tweet included a photo of Solovyov with his son, in addition to multiple pictures of Daniil, including one that appears to be professionally shot.
The tweets pretty much write themselves.
And of course, Ukraine is on it, making young Daniil Solovyov the face of Russian recruitment efforts with some A+ trolling.
