In Russia, a blogger hung a portrait of Putin in an elevator and filmed the reaction of residents: it was fun

A video appeared on YouTube: people enter an elevator, see a huge portrait of Russian President Vladimir Putin on the wall and comment on it. The video quickly went viral, and on social networks they began to call it “the best sociological survey.” Writes about this with the BBC.

The blogger Bashir Dohov, the author of the video, told how the idea came about and whether the people reacting to the portrait were actors.

The blogger said that the video is not staged and it is easy to verify.

“To be honest, I cannot provide any evidence, but I think that if one of the journalists tries, they will probably be able to find the participants in the video and understand that these are ordinary citizens,” Dokhov said. - For my part, it’s simply surprising to me that people say this, because you can just look at the quality of the series on TV and understand that such scenes, when people talk to each other, the grandmother comes out, the girl comes in, such authentic real dialogues ...

It was supposed to be removed by some best director or play Khabensky. In general, a better line-up would be needed to play such a production, objectively. Plus, a production budget of 20 actors. I have not seen such pranks. "

The blogger also admitted that he shot the video a year ago and hoped to collect additional materials.

“By the way, no one asks, but the video was shot last winter, a year ago,” the blogger said. “I thought that maybe I would prepare some more material so that it would be some kind of project, with more history.” When I realized that I haven’t been doing this for a year, I decided why not share. Because the video is, of course, interesting. And I understood that it would arouse interest.

And the shooting was probably about three hours, maybe. But the elevator still drove a lot, without anyone. ”

Dohov said that many people also did not enter the video and what principle he was guided by when choosing whom to include in the video.

“More didn’t go in than came in. What principle? Now everyone is saying that this was the main sociological survey. I understood that there was a message here, some pathos, but still I made the video so that it would be interesting, so that it would be such entertainment. And so I chose reactions that were funny,” Dokhov shared. - And, in fact, what was removed roughly boils down to two reactions. The first is when people don't seem to notice the portrait [of Putin] at all, like they're so in their own head that they're like, well, Putin. And that’s it, they continue to sit on the phone and move on. And the second reaction is that the person takes the phone, takes a photo and starts writing on social networks or posting it in chats. What did people write on social networks? I don’t know how to find it, but it would be interesting to see it too.”

The blogger also said that there were both positive and negative reactions to the portrait of Putin in the elevator.

“There is a married couple with a child, and I would say that this is a very positive reaction. They say to the child: here, this is our president, Vladimir Vladimirovich. Then an elderly mother and an adult daughter. And they also go and say, rather, that it is a shame that they hung a portrait in such an inappropriate place. But their reaction to Vladimir Vladimirovich is rather positive, I would say so. But there were no reactions where people bowed and sincerely said how glad we are that Putin’s portrait appeared here,” says Dokhov.

Bashar said that the idea of ​​making such a video was spontaneous.

“In fact, it is very difficult to say how some such ideas come, they are quite spontaneous. I had a question for myself, how to make a sociological survey that would eliminate this factor, when people come up to you and say: “Levada Center, Speak!” Naturally, people immediately have a certain block. And I was wondering how to make the reaction sincere,” says the blogger.

“I added the elevator because I wanted to take it to the extreme. Because if it was just in some kind of hall, then people would think: well, yes, well, we live in such a country. And the elevator is just absurd, absurd. Because the portrait is huge, it covers almost the entire elevator, and this has already been brought to some kind of farce,” adds Dokhov.

The blogger admitted that despite the fact that he maintains a blog about relations with women, he is very interested in politics.

“I’ve been interested in this all the time, since school. In fact, then, a year ago, I recorded this video with the idea of ​​continuing it as some kind of project with satire and practical jokes of a socio-political nature. But then, as often happens, I focused on my main occupation, which brings me my main income,” said Dokhov.

After the video appeared, some Facebook users wrote that the author was arrested, but as Dohov himself said, this is an obvious fake, and the negative in his direction was only in the comments on the video.

“I only encountered negativity in the comments. That is, it comes from our Russian citizens, some perceive it as a provocation, as disrespect. And for someone to call me from the Investigative Committee or the prosecutor’s office - nothing,” said Dokhov. — Comments are completely different: that this is simply not quite the right experiment, because it shows that people are angry that they hung a portrait in their porch. They write to me: hang your portrait or the portrait of Navalny, and you will get the same reaction. ”

“Some write: “People, have you forgotten about the 90s, have you become insolent?” There are various kinds of comments, some negative, about 15-20 percent of them. They are a minority, but there are many of them. And I'm not particularly afraid. Not because I’m so fearless, I just don’t really believe that I could have problems,” says Bashir.

The blogger also explained why he posted the video not on his channel or on social networks, but on “Granny's Blog”.

“I have a commercial channel for a specific audience, which corresponds to a specific topic. Naturally, I didn’t want to post it there, because this is my business. I was thinking about a new channel, but I understood that in order to start and get at least a few thousand views, I had to work a little harder, buy advertising or something else. And here I had a channel, which I started more as a producer’s project. And I knew that there were 50 thousand subscribers and the channel would give some kind of start to the video. And, in fact, the first three thousand views were from these subscribers - and this snowball started from there,” says Bashir.

“Now, of course, it’s a little strange to read everywhere on the Internet that this came out on the “Grandma’s Blog” channel. But by the way, I didn’t hide my authorship, I signed it in the description. It’s not that I wanted to hide,” says Dokhov.

Dohov expressed his thoughts on why no one took a portrait of Putin.

“It seems to me that I definitely wouldn’t like it, but I wouldn’t take it off either. I might have called the senior person at the entrance and said: well, guys, what are we doing here, this is already too much. But I wouldn’t immediately take it off and tear it into pieces at that very moment. People probably have a similar psychology; after all, people are not vandals,” says the blogger.

“The portrait disappeared a few hours later, I took it down. But I’m sure that people then called the senior person at the entrance and turned to the concierge. But they didn’t just quickly become involved in amateur activities,” says Dokhov.
