What does “raspakovka” mean in Russian?

Распаковка (raspakovka) is the Russian word for “unboxing,” and it has become one of the most recognizable online-culture words in spoken Russian. Raspakovka started as a literal “unpacking” but turned into a YouTube and Instagram genre across the 2010s, where creators open boxes on camera. The word now applies to a cosmetic order, a Wildberries delivery, or a kid’s birthday present.

This clip is a husband listing the small habits of his Chinese wife. One of them is her constant online ordering: “доставка, доставка, доставка... распаковка” (“delivery, delivery, delivery... unboxing”). The word lands as a one-word punchline because Russian listeners recognize both the genre and the obsession.
