Russian teachers in Voronezh were tricked by activist Vladislav Bokhan into making and wearing tinfoil hats, believing they would protect them from NATO satellites. Bokhan, a former teacher, staged the prank to show how deeply some Russians follow Kremlin directives without question. The teachers believed they were part of a patriotic event and created “Hero of the Fatherland” hats, reportedly feeling a surge of patriotism while wearing them. Russia’s Education Ministry praised the teachers' creativity but expressed disappointment at their gullibility. Bokhan said the prank highlighted the impact of state propaganda on everyday people.
