I was scrolling through my feed today and stumbled upon a portrait of Kashpirovsky. 👴🏻 Man, the memories came flooding back! I remember how this "miracle healer" used to broadcast from every TV screen, and people genuinely believed they’d get cured for free just by watching. 🛋️✨
As an eight-year-old kid, I was practically forced to sit in front of the tube right after the "Vremya" news program. 🕙 Apparently, I was a "difficult" child and needed an urgent dose of healing magic. 🪄 My mother would sit next to me with glazed eyes, rhythmically rotating her head to his instructions... Haha, what a sight! 😂 I wish they’d forced me to watch cartoons like that instead.

And in the mornings, Alan Chumak would appear on "Good Morning." He was a quieter character: whispering something, waving his hands, and "charging" jars of water right through the screen. 🧊💦 We actually placed jars in front of the TV so the water would soak up the power of "extra-sex" (as I called it back then). We were supposed to drink this "holy" liquid to cure everything under the sun. By the way, people didn’t just charge water—they’d put creams and any other liquids in front of the TV too. 🧴🔮
There were also Juna and Yuri Longo, but I only remember them vaguely since they weren't on TV as often. 🃏

It’s crazy to think about: the Soviet Union, a country of highly educated people, and everyone believed in this nonsense! ✨ Once the floodgates opened, these "psychics" of varying degrees of craziness started appearing on TV one after another. 🤡
For the record, Kashpirovsky didn't help me at all. I stayed just as "non-standard" as I was. 👋 I heard a rumor that Chumak is still around (though he might have run out of mana by now). Just some Monday flashbacks for you. 🧠
Wishing you all clear thinking and great health—no recharging required! 💪🔥
