A Peek at Andrei Grigoriev-Apollonov's Bizarre Gift: A Mask with His Own Likeness
A brunette from "Ivanushek" captured a distressing footage in Sochi, disguising herself as the brunette from "Ivanushek" instead.
In a playful move, the lead singer of the globally recognized group "Ivanushki International", Andrei Grigoriev-Apollonov, shared a video on his social media platform showcasing a peculiar gift - a mask with his face printed on it. Unfortunately, the craftsmanship of the mask left much to be desired, giving his followers quite an eerie sight.
These full-head masks featuring the likenesses of popular celebrities, politicians, and artists are selling like hotcakes on both domestic and international marketplaces. They can drastically change an individual's appearance, sparking speculation that they might even bypass facial recognition systems such as Face ID and security cameras.
Grigoriev-Apollonov posted the video on his Telegram channel "kruzhochek", where he can be seen crooning the opening line of the hit "Topolinoye Puho" by "Ivanushki International". After a hearty laugh, he removes the unsettling gift from the fan.
Recently returned from a tour that coincided with Orthodox Easter, Grigoriev-Apollonov shared that he missed celebrating the holiday with his family. However, upon returning home, he was greeted with a delightful assortment of Easter treats, including traditional Easter bread and dyed eggs. The ever-cheerful artist expressed his delight in the Bright Week, during which people continue to exchange greetings.
In related news, footage of Grigoriev-Apollonov demonstrating impressive agility circulated on social media. He posted a video showcasing his leg warm-up routine before a rehearsal for a federal TV channel. "My muscles aren't what they used to be. I've lost some flexibility. But anyway, watch the show and see if I have or not," he said humorously.

These full-head masks, while potentially effective at fooling simple security systems, are unlikely to bypass more advanced facial recognition systems like Face ID or sophisticated security cameras. The reason for this lies in the technology employed by these systems. Face ID, for instance, uses complex techniques such as a 3D map of the face, created by an infrared camera, and a pattern of over 30,000 dots projected onto the face. Advanced systems also employ deep learning algorithms that can detect anomalies in facial features and expressions, making it challenging for printed masks to go unnoticed[3][4]. Furthermore, many facial recognition systems have anti-spoofing capabilities designed to detect fake or masked faces, which can accurately detect anomalies that printed masks can't replicate[3].
Andrei Grigoriev-Apollonov, known for his cheerful demeanor and entertaining performances, shared a concerning gift on his social media platform - a mask with his face printed on it, which left his followers with a less-than-pleasant experience due to its poor craftsmanship. Despite their potential for bypassing facial recognition systems like Face ID and security cameras, these full-head masks featuring celebrities' likenesses are becoming popular on various marketplaces. However, as recently revealed, advanced facial recognition systems employ complex techniques and deep learning algorithms that make it difficult for printed masks to evade detection, ensuring security and preventing spoofing.
