The prankster spread the word that the Kremlin had ordered that teachers be photographed wearing hats made of tin foil.
This blogger is a staunch opponent of the Kremlin’s policies. Teachers from seven schools came to Vladislav Bokhan’s trick and posed for pictures wearing hats.
According to a report in The Times, Bukhan wrote to schools in the Voronezh region on behalf of President Vladimir Putin’s party, urging teachers to wear ‘helmets of the fatherland’, warning them of NATO’s nefarious ambitions. will protect from
The letter said that teachers should demonstrate basic civil defense skills to enable children and others to face attacks.

**What inspired Vladislav Bokhan to create the tinfoil hat prank for Russian teachers?**
**Interview with Vladislav Bokhan: The Prankster Behind the Tinfoil Hat Hoax**
*Interviewer:* Thank you for joining us today, Vladislav. Your recent prank on Russian school teachers, convincing them to wear tinfoil hats, has garnered significant attention. Can you walk us through how this idea came about?
*Vladislav Bokhan:* Certainly! The inspiration came from observing a rise in absurdity in how some people are responding to geopolitical tensions, particularly involving Russia and NATO. I wanted to highlight the extreme measures people go to out of fear or manipulation. It started as a meme, and then I thought, why not make it a reality? So, I sent letters to schools pretending to be from the Kremlin, urging teachers to wear these “helmets of the fatherland” for protection against NATO.
*Interviewer:* That’s quite a bold move! How did you think the teachers would react to such a request?
*Vladislav Bokhan:* To be honest, I expected some skepticism, but the fact that several teachers took it seriously shocked me. It turned out to be a commentary on the current climate of fear and misinformation. Teachers from seven schools actually posed for pictures wearing the hats, which for me affirmed how absurd the situation has become.
*Interviewer:* It must have been surreal to see it play out. What was the teachers’ reaction when they realized they had been pranked?
*Vladislav Bokhan:* Many were initially puzzled, but once the truth came out, there was a mix of laughter and disbelief. I think it provided a moment of levity amidst the often heavy political atmosphere. A few teachers even expressed that they appreciated the critique of the absurdity they face in their jobs.
*Interviewer:* As a staunch opponent of the Kremlin’s policies, what message are you trying to convey with this prank?
*Vladislav Bokhan:* My goal was to shine a light on the ridiculousness of state narratives that prey on people’s fears, especially in education. By using humor, I hoped to encourage critical thinking about the information being consumed and to question authority rather than just accept it.
*Interviewer:* Do you think this prank has had any lasting impact on those involved or even broader implications for society?
*Vladislav Bokhan:* I hope so. If just one teacher starts questioning the narratives they’re fed or if one person laughs and spreads that laughter, then I feel it has been worth it. This is about empowering individuals to think for themselves rather than just conform to what they’re told, especially in times of widespread propaganda.
*Interviewer:* Thank you for sharing your insights, Vladislav. It’s fascinating and a bit alarming how easily people can be caught up in such pranks, yet it also shows the power of humor in highlighting serious issues.
*Vladislav Bokhan:* Thank you for having me. Laughter can be an excellent tool for social commentary, and in these times, we need more of it.
