Shocked

Battle royal Russia Smile

"A new Russian reality show where crimes are “allowed” will begin next year.

Game2: Winter will strand 30 contestants in the -40F (-40C) Siberian wilderness for nine months with the surviving winner receiving a $1.6m prize. It will stream 24/7 online."

"Everything is allowed. Fighting, alcohol, murder, rape, smoking, anything.”

"Everything is allowed" means production won't stop them; the authorities will.

Quote:
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.”


So they will be punished for their crimes (or not, because hey it's Russia), just like if they had committed them outside the show, no difference.

No idea how the laws are in russia but can the team really stand and watch if someone is being raped or murdered, without facing charges?

Anyways, it sounds like they're just using this in a way to promote the show, it has no real meaning.. which in itself is quite disgusting and low imo.

There won't be a crew there so production cannot be accused "you could stop person x killing person y, but chose to sit by and watch".

As you say it's meaningless.

yeah i guess it would be a bit hard to have a crew 24/7. it wouldnt be a brilliant choice to rape or even murder someone to try to win since you wouldn't be able to continue in the show. So yeah, really ridiculous to use it to promote the show, i mean it could happen, but someone could be killed playing Jeopardy or whatever too Very Happy

sounds like the kinda show that will ultimately be more boring than its premise.

i wonder how a winner will be determined though. doesnt seem to be anything more than 'were going to dump you in the cold for half a year... then.. someone wins i guess'

Unfortunately the English article is utter bullshit. There's no murder or rape in the official rules which also state that:

"For violation of the legislation of the Russian Federation a participant leaves the project without the right to a prize, and is passed to the police."

Also it's nowhere in the news in Russia and the website is pathetic so probably some fake shit or just testing people's interest and reaction.
