Russia’s gaming scene is huge, diverse and platform-agile – YouTube creators with multi-million subscriber counts sit alongside Twitch stars who draw tens of thousands of concurrent viewers. Whether you’re a brand, casting director, or talent manager, knowing which Russian streamers carry the largest fanbases helps you plan collaborations, esports activations and content-first campaigns that actually move the needle.
Below you’ll find a curated, up-to-date list of 15 Russian (or Russian-language) gaming streamers with the biggest audiences across YouTube and Twitch. For each creator I note where they stream, what they’re known for, and the approximate audience size (snapshots and sources are cited). Where counts fluctuate I’ve used recent public stats (January 2026) and labelled them “approx.” so you can verify current numbers before outreach.
Why these streamers matter (quick context)
- Scale + reach: Russia’s top gaming YouTubers have subscriber counts in the multi-millions, while top Twitch streamers pull consistent concurrent audiences in the tens of thousands – both are valuable depending on your campaign format.
- Cross-platform power: Many big YouTube gaming channels post clips to TikTok, Instagram and VK – extending organic reach beyond live viewers.
- Niche credibility: Some creators specialise in Minecraft or Roblox (huge youth audiences), others in Dota/CS:GO/esports, or variety gaming and IRL streams – pick the niche that matches your goal.

How to pick the right Russian streamer for your campaign
- Objective first: awareness (YouTube mega-channels) vs conversions or live engagement (Twitch).
- Audience fit: Minecraft/YouTube family content reaches younger audiences; Dota/CS streamers reach hardcore esports fans.
- Engagement over size: a 1M fanbase with 10% engagement can outperform a 5M channel with 1% engagement for conversions.
- Cross-platform planning: plan deliverables for stream + short clips + socials to maximise ROI.
- Local nuance: language/dialect, time zone and community norms matter – Russian audiences respond well to authentic hosts who own the creative idea.
Why streamers should be on Cast Artists
Cast Artists helps creators and brands bridge the gap between discovery and booking:
- For streamers: build a professional portfolio (stream highlights, reels, sponsorship history), get casting calls for ads, events, and branded content.
- For brands & producers: search verified creator profiles by niche (Minecraft, Dota, variety), platform, audience demo and past campaigns – then invite creators to submit proposals or audition.
- For both: negotiate usage rights, schedule delivery and secure production support – saving time and reducing risk on high-value activations.
If you want a verified, casting-ready shortlist of Russian gaming creators filtered by platform (YouTube/Twitch), genre (Minecraft, Dota, variety), or audience demo, Cast Artists can prepare a tailored pack with up-to-date follower snapshots and contact details.
Quick verification & outreach tips
- Ask for a current media kit (audience geography, average views, engagement).
- Request a trial clip or stream activation before committing to a multi-month deal.
- Negotiate clear usage and exclusivity terms – live streams often include short-form repurposing rights.
