Gleb Vyacheslavovich Korablev (September 13, 2001 - October 17, 2019) was an 18 year-old Russian Moscow State University student who shot himself in the head with either a Saiga-12K carbine or Lynx-12 during a VKontakte stream. The suicide of Gleb Korablev took 3 days to remove the video, on YouTube’s response. The video has been widespread online on numerous websites, mainly known as, “1444” on TikTok and YouTube. The stream was 2 hours and 54 minutes long, while a 17 second clip was mainly spread all over TikTok and Twitter.
Suicide
On October 17, 2019, Korablev started a livestream to the social media website VK, he sat his phone and Lynx-12 onto his couch and started setting his stand for the phone up. He starts playing with the gun until pointing it to his temple, he does it a couple of times until he gets a notification from his friend "Nikita." He swipes the notification, puts the Lynx onto his lap and says: "I'm going to kill myself." He closes his eyes for 20 seconds until getting another notification from Nikita. He gets up and swipes it again. Then, he sets back down, pointing the Lynx-12 at his temple one more time, he starts talking to Nikita, before proceeding to pull the trigger. The video broadcast kept live until his phone fell off the stand due to many notifications vibrating the phone. Until eventually, Russian authorities arrived in his apartment approximately 2 and a half hours later, and the phone later died after they arrived. Before committing suicide, Korablev said "Никита, если сообщишь моим родителям, я тебя с того света достану. Я знаю, что у тебя есть их номер. Ладно, лихом не поминайте. Как там говорилось? А, точно: ня, пока!" "Nikita, if you tell the parents about this too quickly, I will get you from beyond the grave. I know you have their phone number.*pause* Okay, don't think too bad of me. Anyway, how does the saying go? Ah, right: nya, bye!" The phrase "ня пока" was used in the final post of Renata Kambolina, an East Russian VK user who died by suicide on November 23rd, 2015 by intentionally decapitating herself with a train.
Viral Spread
On October 19, 2019, two days after his death, clips of Korablev's suicide originally made it on YouTube, on the now-deleted channel named "GORE". The video stayed up for three days before it was taken down but the video at already been reposted on several other sites. In early November or late October in 2019. Plohie Novosti (Плохие Новости; Script error: The function "langx" does not exist.) reuploaded a 50 second clip from the original live stream. On Twitter, users took innocent screenshots to mask over the video before quickly cutting to the suicide clip. On YouTube, it was reported that the video would appear in a users auto-play, which could startle users. The video received over 150,000 views in just the three days of it being on YouTube, and Twitter users posted frantically about the video, warning each other not to watch it. The video was allegedly named "1444" to avoid YouTube detection bots and remain obscure.
