| '''Yuri Mikhailovich Kuznetsov''' (30 June 1988), also known as '''kuz'''<ref>"On the internet I use the moniker "kuz"." - kuz.lol</ref>, and '''k♡♡z''' by his fans, is a 34 year old Russian business magnate and the current owner of [[soyjak.party]]<ref>https://t.me/dailyjak/241</ref><ref>https://t.me/KUZNETSOV_kn/64</ref>. Kuz is the CEO of the [[Kolyma Network]]<ref><nowiki>https://www.kolyma.org/about</nowiki></ref>, a company which is known for its shady under the table activity. It provides services such as webhosting, server rental, and VPNs<ref>kolyma.org</ref>. He also administrated [https://heyuri.net Heyuri]<ref>heyuri.net</ref>, and his company hosts many [[Imageboard|imageboards]] with illegal or immoral content, such as Gurochan<ref>The front page has information about KolymaNET and its involvement. https://guro.cx - WARNING, NSFW CONTENT</ref>. His [[Schizophrenia|eccentric attitude]], [[NSS|bizarre ideas]], and unusual websites lead him to both success and initial controversy.

| Kuz is likely one of, if not the most influential and controversial soyjak.party users in history, even before his purchase of the site in 2022.<ref>Kuz is mentioned on the catalog almost as much as soot, and yurijak variants a testament to his influence on jakkers. His attempted purchase and this wiki article all further cement this.</ref> Kuz has many [[Discord|detractors]] who hold him responsible for several major issues facing the site,<ref name=":3">Just one kuz tripcode post can send the board into a flurry</ref> and a [[NSS|large base of followers]]. On July 16th, kuz announced to his Telegram channel that he had bought the 'party and would be replacing soot as its admin.<ref>https://t.me/KUZNETSOV_kn/64</ref> Soon after, KNN posted this news, and soot made a sticky for a goodbye Q&A, confirming the post.<ref>https://live.kolyma.org/newsplus/koko.php?res=1709</ref>

| == Background ==
| | ANGELENO IS A SISSY SLUT FOR BBC |
| Kuz was born in 1988 in Omsk, russia. To a poor family, on the outskirts of a village, several miles from the Kazakh border.<ref name=":1">[https://archive.fo/QWh0b#selection-41.0-45.427 https://archive.fo/QWh0b]</ref><ref>http://okato-kod.ru/55024000006.html</ref> Kuz is married,<ref><nowiki>https://kuz.lol</nowiki></ref> He lives in Memphis, Tennessee after allegedly fleeing the russian federation for tax evasion.<ref>https://archive.fo/QWh0b</ref><ref>https://archive.fo/QWh0b</ref>
| | [[File:9865309485.jpg]] |
| | | ANGELENO IS A SISSY SLUT FOR BBC |
| In 2005, kuz started a russian textboard website called 9channel<ref>https://archive.fo/QWh0b</ref>, which was notably the first Russian textboard.<ref>"In 2005, Kuznetsov began working for a Russian internet services provider called Mag-Net, which provided internet for eastern Russia, primarily, Magadan, hence the name. Either before or during this same time, he started an internet textboard website called 9channel (more on this later). The site was tor-only with a clearweb gateway. It was never hugely popular as he would like to claim in later years, never surpassing more than 10,000 daily posts. The site caught notice of local authorities, and was later brought to the clearweb. From this moment on, Kuznetsov likely was at least aware that authorities were closely watching him. The sites purpose varied, but it was largely for sharing links to pornography, sometimes illegal pornography. Kuznetsov likes to claim it was filesharing pirated materials, but history would like to say otherwise."</ref> The site grew but never became particularly active, although kuz likes to pretend it was "the biggest anonymous website in russia", [[though]] this is very [[Debunked|easibly disproven]]. The website was widely known to be only a hotbed for the sharing of [[Dancing swede.mp4|illegal material]], pirated movies, and "crime announcements", or posts announcing or displaying small crimes (like vandalism) anonymously. The latter became such a problem that it is specifically written into the Kolyma Networks rules that "crime announcements" are banned, although this did little to curb the problem. The website was shut down in 2017 along with most of kuz's websites.<ref>https://archive.fo/QWh0b</ref><ref>https://kolyma.org/about </ref><ref><nowiki>https://devyach.net/9ch.html</nowiki></ref>
| | [[File:12341234.png]] |
| | | ANGELENO IS A SISSY SLUT FOR BBC |
| Proof of the existance of 9channel is scarce as users of the website were generally rather secretive. There are no public archives, as kuz refuses to release any, the site also is not on archive.org or archive.is because it is was tor-only.<ref>Please replace this citation with one from one of kuz's sites. He has said this multiple times but i cant find it</ref> There is however a "Devyach" (9ch in russian) twitter account which contains a tor link and was created in 2009.<ref><nowiki>https://twitter.com/devyach</nowiki></ref> This is very likely the real 9channel as it cites its location as Omsk, russia, and contains a common 9ch slogan in the description.<ref>https://twitter.com/devyach</ref>

| [[File:Kuz army photo.png|thumb|Kuz/Eduardo in army uniform.]] | | ANGELENO IS A SISSY SLUT FOR BBC |
| In 2008, kuz contracted [[Faggot|HIV]] from a prostitute on a "business" trip to poland.<ref>https://archive.fo/QWh0b#selection-131.312-131.424</ref> Critics suggest he actually contracted it from being brutally raped in the russian military, which is a common occurrence.<ref>https://www.themoscowtimes.com/2020/02/17/decade-after-military-reform-hazing-plagues-russian-army-a69309</ref> <s>However kuz never actually served in the military, citing poor eyesight.</s><ref name=":1" /> Pictures leaked in 2022 prove kuz actually did serve in the russian military, giving credance to the rape theory.

| ==== Political opinions ====
| | [[File:12341234.png]] |
| Kuz's political opinions seem to change to fit whatever is currently best for him at the moment, although he did once condemn conflict in ukraine, writing a lengthy blogpost on why it was bad from a moral standpoint.<blockquote>"The estimated toll of all the deaths caused by the Conflict in Ukraine is 33,000. Both civilians and soldiers. When the media reports on these numbers, they will simply leave it at that, but the actual price of that number is immeasurably greater." " [... ]This is why I will never support conflict in Ukraine or elsewhere."<ref>https://t.me/kuz_channel/46</ref></blockquote>

| === Source of wealth ===
| | ANGELENO IS A SISSY SLUT FOR BBC |
| Kuz's net worth is about 108M rubles, or roughly 1.4 Million dollars. He regularly drops large amounts of money on websites he likes in attempts to buy them. Offering "2k for the sharty" at one point. He also bought a website called [[Vidlii]], for an undisclosed number, allgedly about 5,000. In 2021 he bought Gurochan, and has offered thousands for other imageboard websites<ref>Various self-leaked emails over the years. Unknown how many of these offers were serious but at least 2 (Sharty and lainchan) actually began before the admins changed their mind.</ref> His company, KolymaNET, is also the largest internet provider in Omsk, and kuz owns several datacenters in russia and Turkey.<ref>"[...] We also offer colocation and DDOS protection from our datacenters in Russia, Turkey, and USA." - kolyma.org frontpage</ref>
| | [[File:9865309485.jpg]] |
| | | ANGELENO IS A SISSY SLUT FOR BBC |
| Some speculate most of his money was gained through an illicit exit scam,<ref>The Rychuvak Scandal (see below)</ref> but the source of his money is unknown. He has said on a few occasions that it was from "smart investments" and "good luck"

| ==Relationship with Soyjak Party==
| | [[File:30986351.png]] |
| [[File:IAS Kuzjak.png|alt=|thumb|The Yurijak variant is a quickly growing soyjak variant originally depicting Kuz/Eduardo, but it has began to be used to depict Russians in general.]]Kuz has been subject to multiple controversies throughout his career. | | ANGELENO IS A SISSY SLUT FOR BBC |
| Kuz is [[best known for]] for being the center of several major controversies and drama on the 'party, such as CP spam, DDOS attacks, attempts to overthrow [[soot]], [[Vandalism#On_the_Soyjak_Wiki|wiki vandalism]], pro-kuz propaganda spam, psy-ops, doxxing, bad-faith arguments, and others.<ref>[[Schizophrenia]]</ref>
| | [[File:9865309485.jpg]] |
| | | ANGELENO IS A SISSY SLUT FOR BBC |
| Reception on Kuz amongst 'party users is mixed.<ref name=":2"><nowiki>https://soyjak.party/soy/catalog.html</nowiki></ref> While many admire his willingness to communicate with the userbase, develop software, pay server bills, and engage in community actions like 'jak making, a vast number of 'party users critisize him, citing CP spam, threats, hypocrisy, and more. At any one time the catalog could be overwhelmingly supportive of kuz, to every other thread spiting him.<ref name=":2" />
| | [[File:12341234.png]] |
| | | ANGELENO IS A SISSY SLUT FOR BBC |
| === Contributions ===
| | [[File:30986351.png]] |
| Kuz was the originator of multiple trends on the Party. Critics allege that these contributions are part of a coordinated effort to mentally manipulate and demoralise the party's userbase in preparation of a possible takeover; however, as of the time of writing, historic analysis on the authenticity of these trends has yet to be carried out.[[File:ancient_kuz_irc_raid.jpg|400px|thumb|right|Kuz lone-raiding #4chan in october of 2020, using "soyspeak".]]

| ==== Early soyjak-related activity ====
| | ANGELENO IS A SISSY SLUT FOR BBC |
| Kuz's first publicly recorded soyduel was in September of 2020.<ref>https://archive.wakarimasen.moe/qa/thread/3505885</ref> Back then, he had a habit of using what he named "soyspeak" as a way of antagonizing 4chan users.

| ==== Even tho BBC====
| | ANGELENO IS A SISSY SLUT FOR BBC |
| Kuz seems to have kickstarted this meme in early November 2021. Though he has noted that he was not the first to make such a thread, he did popularize it by flooding the entire catalog with <span style="color:#117743">>even tho bbc</span> spam and [[BBC]] gibberish in December of 2021.<ref>Catalog on dec 12 2021 and a telegram post made by kuz</ref>

| ====Alternative rating standards====
| | [[File:12341234.png]] |
| Kuz invented [[iron]] and rustjaks<ref>they did not appear before kuz uploaded them to the booru under his account, he also pushed for their use on his personal website.</ref>, and originally proposed "[[iron]]" and "[[rust]]" as a replacement to [[gem]] and [[coal]]. This later kickstarted other rating systems, based off kuz's original proposal. Such as tseries/pewds, mustard/ketchup, and the elemental rating system. In typical kuz fashion, when it was exposed that the iron/rust grifting was his doing he denied it all and blamed it on hackers.<ref>https://archive.fo/jqIMF</ref>

| ===Attempted purchase ===
| | [[File:12341234.png]] |
| On January 25, Kuz leaked emails between him and [[soot]] wherein soot offered to sell the 'party to kuz.<ref name=":0">https://archive.fo/HSper</ref> However, this thread turned out to be a troll. Soot '''did actually try to sell the site to kuz'''<ref name=":0" />, but after things cleared up in his personal life and he changed his mind, with kuz apparently making this thread just for some [[(You)]]'s after he knew the deal fell through.
| | ANGELENO IS A SISSY SLUT FOR BBC |
| | | [[File:30986351.png]] |
| The deal was for 600$ in bitcoin in return for ownership of soyjak.party and a backup of the site on the day of the transfer, effectively giving kuz complete control over the site.
| | ANGELENO IS A SISSY SLUT FOR BBC |
| | | [[File:9865309485.jpg]] |
| Kuz later made another thread criticizing soot for being rude to him, soot apologized but said that Kuz's response to the failed deal was "immature"<ref>https://archive.fo/BngLW</ref>.
| | ANGELENO IS A SISSY SLUT FOR BBC |
| | | [[File:12341234.png]] |
| Amongst the leaked emails were multiple emails to soot '''which soot answered''' that contained requests for IP's of posters on the 'party, as well as requests for thread deletions for 'legal issues'. Whether soot accepted these requests is unknown.

| === February 16th Debate ===
| | ANGELENO IS A SISSY SLUT FOR BBC |
| {{tip|The soywiki takes no stance on current issues and tries to report on current events without bias, please keep this in mind when editing, and add multiple sources from both sides.}}

| | | ANGELENO IS A SISSY SLUT FOR BBC |
| On February 16h, 2022, after hours of kuz-related spam [[BBC war|and severe wiki vandalism]], soot and multiple mods finally broke and accused a random user<ref><nowiki>https://archive.ph/HcbwF</nowiki></ref> of being kuz.<ref>https://soyjak.party/soy//res/343127.html</ref>
| | [[File:12341234.png]] |
| | | ANGELENO IS A SISSY SLUT FOR BBC |
| The ensuing chaos marked the singular largest kuz-related sperg out since the 'party began.
| | [[File:30986351.png]] |
| | | ANGELENO IS A SISSY SLUT FOR BBC |
| ==== Soot's accusation ====
| | [[File:9865309485.jpg]] |
| In a kuz-related thread, soot made a post with the revalation that, despite leaving, kuz was actually still in the 'party, and in this very thread.<ref>https://soyjak.party/soy//res/343127.html#343165</ref> The thread blew up seconds later. Many users were skeptical and offended that soot was leaking the location of a user, and many more were gleeful that soot finally took a stance on the kuz issue.
| | ANGELENO IS A SISSY SLUT FOR BBC |
| | | [[File:12341234.png]] |
| Within minutes chuds pointed out that just because the user was located in Maryville, Tennesee, didnt mean it was kuz, as kuz lived hundreds of miles away in memphis.<ref name=":4">https://soyjak.party/soy//res/343127.html</ref> However, soot rebutted claiming that they were from the same ISP.<ref>https://soyjak.party/soy//res/343127.html</ref> While defensive at first, saying he was "tired of kuzs false flags" [sic]<ref>https://soyjak.party/soy//res/343127.html#343210</ref> soot later apologized and said he "believed kuz was actually a good guy".<ref>https://soyjak.party/soy//res/343127.html#343391</ref>
| | ANGELENO IS A SISSY SLUT FOR BBC |
| | | [[File:30986351.png]] |
| The following the day, the chud was proved not to be kuz, as he posted a picture of his european wall outlet and tanned hand, confirming it was not kuz.<ref>https://archive.ph/HcbwF</ref>
| | ANGELENO IS A SISSY SLUT FOR BBC |
| | | [[File:9865309485.jpg]] |
| ==== Kuz's assorted responses ====
| | ANGELENO IS A SISSY SLUT FOR BBC |
| Kuz posted in the thread repeatedly.<ref name=":4" /> In an unusually calm and polite tone, he explained how he had left when he had, and that people who supported him were simply his actual grass roots supporters. He also shined a light on the growing problem of impersonation, and said that users threatening the life of his family and children was unacceptable.<ref>https://soyjak.party/soy//res/343127.html#343309</ref> He also quitely admitted to having members of the [[NSS]] patrol the website<ref>https://soyjak.party/soy//res/343127.html#343329</ref>. In a touching moment, kuz even said it "hurt him" to lecture soot so harshly, and he wished their relationship was better<ref>https://soyjak.party/soy//res/343127.html#343329</ref>.
| | [[File:12341234.png]] |
| | | ANGELENO IS A SISSY SLUT FOR BBC |
| Soots mood noticeably changed after kuz started responding, ending in them agreeing to "reconcile privately" through email.
| | [[File:30986351.png]] |
| | | ANGELENO IS A SISSY SLUT FOR BBC |
| ==== Users' responses ====
| | [[File:9865309485.jpg]] |
| As usual, responses were mixed, while many agreed with soots distaste of kuzs behavior, many of those same people berated soot for leaking private details of a user.<ref>https://soyjak.party/soy//res/343127.html#343212</ref> Kuz's many supporters came out in full force, posting their usual edits, while assorted anti-kuz personalities such as the morrocan, swede, and israeli also dropped in to give their 2 cents.<ref>https://soyjak.party/soy//res/343127.html</ref>
| | ANGELENO IS A SISSY SLUT FOR BBC |
| | | [[File:12341234.png]] |
| ==== Aftermath ====
| | ANGELENO IS A SISSY SLUT FOR BBC |
| The first ever filter was implimented in the party because of the thread, turning "kuz" from "im trans btw".<ref name=":4" /> This thread may also have marked a historic moment in the change of soots attitude towards kuz.

| === Second Soyvil War ===
| | [[File:9865309485.jpg]] |
| On February 21, after a Janny went rogue and deleted multiple threads and permabanned some users, as well as a mod going rogue and posting an tranny anime character with his capcode on, Kuz announced he was making his own 'party, known as soyak.party. <ref>https://t.me/dailyjak/92</ref><ref>https://t.me/dailyjak/93</ref> After Soot leaked dms between him and Kuz where he threatened to "ENACT THE PLAN TO DESTROY THE PARTY," many party members went there to mock him. Kuz then leaked their IPs in retaliation, causing more 'jakkers to bombard his website. Kuz subsequently shut the site down, but another user claimed he was responsible for the shutdown, by "exploiting flaws" in the site", but the pro-kuz camp denied this. The soyteen spammed another site using the software, Gurochan, but failed to replicate it, likely proving that it was kuz shutting it down. Kuz also redirected the site to a blogpost he made about health.
| |
| | |
| The 'ru was also deleted temporarily in the chaos, but the admin said it'd come back.
| |
| | |
| The dailyjak reported that Kuz had vowed to destroy the sharty by all means, but later edited it after saying that kuz had reached out to them and said it was "misinfo" and that he had never said anything of that sort.
| |
| | |
| The 'party hit kolyma, raiding Gurochan, the spamlist, and signing up kuz's wifes email to spam. Kuzists responded by wiping many pages on the wiki and spreading demoralization threads on /soy/ for hours. By 1AM, the fighting had ceased, with no major changes on either side. Kuz claimed in private that soot had made fake emails and spammed cp on his site as revenge for not "offering more money" in exchange for the party.
| |
| | |
| By the end, little trace of what happened was left. Soot or a similar mod deleted most drama threads on /soy/ and kuzs mods erased all traces of the raids on his sites.
| |
| | |
| This event saw many 'party users who formerly supported him turn away from his new extremist ways, especially after he leaked the IP's of people who spammed his website, including 2 people who uploaded CP. It also saw the final friendly link between kuz and soot severed, as both swore hatred against eachother, firmly splitting the 'party into two camps, The Kuz Camp (Kuzists) and the Soot Camp (Sootists), the Second Soyvil War has been these 2 factions fighting eachother for unknown reasons.
| |
| | |
| Within minutes of the war breaking out accusations began flying, with both kuz and soot accusing eachother of spamming cp on eachothers websites, with soot even claiming that Kuz had doxxed him privately.
| |
| | |
| Kuz seems to have made allies amongst users of the 9chan.tw bunker, with many anti-sootists coming there to proclaim their hatred for his datamining, and some saying kuz was right all along.
| |
| | |
| === [[The Great Purchase|Purchase]] ===
| |
| On July 16th, kuz announced that he had contacted soot and offered to buy the 'party for $2,000, to which soot accepted, and on July 17th, granted kuz ownership of the site and the booru in exchange for the money. The reactions to this news are mostly positive but there has also been prominent criticism from vocal anti-kuz groups within the site. Kuz has done little in line of censoring this discussion, to the surprise of some 'teens
| |
| | |
| Under kuz's ownership the 'party has seen a variety of changes. Kuz stickied a Jakbox thread after a moratorium on such threads had existed under soot, reviving the genre into its likely all time peak. In addition to this, multiple Q&A threads were posted over the next few days where kuz discussed the sites needs. He ultimately decided on several new rules, such as banning BBC cobson spam, several board deletions, and new moderation staff, whom he says will be watched closely.
| |
| [[File:Kuz approved frog thread.png|thumb|Kuz lightened policies on some types of nas]] | |
| | |
| ==== Changes during his Administration ====
| |
| Since kuz's takeover, a variety of changes have been made to the site, some have been undone and others have stayed. Among these changes are
| |
| | |
| * Removing and re-adding several boards, ultimately settling on removing /tv/, /giga/, and /r9k/
| |
| * Adding 1 new board, /incel/. Containment board. widely considered one of the worst boards on the website.
| |
| * Making the bans page public, undoing all previous bans
| |
| * Several cosmetic changes
| |
| * A 4chan style blotter
| |
| * Several reworks of the rules, which were very unpopular at first, but after several Q&A threads he settled on a more acceptable version
| |
| * Attempting and failing to contain all namefag drama to the incel board, giving up after complaints of censorship
| |
| * Hiring several controversial moderators
| |
| * Deleting the stickies on almost every board
| |
| * Briefly reducing /soy/ to 10 pages, wiping almost every thread made prior to that day. Insisted on keeping this but later relented and restored all 40 pages
| |
| * Adding a hidden /test/ board - which contained strange, encoded messages and images. When soyteens discovered this he made the board require a password

| |
| | |
| "A message to my 50,000,000 fans around the world"
| |
| </ref>, specifically on his own websites, such as Heyuri<ref>any thread that mentions him is generally positive</ref>, 9channel<ref><nowiki>https://disco.devyach.net/apiru/</nowiki></ref>, Vidlii<ref name=":5">https://www.vidlii.com/watch?v=gKRB3I5rBLG see: the comments</ref>, and the Kolyma Network.
| |
| | |
| ==== Heyuri ====
| |
| Kuz's favorite website, according to himself. His supporters there number about a dozen, because the site is incredibly small.
| |
| | |
| ==== Devyach (9channel) ====
| |
| The first website Kuz ever made, all the way back in 2005. User estimations range from 1,500 to 20,000, with Kuz claiming over 1,000,000 users. Regardless, it was significantly more active than Heyuri, likely equal in size to or larger then the 'party itself during its hayday in the early 2010s. However Kuz was forced to shut it down in 2017.
| |
| | |
| His popularity there is massive, with several "9channel" discord servers popping up during and after the 2017 collapse, which Kuz sometimes visited or even owned, where he would nearly always be met with praise.
| |
| | |
| In January of 2013, 9channel users attempted to rig a public vote for the name of a new Coal Power Plant (how apt), proposing it be named the "Y. M. Kuznetsov Power Production Plant", however the vote was cancelled. This later became a meme on 9channel.<ref>https://disco.devyach.net/apiru/koko.php?res=6578</ref>
| |
| | |
| ==== Vidlii ====

| In february of 2022, Kuz bought Vidlii.com, a German video sharing website. The site was in complete disrepair and was about to be shut down when Kuz bought it, removed the ads, increased video quality, and opened up user registration. He was met with praise<ref name=":5" /> and some minor controversy.<ref>https://live.kolyma.org/newsplus/koko.php?res=182</ref>

| | |
| ==== Kissu ====
| |
| Kissu is an american /qa/-based imageboard, of which Kuz was formerly a part of. Kissu and Kolyma had a brief war where cp spam was exchanged before both sides banned mention of eachother.
| |
| | |
| The war was very unpopular in Kolyma since many Heyuri users enjoyed kissu's content, but kuz reiterated his "pro war" stance and the sites name was banned and its Owner (Kai Nicoll Griffith) added to a list of "Enemies of Kolyma" in September of 2021.<ref>nss.kolyma.org/dangerous-websites/kissu</ref>[[File:Soot leaking IP.png|thumb|Kuz leaking the IP of a user who criticized him.]]

| | |
| ==Controversies==
| |
| [[File:Anti-kuzzer-posts-cp.png|thumb|Anti-Kuz poster accidentally blames kuz for the CP on the same IP he spammed it with]]Kuz has been subject to multiple controversies throughout his career. | |
| | |
| ===Child Pornography and Pedophilia Allegations===
| |
| In the past, kuz was commonly believed to be the perpetrator of the CP spam<ref>Mentions of "kuz" and "CP spam" are directly correlated in the catalog.</ref> that has plagued the 'party since its inception.
| |
| | |
| In February of 2022 another wave of CP and kuz drama hit /soy/ as multiple subtly edited bait and switch videos appeared on the 'log, using a number of famous soyjak videos with CP spliced in to wage psychological war on 'party users. CP spam often happened shortly after kuz made a public appearance, which lead many to believe it was him who was responsible.
| |
| | |
| [[Kuz impersonator|A person alleging to be kuz]] was seen in a Discord screenshot, wherein a user known as "Pollyanna" was repeatedly accused of being part of an "all-swedish pedophile discord cult" where users worshipped a 16 year old girl known as "Hexagonalpeach". Pollyanna never denied her involvement with the group, instead claiming that the group was harmless and it was kuz who was antagonizing them. After a long argument where "kuz" posted several pictures showing "hex cultists" trying to entrap and frame him, the thread was deleted and the argument stopped. | |
| | |
| This theory has lost steam since kuz purchased the 'party but the CP spam continued, including the infamous [[Dancing swede.mp4#Evilson incident|Rapeson incident]], as well as several new suspects arising, many with much more weight to the claims, such as '''goth'''.
| |
| | |
| ===Datamining===
| |
| Kuz, or at least his company, is public about his datamining initiatives. His company's protection service, the [[NSS]], openly admits on their site that their goal is to:<blockquote>The NSS is tasked with a variety of tasks, such as monitoring dangerous users, cooperating with the surveillance office to collect and catalog information on certain users, remove internal and external threats, and ensure the social integrity of the whole of the Kolyma Network.</blockquote>The Network Security Service has been involved in a number of scandals and blackmailings, as well as false flag operation, psyops, and even assasinations (seriously).<ref>Kuz has repeatedly threatened to have people who crossed him "handled" and says he can "have anyone anywhere delt with within 24 hours"</ref>
| |
| | |
| ===Controlled Opposition ===
| |
| Some users of the 'party believe kuz deliberately hires people to hate him, then makes them act as stupid as possible to give the illusion that his enemies are retarded.
| |
| | |
| === Rychuvak Scandal ===
| |
| Kuz was involved in the creation of a bitcoin trading platform which mysteriously disappeared in 2018, causing about 250,000$ in bitcoin to be "lost". According to kuz, his partner "Vass Boldizar" took the servers with him, left and was never seen again.<ref>https://archive.fo/QWh0b#selection-123.0-151.460</ref>
| |
| | |
| ===Manipulating the dailyjak===
| |
| The [https://t.me/s/dailyjak dailyjak] is a soyjak posting telegram channel which regularly provides news posts and updates on the latest trends in jakking. It also provides news and updates on the 'party, and if they are careful to not portray him negatively, leading some to believe he manipulates the owner.
| |
| | |
| ===Tax evasion===
| |
| Kuz fled Russia in 2014 for tax evasion.<ref><nowiki>https://uyk2021.github.io</nowiki></ref>
| |
| | |
| === Anti-Vaccine disinfo===
| |
| Kuz regularly retweets anti-[[vaccine]] disinfo on his twitter account.<ref><nowiki>https://twitter.com/yurimkuznetsov</nowiki></ref>
| |
| | |
| ===Cybercrime===
| |
| On January 26, chuds called out for Kuz's websites to be DDOS'd. Minutes later, the 'party started issuing "DDoS attack warnings" and forcing users to click verify (doxx themselves to the [[NSS]]) before they could post.
| |
| | |
| Kuz once hacked the imageboard of one of his rivals and made it redirect to an expose.<ref>https://archive.fo/HGJlw (Look at the "redirected from" part)</ref>
| |
| | |
| === Sony Pictures hack ===
| |
| On November 26, 2021, Kuz allegedly retweeted<ref>https://twitter.com/Mango_Press_/status/1464245603563618332?cxt=HHwWuICyhcvnhdIoAAAA</ref> a conspiracy theory alleging that the [[wikipedia:Sony_Pictures_hack|2014 Sony Pictures hack]] was a false flag operation by the United States government to damage the international reputation of North Korea.
| |
| | |
| === Allegations of war crimes ===
| |
| On July 28th, 2022, Yuri Kuznetsov was implicated in a war crimes controversy after footage<ref>https://news.yahoo.com/horrifying-footage-appears-to-show-russian-captors-castrating-a-ukrainian-prisoner-of-war-221414554.html</ref> was uploaded to the internet depicting multiple Russian soldiers tying up and forcibly castrating an enemy, a violation of Articles 6 & 7 ("Crimes against humanity", "War crimes") of the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court.<ref>https://www.icc-cpi.int/sites/default/files/RS-Eng.pdf</ref> Ukranian intelligence alleges that the one who filmed the video was Yuri Kuznetsov (Private first class, combat group JAK), who had been deployed to Ukraine in May 2022;<ref>https://archive.4plebs.org/pol/thread/388683429/</ref><ref>https://archive.4plebs.org/pol/thread/388685762/#388687946</ref> however, these charges are denied by the Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation.
| |
| | |
| === Eduardo Incident ===
| |
| [[File:Eduardo instagram.png|thumb|A screenshot of his Instagram profile.]] | |
| Shortly after kuzs acquisition of the sharty, dataminers used reverse search technology to find Kuz's private social media. Leading him to private and unprivate them several times over the next few days, as well as heavily censor discussion of them. Interestingly, these accounts were made under the name "Eduardo", leading some to believe that kuz's real name is actually eduardo or that kuz is simply hiding is true identity and "Eduardo" is a stunt double.
| |
| | |
| == Temporary Disappearance ==
| |
| In early 2022, once it became clear that [[Soot]] would not sell him [[Soyjak.party|the 'party]], Kuz entered into a deep depressive state and noticeably changed. On February 5th, 2022, Kuz made his final post announcing that he was leaving the scene forever.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20220206054043/soyjak.party/soy//res/322024.html</ref> This was ultimately just a troll post and he just took a "Hiatus" to think on a new plan to buy the Sharty.
| |
| | |
| ==The death of Soot==
| |
| | |
| [[File:Ending of the sharty.png|thumb|"Guess I got what I deserve"]] | |
| | |
| Some Anonymous truthlers have theorized that Kuz could've possibly been behind Soot's disappearance, as he would directly benefit from his death. We now know that Soot was close friends with Kuz to the point of including this friend in his will, leaving Kuz as the sole heir to the sharty. Maybe Kuz took advantage of this, even if he didn't, it's still suspicious how all posts mentioning this have been deleted in less than 5 seconds and the poor posters permabanned and reported to their local authorities for possession of child pornography (which was planted on their computers using a virus that is installed on your computer the first time you open the nu-sharty)
