Some bloggers not discovered but, according to the Guardian, that the TV-report is the critically acclaimed robot something is wrong. So questions such as “Where the Sensors actually are?” or “Why the robot has made so many unnecessary movements while Dancing fast?” according to. Shortly thereafter, photos were shared on Twitter, the show, like a man in the robot slips suit. Boris is not a real one. Or should we say better – than the Russian state TV thought? The costume of the company “Show of Robots” the cost, according to the “Guardian” about 3340 euros and is equipped with a microphone and a display.

The report on Boris had disappeared on the Wednesday, first from the Youtube channel of the transmitter. A few hours later, he was then called up again. In the social networks, the report wildfire spread. Many Users shared the Clip and the photo of the man who rises in the robot suit, for example, on Twitter.
