It will stream 24/7 onlineEach contestant gives consent that they could be maimed, even killed,” reads an advert. “2000 cameras, 900 hectares and 30 lives. Everything is allowed. Fighting, alcohol, murder, rape, smoking, anything.”

Contestants will each sign a waiver acknowledging that they might be raped or killed but the rules also state that police are free to arrest anyone who commits a crime on the show. “You must understand that the police will come and take you away,” the rules state. “We are on the territory of Russia, and obey the laws of the Russian Federation.”

Sounds like a Ben Elton novel

Russia have laws

 

[Biscuit]

So as with real life, they could do any number of things, but would face legal punishment if they choose to do so? The waiver presumably just expunges the production company from being sued, it doesn't allow or even encourage illegal activity.

[W.C.]

I haven't checked but I imagine 'Dystopian' is the 2016 word of the year?

 

[W.C.]

I just checked. 'Democracy sausage' is the first result to come up for word of the year.


In Australia.

 

[OzMike]

That's what I thought when I first read it.

 

[Triggaaar]

Smoking!

Rape is allowed, but being Russia, presumably not gay rape. There are limits.

 

[Buzzer]

Russia - where they prosecute gays but crimes against fashion go unpunished. Their hoolies wear Lonsdale. Unforgiveable.

Why go all the way out to Siberia ? Surely this could be filmed most weekends on the streets of Moscow ?
