Windy31 (real name Andrey Andreevich Koval) is a famous Russian letsplayer. After finishing 11th grade, he went to university to study as a programmer.

It is worth noting that as a teenager, Andrey did not succumb to the bad influence of his peers, did not drink alcohol with them and did not smoke cigarettes (Andrey still adheres to these principles). Andrey is also a big fan of tasty and unhealthy food, but recently he has been trying to limit his diet. Also, Andrey used to lisp and did not pronounce the letter "l", which he himself admitted, but then he signed up for a speech therapist and corrected his speech defects. Windy tries to diversify his content not so much so as not to bore his subscribers, but because he himself is bored with it.

He will be 30 years old in 2025.

His height is about 183 cm. One of his favorite games is "Five Nights at Freddy's."

He runs 4 channels: "Windy31" (Gaming), "Windyai" (videos with reactions and challenges), "Chaosit" (experimental channel[3]), "Comrade Kuyash" (channel with animations). There are also 3 inactive channels: "OHBOY! That's awesome!" (English channel), "Mine and Windyairus" (channel with let's plays about games, mainly about Minecraft). He also owns the channel "Teoretik" (channel with theories about games), but he runs it with another person, presumably Vadim Kraim.

On the Internet, Andrey is better known under the pseudonym Windy31 - this is the name of his popular YouTube channel, where he posts videos about games, reactions, funny cuts and other videos. With his communication style and approach to content, Andrey has created the image of an "older brother" among his subscribers, establishing a close connection with the audience. Many compare the young video blogger to Dmitry Kuplinov, the most famous Let's Player in the RuNet, which emphasizes the importance of Windy's contribution to the culture of video blogging.

On August 30, 2012, Andrey created his main channel Windy31. On the same day, he uploaded his first video, titled "LetsPlay#0 Shaco Jungle [Pilot Episode]". The video did not bring him wide fame, but laid the foundation for his future success.
From there, he began creating content related to popular games of the time, including STALKER, Dark Souls, League of Legends, and Terraria. Although his videos were released every 2-3 days at first, they attracted only a small audience, with views ranging from 50 to 200 per month.
Now Windy says that he is ashamed of his first videos, but does not delete them. Thanks to this, viewers can see the process of becoming a Let's Player from scratch.

Andrey gained popularity in 2013, when he focused on the game "Minecraft". He not only played it, but also did the voice acting and translation of the foreign Minecraft series "Survival Lessons", the voice acting of which has collected a million views to date.

On August 8, 2013, he launched a new section, "Superhero Battles," the first episode of which garnered over two million views. His subsequent videos on Minecraft and other games consistently garnered between 10,000 and 60,000 views.
Another important moment in his career was the creation of the first "theory" for the game Five Nights at Freddy's on January 26, 2015. This series of theory videos attracted a significant portion of his modern audience to his channel.

Even though Windy makes videos about games, the content in the videos is not for children - he often plays horror games. The recommended age is 18 years and up.

Andrey was born in Russia, in the city of Belgorod. He studied well at school and graduated without any Cs. After the eleventh grade, he went to study to become a programmer because he wanted to create games.

There are many rumors, disputes and theories surrounding Andrey's name and surname. The only thing you can be completely sure of is that his name is really Andrey.

It is believed that his real data is Andrey Koval. But given the variety of sources and the lack of clear confirmed information, it is difficult to confirm his real surname.

In 2023, Andrey Vindi lives in Armenia, in the city of Yerevan. He often records short videos for subscribers when he walks around the city. How long he plans to stay in the city is unknown.

Andrey Windy had previously posted “podcasts” or “video messages” on his main channel, but launching a new channel focused on experimental content was the first step in his career as a YouTube video blogger.
On October 13, 2016, Andrey created the channel "Vindyay", where the first video appeared the next day, which was a challenge "Psyche Test". From the role of a letsplayer, he moved to the activity of a video blogger, which significantly influenced his popularity.

Since then, the channel has been growing well, offering its audience a variety of challenges, reactions to events, and blogs. At the moment, the Vindyai channel has an impressive audience, numbering more than 5 million subscribers and almost 2 billion views.

Andrey decided not to limit himself to just one YouTube channel, so he has four of them:
"Windy31" is the main channel about games, which already has more than 10 million subscribers;
"Vindyai" - on this channel, Vindy posts videos with reactions, challenges and funny cuts, and more than 5 million subscribers watch this;
"Chaosit" is a channel with experimental videos, where Windy tries out new formats (1 million subscribers);
"Comrade Kuyash" - the channel produces funny animated videos about games (600 thousand subscribers);
"Teoretic" is a channel with an analysis of popular game theories, created jointly with Vadim Kraim (930 thousand subscribers).
Andrey also has inactive channels that he tried to develop, but abandoned due to lack of activity: "Main and Windyrus" with Minecraft let's plays and "OHBOY! That's awesome!" with funny videos in English.

Like many other gaming video bloggers, Andrey Vindi does not advertise his personal life and tries not to tell too much about himself. On social networks, he posts photos where he is alone or with friends.

At the moment, the blogger is single and has no children. He himself says that he is too young to start a serious relationship or build a family. Among Windy31's subscribers, there are many young girls who really like the guy and, judging by numerous messages, they would like to meet him. Given Andrey's popularity, he will quickly arrange his personal life if such a need arises, and at the moment he is simply enjoying freedom and living for himself.

In 2023, Andrey Windy continues to post videos on his YouTube channel Windy31. They are released irregularly, but on average, about 4 new videos of 10-20 minutes each appear per month.

1. In his first videos, Andrey was embarrassed to show his face because of his complexes, but later he overcame his fears and began filming with a camera.
2. Previously, Andrey Windy had problems pronouncing the letter "l" and he lisped, but with the help of a speech therapist he was able to get rid of his speech defects.
3. In one of his videos, he mentioned that he has deuteranopia, the most common type of color blindness, which makes it difficult to distinguish between green and yellow colors.
4. Andrey is also known for his love of changes in appearance, especially experiments with hair color. In his first videos, he filmed clips with his natural hair color, then he dyed his hair red. A little later, he became a blonde, but eventually returned to his natural dark hair color.
5. Outside of his blogging activities, Andrey actively maintains a healthy lifestyle, avoiding smoking and alcohol. His interests also extend to the world of programming.
6. Andrey studied programming for a long time, and later realized his dream - he created two games: "FlatFall" and "Mama". The latter was created in five months and released on February 25, 2019.
