ВАСИЛИЙ ШУРОВ: Личная трагедия, эпидемия «солевых» и правда о рехабах | Свидетели и Гогуа

In the new episode of the socially charged show "Witnesses and Gogua," Ilya Gogua speaks with a man who saves lives when others have given up. Our guest is Vasily Shurov, Russia's most renowned psychiatrist and addiction specialist, a popular blogger, and an expert on federal television channels. Drug addiction in 2026 has changed its face: it's no longer the heroin chic of the '90s, but a terrifying epidemic of "salt" drugs that turns people into zombies in a matter of months. We frankly discuss what's traditionally hushed up. Why doesn't school-based prevention work, but only fuels teenagers' interest? Vasily Shurov shares his personal story: how the death of his first patient and the tragedies of his loved ones led him to this profession. You'll learn the whole truth about rehab: how to distinguish salvation from a blood-fueled business, and why forced treatment doesn't work. Particular attention is paid to new threats: quad bikes, childfree ideology, and the fly agaric craze—are they harmless trends or symptoms of societal breakdown? Ilya Gogua asks uncomfortable questions: are there "war drugs" for fearlessness? How to recognize addiction in a child early on? Why do show business stars so often burn out from drugs? Vasily Shurov gives a tough but honest forecast: what awaits us if we continue to turn a blind eye to the problem. This episode is a survival guide for parents and anyone who wants to maintain sanity in a crazy world. If you're looking for an answer to how to cure an addiction or save a loved one, watch "Witnesses and Gogua" to the end.
