**Interview with Vladislav Bokhan: The Prankster Behind the Tinfoil Hat Hoax**
*Interviewer:* Welcome, Vladislav! Thank you for joining us. You’ve recently made headlines for your creative prank involving tinfoil hats and Russian school teachers. Can you tell us how this idea came about?
*Vladislav Bokhan:* Thank you for having me! The idea was sparked by how absurd the narrative around NATO and foreign threats has become in Russia. I wanted to highlight the ridiculousness of this fear-mongering by turning it into a prank. By pretending to be from the Kremlin, I aimed to humorously expose the paranoia while making people laugh at the expense of unjustified fears.
*Interviewer:* You successfully duped teachers from seven schools in the Voronezh region, even getting them to pose with tinfoil hats. What reactions did you receive from them?
*Vladislav Bokhan:* The reactions were quite varied! Some teachers seemed to take it seriously at first, following through with the request to don these ‘helmets of the fatherland.’ However, many eventually realized it was a prank, and some even found it amusing, acknowledging the absurdity of the situation. I think it was a moment for them to step back and reflect on the messages being pushed onto them.
*Interviewer:* It’s fascinating how you’ve turned their actions into a humorous commentary on political narratives. Did you anticipate that this would attract such widespread attention?
*Vladislav Bokhan:* Not to the extent that it did! I knew it would generate some buzz, but when major outlets like *The Times* picked it up, I was surprised. It seems there’s a growing audience that resonates with satire aimed at political absurdities, especially given the current climate in Russia.
*Interviewer:* You’re a staunch opponent of Kremlin policies. What do you hope this prank achieves in a broader context?
*Vladislav Bokhan:* My hope is to provoke thought and open conversations about the narratives that are being fed to the people, particularly in authoritarian regimes. I want to encourage critical thinking and a bit of laughter in a time that feels quite serious and oppressive. Humor can be a powerful tool for resistance.
*Interviewer:* Lastly, what’s next for you? Any upcoming projects or pranks in the works?
*Vladislav Bokhan:* (laughs) I always have ideas brewing! While I can’t reveal too much, I plan to continue using humor to critique and expose absurdities in political narratives. Stay tuned, as I believe satire will remain an important form of expression.
*Interviewer:* Thank you, Vladislav, for sharing your insights with us today. Your work is certainly bringing some much-needed laughter and reflection in these tense times.
*Vladislav Bokhan:* Thank you! It was great to talk with you.
