Russian educators were deceived into wearing foil hats to shield themselves from supposed NATO satellites.

In a recent event, a group of Russian teachers were pranked by a political activist, Vladislav Bokhan, who wanted to prove just how deeply the Kremlin's propaganda has been ingrained in their minds. Bokhan, who is known for his humorous and provocative stunts, convinced the teachers to wear tinfoil hats as a means to protect themselves and their students from NATO's supposed radiation.

The images from the prank show teachers from various schools in Voronezh crafting and proudly wearing their self-made tinfoil hats. Bokhan, who orchestrated the entire prank, explained that he wanted to demonstrate how Russians are conditioned to follow any official instruction, no matter how absurd it may seem. He also pointed out the irony of the situation where the teachers, who are supposed to educate and encourage critical thinking, fell for such a ridiculous idea.

The teachers were told that they were taking part in a "large-scale patriotic event" and were asked to create tinfoil hats, which are often associated with paranoid delusions and conspiracy theories. To Bokhan's surprise, the teachers eagerly accepted the task with enthusiasm and even boasted about the benefits of wearing the hats, such as feeling purified, patriotic, and ready to defend their country from Western influences.

One teacher even stated, "Making tinfoil hats is not only an interesting and creative activity, but also an important patriotic act, symbolizing our readiness to protect our homeland from external threats." Another teacher added, "Let the helmet, which you will make with your own hands, become a means of defense against the enemies of our beautiful country."

Explaining the prank, Bokhan, a former history teacher now living in exile, said, "During my career, I have organized various powerful actions in Russian schools, but I never thought I would reach the peak of absurdity until the day I turned a meme about tinfoil hats into reality." He further stated that he warned the teachers about NATO's plans to harm the Russian people and urged them to resist using primitive protective measures, like a foil hat.

Bokhan was shocked and delighted at the same time by the teachers' gullibility. He stated, "I still can't believe it happened. I am both delighted and shocked. The schools, which should be institutions of education, have turned into centers of brainwashing and suppression, and I managed to make the system work against itself." He also criticized the Russian government for portraying itself as a "denazifying country" while suppressing neighboring nations and denying their right to self-determination.

A representative from the education ministry praised the teachers for their "patriotic spirit" and "creative approach" but also expressed disappointment that they couldn't differentiate between a genuine political initiative and an inappropriate joke. The incident served as a reminder for the teachers to be vigilant and cautious, especially when it comes to the internet, where hoaxes and misinformation are prevalent.
