**Interview: Vladislav Bokhan, the Prankster Behind the Tinfoil Hat Hoax**
**Interviewer:** Thank you for joining us today, Vladislav. It’s great to have you here. Let’s dive right into your latest prank. You managed to trick teachers in Russia into wearing tinfoil hats, claiming it was a directive from President Putin. What inspired you to carry out this act?
**Vladislav Bokhan:** Thank you for having me. The idea came from my desire to mock the absurdity of the Kremlin’s propaganda and highlight how some people are willing to believe anything that comes from authority. I wanted to use humor to show the ridiculous lengths they go to in promoting fear, particularly regarding NATO. It was about making a statement while also bringing a bit of laughter to a serious situation.
**Interviewer:** You communicated with schools in the Voronezh region, writing on behalf of a political party. How did you manage to convince the teachers to participate in this?
**Vladislav Bokhan:** I crafted an official-sounding message that mimicked the tone of actual communications from the government. I told them that wearing these ’helmets of the fatherland’ would protect them from supposed NATO threats. It seems that some educators were so caught up in the atmosphere of fear and loyalty that they didn’t question the absurdity of it all.
**Interviewer:** It’s fascinating to hear about the response. How many schools participated, and what reactions have you heard from the teachers involved?
**Vladislav Bokhan:** In total, seven schools took part in the prank, and many teachers went along with it enthusiastically, thinking they were fulfilling a patriotic duty. The reactions have been mixed; some laughed it off once they realized they had been pranked, while others were quite embarrassed. However, I believe the overall response has been one of amusement and reflection on the nature of propaganda.
**Interviewer:** Apart from the humor, what message do you hope to convey through your pranks, especially regarding the current political climate in Belarus and Russia?
**Vladislav Bokhan:** My goal is to make people think critically about the information they receive, to question authority, and to recognize the absurdities in the narratives pushed by the Kremlin. Humor can be a powerful tool for resistance and understanding; it’s a way to cope with the pressures of living under oppressive regimes. I want people to laugh, but also to realize that not everything they see or hear is true.
**Interviewer:** Thank you, Vladislav. Your pranks certainly stir conversations and provoke thought. We look forward to seeing what you come up with next!
**Vladislav Bokhan:** Thank you! I’m glad to share my perspective, and I hope to continue providing a voice against the absurdities in our current political landscape.
