In recent years, the people of Russia have developed a reputation for being a little more hardcore than the rest of the world. So it follows that if Russia ever produced a survival based reality show, it would probably be a little more crazy than Survivor.
Well that hypothetical show is about to become a reality (pardon the pun). Speaking to The Siberian Times, a Russian millionaire explained the premise to an absolutely insane survival reality show that he’s making, with a pitch so lurid and over the top that it would make P.T. Barnum blush.
The show to be broadcast worldwide on the web starting in July will see 30 participants, 15 of them women, ditched on a large island in the Ob River, the seventh longest in the world, chasing a 100 million rouble ($1.7 million) prize on a nine month survival mission in winter temperatures as low as minus 50C.
Called Game2:Winter, the reality TV programme has quietly dropped a shocking rule that stated: ‘Everything is allowed. Fighting, alcohol, murder, rape, smoking, anything.’
When asked if he will intervene if there is ‘physical violence, rape, a murder’, organiser Yevgeny Pyatkovsky, 35, a Novosibirsk millionaire, told The Siberian Times: ‘No we won’t. I am pretty sure there will be fights, and more. We are not scared of negative reaction if that happens either.’
He insisted it would be made clear to the international participants ahead of the show ‘that punishment will follow according to the Russian Criminal Code’. In other words, any action would be for the police or other law enforcement agencies only, not the show’s organisers.
Pyatkovsky revealed that the show would be broadcast 24 hours a day, and that the contestants will have to sign a contract that completely absolves the show if anything bad happens to them, including death.
He also revealed that the area where the show takes place will likely be infested with brown bears, and that the only weapons the contestants are allowed to have are knives. He explained that there will be a helicopter and a “ground team” to deal with emergencies, but emphasized that they may not be able to help anyone in a timely manner if a bear attacks.
Pyatkovsky explained that he got the idea for this utterly insane and exploitative show after watching, of all things, the Lost TV series many years before. So basically he saw a show that featured an island, some stranded people, and a bear, and decided to make it real.
Pyatkovsky said: I’ve been thinking about this show since the time I first saw Lost. I thought that surely there must be a way to do a real survival show, where people face all the real problems of daily life in the Siberian taiga.
‘I envisaged it being organised in Siberia, but I had no idea as to how to transmit it so that the whole world could see it. Now I know, and the time has finally come.
‘Several years ago I realised that I could set up cameras and arrange seamless broadcast, and this is when I started to work on the details of the show.
And if you can believe it, hundreds of people from around the world have applied to be on the show. So if you’ve ever wondered, “Would anyone ever be dumb enough to put their lives into the hands of a mad, eccentric Russian millionaire,” you now have your answer. For over a million dollars and the chance to be world famous; yes, unfortunately they would.

So the Bolsheviks are keeping them entertained there too by keeping their plans for world domination on the big and little screens? What’s this show called? “Naked, but raising minks”.
“He also revealed that the area where the show takes place will likely be infested with brown bears … ”
He failed to mention the TIGERS. Brown bears hibernate. Tigers do not !!! 🙁
Don’t forget how the blurred beavers can strain your eyes.
I worked in a zoo as a kid. We had tigers. Awesome animals. Been eye to eye with them. Fortunately there were steel bars separating US.
And the eye of the tiger ??? Hungry. Always hungry. Beavers, not so much. 🙂
Accurate statement, though the winner will be taxed? forfeit? the winnings for the greater good of the fatherland. Contestants should all be in touch with a favorite embassy for political asylum in case of a win, before setting foot on the ground.
Are you not entertained?
In America, a business is not absolved of responsibility merely because the injured party signed on the dotted line. You have rights under the law that are not so easily done away with. In most cases an attorney can handle it. Businesses draw up insane contracts themselves. The purpose is to trick the person into giving up without a fight.
If you are injured or a family member dies because of gross disregard for your safety, SUE the Bastards.
__
In Most Every Contract, regardless if it is signed or agreed to, also says, if any one section or any parts of the contract is illegal or unlawful the remainder of the contract terms are still enforced and shall apply according to State or Federal Law. So you can put anything you want in a contract and people can agree, but the State can also rule part of it is illegal or can cause bodily harm.
You can write up any contract you want, like money for sex, but it cannot be enforced because it is illegal or unlawful, just like killing. So each participant may be held personally liable if they do something wrong, not necessarily the show. I would have to see the full contract in writing to know exactly that this claim is.
Doesn’t personal responsibility mean anything to you? If I were to be on the show and I was maimed or killed, I would have nobody to blame but myself. And neither I, nor my family would sue, because we are adults and accept the consequences of our decisions. These people are choosing, with there own free will, to participate. The rest of the world is not sue happy like the snowflakes in the US who want to blame everybody but themselves for stupid behavior. Think the McDonald’s coffee incident, literally the most absurdly frivolous law suit ever. Plus, did you ever consider that Russia obviously has different laws than we do? Maybe the concept of contracts actually has meaning over there.
You need to do some research.
Mcds coffee incident is nowhere near what you think.
Agree
Yep, that’s litigation-happy America alright. But folks in Russia ARE hardcore, unlike the giant vaginas here who don’t understand the first thing about personal accountability. By signing on, the contestants acknowledge that they understand the risks involved going in, and if they get their asses injured or killed then that shit is completely ON THEM AND THEM ALONE. There ain’t gonna be any of that suing McDonalds cuz your clumsy ass spilled your piping hot coffee in your lap, no sir. See how that works, professor?
Speaking of survival, looks like the new proposed govt. healthcare is worse than Obamacare.. http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2017/03/09/paul-ryan-replaces-obamacares-insurance-penalties-with-even-larger-penalties/ Go Trump!
Did you ever see the videos of Pussy Riot’s canceled shows. Those Russians sure know how to nip thing in the butt (not bud) with large batons.
You are a typical liberal!
Don’t worry, there is another show in the works that only lawyers can participate in. Its called ‘Nobody Wins’.
Well its a good thing this is taking place in Russia so that US law doesn’t apply. People have a responsibility for their own safety. It is THEIR decision to take part. The claim that signing a contract will ‘trick the person into giving up’ is one of the more ridiculous things I’ve read. Would be participants in this insane Russian broadcast will know the dangers. THEY are the ones disregarding their own safety. Its called being an adrenaline junkie. They have their own goals. In America lawyers have aided the progression of this ‘sue-happy’ mindset to the point of ridiculousness.
Sounds like the Similar USA Reality Show called “Black Friday”, where hoards of violent Liberals all camp out in front of store fronts for days to get that $100 Plasma TV Prize. When the store doors open up, its kicking scratching clawing, biting, knifing, spitting, punching, and running over people to get the Big Deal. Winner takes all. No Wavers signed, just survival of the fittest to win the prize.
Hell just wait until the economy collapses or we get EMPed… then its all real…
Escape from New York will be a documentary…
Escape from New York was a preview.
You’re the DUKE!
King of New York!
You’re A #1 !
Aaaaaaaaah!
Most of these type of programs we see on out TV’s are fakes and that included everything from stupid americans looking for big foot in the woods to making moon-shine.
Many of the science programs do not stand the test of logic or facts to back up the latest theory and history programs only see to cover the holly-hoax when it’s about WWII
Lets hope Russia does not fake it shows like the ones from the USA where you have to be obeast to become an actor
All of these so called survivor series were sired by a 1969 movie entitled The Magic Christian.
The movie whose cast of characters included Ringo Starr , Roman Polanski, and Rachel Welch is a satire on greed and Capitalism.
In other words the batshit crazy things people will do for money.
The theme song from the movie written by Paul McCartney and preformed by Bad Company pretty well sums it up ” If You Want It Here It Is Come And Get It”.
The whole thing culminated with people diving into a vat filled with urine,blood, and animal excrement to retrieve cash that had been thrown into the mix.
Although these new made for tv series are better disguised …. make no mistake about it they are anti capitalist – pro commie works of the same cinematic Devils that infest hollyweird.
Think I’m overreacting ?
Pay close attention as to how the author of this article includes the offensiveness of “Smoking” in with” Rape and Murder”.
As for me … I’m still waiting for generation snowflake to come up with something of their own device and maybe I’ll give it a looksie.
Duplicate Comment? …. Idk

We need to focus on a Russian TV show to know that all the made up rules REALLY don’t apply when your life is on the line?
Really? Talk about disconnected from reality people…
Artificial rules to bind you, and then you wonder why the USA is in the state it is in.. This is why NOTHING is going to change in the USA…terminally disconnected from reality.
NJ, when I’m in a life-or-death situation between me and an evildoer, I’m NOT going to be the one who LOSES because of following some stupid law and letting the other guy win. I will WIN AND COME OUT OF IT ALIVE BECAUSE I’LL DO WHATEVER I CONSIDER NECESSARY TO SURVIVE THE ENCOUNTER. I WON’T BE CONCERNED ABOUT ANY POSSIBLE LEGAL ISSUES. LEGALITY WILL GO STRAIGHT OUT THE WINDOW. I RECOGNIZE SELF-DEFENSE AND FOLLOW THAT REGARDLESS OF WHAT ANYONE’S LAWS SAY. I LIVE BY A SET OF RULES CALLED THE BILL OF RIGHTS AND NOTHING ELSE.
Shoot Shovel and Shut-up- You win every time.
Most of everything we see in front of the lens through the filters of corporate media is either rehearsed, scripted and/or fake.
No doubt people will hang their halo’s in the closet and watch the show for live rape and murder scenes. Kids and all. You can bet this will up the ante’ for the competition.
An electronic version of the Roman games in the Colosseum. A definite sign of societal decay.
“Are you not entertained!”
Though entertaining, I think this is a BS (if am still allowed to share opinions on the web these days without being censored in the land of the free.. I think this may be from one of our good ole boys sent out to cyber-stalk and scare some targeted individuals again, those like myself (they monitor everything I do) that are on “the list” will know what I’m talking about but if you don’t know then you need a reality check, – Did you know the military industrial complex has journalists on their payroll? Most of you know CIA controls media yes? Well they’re infiltrated pretty well everywhere from what I’ve witnessed as a targeted individual over the past few years.. It sure opened my eyes landing on this list, money buys cooperation from just about anybody these days, yes the road to hell is more popular than ever, some people are comfortable terrorizing their fellow citizens as a way to make a buck than doing regular kind of work, with 94 million people unemployed in this country, this easy work but.. very unethical and illegal as far as I’m concerned. Since when is it legal to psychologically and physically torture people? Since when is it acceptable to harass your neighbor as a way to make a living? Most of you really need to know what some these good ole boys are up to these days because your paying their salary with your taxes and Trump just gave them more money (I do think he’s ignorant of what is going in connection with this though, but you can look up “targeted individuals”, “military organized gang stalking” “remote neural monitoring” on youtube and get a pretty good sense that there’s a new Gestapo being organized in this country, a war against all kinds of activists, bloggers, website owners, even some journalists who share opinions that dont support the agenda..) and start being concerned about that because YOU might even be targeted just for leaving a negative comment on shtf plan these days or having a neighbor in the military that wants to experiment on you (DR john Hall wrote a great book about this called “Guinea pigs – technology of control” , look him up on youtube) with their new toys (electromagnetic weapons that give them the ability to see through your wall, send thoughts, sounds voices into your head, read your mind (and in some cases see through your eyes and hear what you’re hearing)> “Are you disgusted yet??” Ex NSA director whistleblower William Binney gave a speech to victims of this at an international conference organized by Peter Mooring and Magnus Olsson of stopeg.com 3 years ago, so this is not science fiction! Bill Clinton apologized to victims in the mid nineties but it has gotten MUCH worse since then… Many many being targeted in USA (Canada too) you can look up : bigbrotherwatchingus.com/the-program.html SHAME, SHAME!!! Big brother monitors this website, but Trump is a good man though just ignorant in regards to all the assaults and suffering going at the moment which mainstream media is not reporting, but God help those participating in this torture when he finds out and the hammer comes crashing down on them! Yes some people will do anything for big bucks which the industrial complex is full of.. They’ve been going around towns for some time now flashing big bucks to people shouting “Who wants to harass and terrorize their neighbor? (people they deem undesirable) We got a big hit list here!! Who’s interested in making big bucks? We want to silence these people! If you want to know more you can read this letter that was sent out to Mr Trump on behalf of many of us :

John Paul:
Some of the things you posted are accurate. I have direct knowledge that indeed there are mean, vengeful, and sadistic, barely sane individuals conducting well coordinated spying and harming people who they deem a hindrance to them or their team.
They do not have the ability to read your mind. This is one of the lies they put out to traumatize you. I know. If you believe that someone can read your mind, you will fall victim. Don’t.
What they do is to collect info and store it then if you step out of line they take all the info and organize it, subject it to computerized evaluations and make predictions about you based on the input. Then they send out people to interact with you and cause you harm psychologically and sometimes physically.
I could write a book on this subject. But for now: That’s all folks.

B from CA, I know you not an expert on on the matter, so please dont come across like you are. If you were, you would know that they can. I am speaking from experience, not from I read about somewhere. I could write a book as well. Look up Alfred Webre (war crime judge, lawyer, author, professor) interview with Magnus Olsson (victim, expert) many interviews on this subject (one that starts with mind stealers), EX CIA Dr Robert Duncan, Dr John Hall, interviews with Dr Rauni Kilde, You can bullshit whoever you like that are ignorant about this, with your info. but you can’t bullshit me.And hell awaits these people.
Interview with Chief medical officer of Finland about this : Where’s the outrage?? : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MDBHj9WqFkE

The next reality based show will be called “How many Patriots can I kill tonight”. Based on the movie the PURGE!
SGT.
There’s something deeply ironic, in Hunger Games and coliseums —
Your people are desperate enough, to submit to rape, murder, and carnivorous animals, yet there is 100 million rubles, of disposable income. In the fictional and Roman examples, there was luxury, but without a social contract, in which you are entitled to exist, unharmed and unmolested.
LET THE GAMES BEGIN …….
So the Police will watch as crimes take place. Oh, you mean like Sweden and Berkley.
This is going to be great.

I’d like to see a reality show that takes place on a snake infested island. And all the contestants are bankers.
