1* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic:
2** Collaborated with DJ Blyatman and created [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QIjKijhv1OU SLAV KING]] a great piece of Hard Bass with pretty catchy lyrics.
3** Also collaborated with XS Project to create another awesome Hard Bass piece: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j7B4ACeXBHU RED ROUBLES]] with a special guest appearance by Anatoli
4** The music that plays in his videos by [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC7A3-bBLEXQKTYpH-sYQFJA uamee]], [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCusaOYfkki9drs2eIfRZGfQ Gopnik McBlyat]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnWnuHHjG-__QxuoZgjBgIg DJ Blyatman]] is pretty damn awesome too.
5* DoNotDoThisCoolThing: Boris often warns his audience not to emulate some of his more err..."unsafe", methods of cooking, which makes sense, considering he doesn't exactly use the most orthodox of utensils. Unless you know what you're doing, then go ahead!
6* EnsembleDarkhorse:
7** Despite not speaking much and rarely making appearances, Boris' cousin Anatoli is pretty well-liked for his strange antics with some of Boris' fan mails asking for more appearances from Anatoli.
8** Boris' cat Artyom has become much beloved by his fans. Mostly because he's ''absolutely adorable''.
9* FanonDiscontinuity: A humorous example, ever since the release of [[https://youtu.be/77OY9kKcFgY his proper cheese making video]], some commentors will say that everything Boris did [[https://youtu.be/3jrPg34NekM in the old video]] never happened.
10* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: In one video Boris was surprised to find out that his videos are extremely popular in the United States. In the Russian Crab Salad video, he displays a list of viewer demographics; turns out Americans represented a whopping 22% of his viewer base ([[AmericansHateTingle Russians, in contrast, only represented 1.9%]]; a figure shared with Romanians and Australians). He also has a small but sizable following in Germany and the UK, as both countries represented 4.9%.
11* OlderThanTheyThink: Some fans falsely credit Boris for popularizing the "cheeki breeki" meme but it was already a well-established joke within the ''{{VideoGame/STALKER}}'' fandom, [[JustForFun/OneOfUs in which he is part of]].
12* TearJerker:
13** [[https://youtu.be/A2udLGQ58qQ Cheeki Breeki Hardbass 2]], a music video that utilizes an unfinished track by the creator of the [[https://youtu.be/BnTW6fZz-1E Cheeki Breeki Hardbass Anthem]] video Apartje who had passed away the previous year.
14** A more minor example is whenever Boris [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness seriously talks]] about demonetization. While he manages to remain composed and positive when discussing the issue, it is fairly clear that he's frustrated, especially by the fact that despite having as many views as other popular Youtubers in the United States, he only gets a ''fraction'' of the revenue that they make due to Youtube's laws for out-of-country users.
15** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BEuLeLt6qsk all is lost]]. A statement made in response due to Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. Hearing the usually cheerful and proudly Slavic host being not only sad, but downright ''ashamed'' of his heritage, is heartbreaking.
16** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eB-A1Y0Dswc Thank you for watching]]. After months of being screwed by the algorithm and Youtube cutting his income down even further, Boris has decided to hang up his ushanka and stop consistently producing videos on the Life of Boris channel. Even if he did [[RayOfHopeEnding leave on a hopeful note]] by stating that he may still occasionally post some videos if he finds the time, most comments view it as the EndOfAnAge.
