Sasha-Cockroach Won Ig Nobel Prize Again

The organizers of the ceremony reminded that he receives the "prize" for the second time.

The rulers of nine countries, including Russia, USA, Belarus, Brazil, Great Britain, India, Mexico, Turkey and Turkmenistan received the Ig Nobel Prize because of the coronavirus pandemic. The award ceremony was broadcast on the Improbable portal, lenta.ru reports.

The 30th award ceremony for the pandemic was held online in the United States on Thursday, September 17.

Rulers of the countries were awarded the prize in the category "Medical Education" for "teaching the world that politicians during a pandemic can have a greater impact on life and death than scientists and doctors".

The organizers reminded that Lukashenko is receiving the Ig Nobel Prize for the second time. In 2013 he received the award "for banning public applause". The organizers awarded him for the fact that the police "arrested a one-armed man for applauding".

The prize has been awarded in 10 spheres since 1999, some of which coincide with the ones of the Nobel Prize. The laureates receive a fake ten trillion Zimbabwean dollars banknote.
