      Nah, this whole thing was a joke from start to beginning. Some kind of a statement on the journalism and TV contents of the period iirc.

        it prepared the people entering capitalism to not trust everything on the news. which i guess most had already incorporated into the cognitive dissonance of living through those last days of the soviet union. overall a great move of defiance, of which i wish we could see more in capitalism these days…
