ЗВЕЗДЫ ПОД ГИПНОЗОМ - УБОГАЯ ПОСТАНОВКА "ПЕРВОГО" / РАЗОБЛАЧЕНИЕ - Summary

Summary

The speaker, Nikolai Sobolev, criticizes Russian television programs that feature psychics and hypnotists, arguing that they deceive viewers and exploit their gullibility for financial gain. He points out that these shows have become increasingly bizarre and absurd, with celebrities acting out elaborate fantasies under the guidance of hypnotists. Sobolev refers to a specific show hosted by Maxim Galkin, where celebrities were hypnotized to behave like monkeys, spider-men, and even characters from a foreign project, all for the sake of entertainment.

Sobolev also criticizes Isa Bagirov, a psychic who is featured on these shows, for his multiple identities and the fact that he seems to be able to do anything for money. He accuses Bagirov of being a "stage pet" who can pretend to be a hypnotist, a metalhead, an author, or a psychotherapist, among other things. He also criticizes the way these psychics are advertised and praised on Russian television, arguing that it encourages people to believe in and pay for their services.

In conclusion, Sobolev calls for viewers to be critical of such shows and psychics, arguing that they are not only misleading but also a waste of money. He encourages viewers to question what they see on television and to rely on their own judgment rather than falling for the tricks of charlatans.
