Morgenstern encouraged his many followers to subscribe to these accounts in order to participate in the draw of a car.

The conditions for participation are a reels repost and subscription to the accounts of ‘four of my friends’," he said in a video posted on the Instagram*. One should subscribe to the accounts ya_pomoshnik_kra_95, dustum bugor_jr, and bk.

The pages bugor_jr and bk belong to the nephew of the head of Chechnya and, until recently, the Minister of Sports of the Republic, Khamzat Kadyrov, dustum is the account of the 15-year-old son of the politician Adam Kadyrov, the “Kavkaz.Realii”** project has reported.
