Russian teachers wear tinfoil hats in prank highlighting Kremlin propaganda influence

Russian teachers in Voronezh were tricked into making and wearing tinfoil hats, believing they would protect against radiation from NATO satellites. This prank was orchestrated by activist Vladislav Bokhan to highlight the influence of Kremlin propaganda. The teachers participated enthusiastically, viewing the task as a patriotic act. They expressed feelings of purification and patriotism after wearing the hats, which are often associated with conspiracy theories. An education ministry official acknowledged the teachers' creativity but noted their inability to recognize the prank.
