Today I learned about one of the most popular television shows in Russia in the 90s, which imagined car theft and escape from the police.
In the program, the participants received a key to the vehicle and had to flee the police for 35 minutes. If they succeeded, they won a car. But if they were caught, they were beaten up by the police.
The purpose of the program was to deter young people from stealing vehicles, and at its peak there were about 60 million viewers.
Unfortunately, the plan was canceled after it was discovered that the plan actually caused an increase in car theft. Apparently, the viewers were inspired by the original ways in which the contestants managed to evade the police.
