Moscow's main digger Vadim Mikhailov always appears among the people in a helmet with the inscription "Digger" on it. Rumor has it that he eats and sleeps in it.
In the past, Vadim ran for the State Duma, and many argued whether he would come to the meeting in his favorite helmet or not. To everyone's surprise, Mikhailov came to the press conference in a formal suit. It is likely that Vadim's mother forced him to wear it.
Recently, digger Vadim Mikhailov was seen on the street in a helmet and suit of American SWAT units.
Besides the helmet, he always has a walkie-talkie with him, and not working. But he needs it not for work, but for appearance. When he runs into another fire in his suit, helmet, it undoubtedly attracts the attention of others.
Seeing an increased interest in his own person, he grabs the earpiece located in his ear and starts talking into the radio that he is running to save someone and rushes headlong towards the burning building. Observers remainstand shocked.
But then it turns out that there is no need to save anyone, and the fire has already been extinguished, but Vadim has never been embarrassed. He loves attention to his person.
What does a digger drive?
After Vadim was accepted into the ranks of the Ministry of Emergencies, Shoigu gave him a Land Rover painted in the colors of the Ministry of Emergencies. Also on it was the inscription "Diggerspas" and "Save on the ground and under the ground." But a few days later the car broke down and stopped at Vadim's house on Leningradsky Prospekt.
Detractors began to constantly stick the letter "P" in the word "save" on the car. Mom, along with her son, constantly cleaned it of various inscriptions and snow, but the car never started. In 2009, the car was evacuated as ownerless.
After that, digger Vadim Mikhailov comes to all calls and emergencies on foot or by metro.
Digger's communication with journalists
Journalists like to communicate with Vadim Mikhailov. He loves them too. Media representatives think that digger Vadim Mikhailov is telling exactly the truth that the authorities are hiding from the people. In fact, Vadim lies a lot to satisfy the interest of the viewer.
For example, after the fire in the Manege, he claimed to have seen dozens of hidden corpses, which were ordered not to be reported in the media, and after the explosion in the metro there were more than a hundred.
How Mikhailov loves PR
As soon as Moscow's digger Vadim Mikhailov arrives at the scene, he begins to give interviews. Wrinkles his forehead and claims that he is in an accident againthe criminal negligence of officials and corruption are to blame. For greater persuasiveness, he sprinkles terms, as a result of which the listener has thoughts that this is true.
In fact, he does not help the victims in any way, does not participate in the aftermath, but only gives interviews to promote himself.
Of course, officials are tired of such an attitude to everything that happens, therefore, when they see Vadim Mikhailov, whose reviews are mostly negative, they immediately try to send him out.
For example, recently the head of the Moscow fire department said that if a digger appears again at any scene and starts talking nonsense to journalists, he will use service weapons on him. Vadim himself talks about this with great disappointment.
Also, digger Vadim Mikhailov is a fan of participating in various talk shows and TV shows, again just for PR.
Why is he doing this? Trite wants to become famous. At the end of each interview, he always says that in order to avoid such disasters, it is necessary to consult with independent experts during the construction of buildings, that is, with Mikhailov himself.
He is also trying to get budget money to organize legal digging clubs in which he will teach young people. But so far, these speeches have not led to anything good.
Dream about
Digger Vadim Mikhailov, whose photo you can see in the article, said many times that he wants to streamline the activities of single diggers and their unorganized groups,and to create a severe disaster center. To which only instances he did not apply: to the Ministry of Emergency Situations, and to other opposition organizations. He just needs the support of the public.
He literally sees himself as the head of a certain licensing authority that will issue licenses for digging. Of course, he does not receive support from the state. Only deputies from the Yabloko party support him.
Over many years of experience, various authorities were interested in their movement, they started cases, but Vadim and the team are not afraid of this. Their mission is to save the people through the most terrible dungeons of Moscow.
