Businessman Denis Paniv gave famous Russian blogger Ilya Varlamov* (listed by the Ministry of Justice of the Russian Federation as a foreign agent; on Rosfinmonitoring's list of terrorists and extremists) a special pair of underwear with pockets. A podcast recording in which the blogger receives an unusual gift, is available on YouTube.
During filming, Paniv decided to give his guests a souvenir – a “smart” bracelet from Whoop with built-in sensors to analyze human health indicators, especially pulse, blood pressure, stress level, and also count the number of steps. Varlamov said that the podcast host received the right gift because he himself was thinking of buying such a device.
Varlamov compared what is happening in a major American city to the military mobilization in Ukraine
However, Paniv added that he had prepared another gift for Varlamov.
“I think, you never know, you don't like carrying anything in your hands. (…) Whoop has special underwear with pockets for this sensor,” the businessman said. He joked that he has the same underwear.
Before that, Varlamov touched the giant pigeon statue in America and praised it. He called the sculpture in New York's High Line Park a great work.
