Russian Teachers Pranked Into Wearing Tinfoil Hats At Schools
"Helmets of the Fatherland," indeed. As the author of the prank noted later, "According to our legend, evil NATO troops are going to irradiate the Russian people. Our teachers must learn to resist this impact with simple means of protection, such as a tinfoil hat."

In the Voronezh region, teachers from seven schools, following a false order, organized the "Helmet of the Fatherland" campaign, during which they made and put on tinfoil hats - for "protection from the effects of NATO satellites." The author of the prank was Belarusian prankster Vladislav Bokhan, who sent out "orders" on behalf of "United Russia."
Bokhan explained the gist of his joke on his YouTube show: "According to our legend, evil NATO troops are going to irradiate the Russian people. Our teachers must learn to resist this impact with simple means of protection, such as a tinfoil hat."
