This YouTuber has just been arrested and is facing five years in prison after disturbing a restricted island and violating international law. This is the one off Australia? ...and leave this ancient remote tribe a can of Coke. Ladies and gentlemen, we might have a new contender for the... Leave him to fuck alone. Yeah, leaving the fuck alone. North Sentinel Island? Yeah, exactly. It's India... Okay, it's in that area though, right? ...fame of complete morons.

An American tourist has been arrested for allegedly traveling to a restricted reserve on a remote island, and leaving behind a can of Coke as an offering for the world's most isolated tribe to try. Mikhailo Viktorovic Poliakov was arrested in India's Andaman and Nicobar Island. You know what they should do as a punishment? Send them back. That's what they should do. They should go send his ass back. After he allegedly visited a prohibited tribal reserve on North Sentinel Island without authorization.

So apparently we're doing this for content now. Well, that's a nightmare of an island. I mean, I got to respect the balls, bro. These people like cannibals and shit, right? Like, you're gonna go over there and fuck with them. Like, hey, that's better than going and playing on a PVE server. That's a nightmare of an island that has for some reason attracted the wildest form of unwanted tourism. Now, including Mikhailo Fulikov, a 24-year-old American YouTuber known for thrill-seeking adventure vlogs,

and now for violating international law. He goes by the Neo-Oorientalist on YouTube and has a few thousand subscribers, and is currently making headlines for illegally landing on the North Sentinel Island, home to the famously uncontacted Centalese tribe. You know, the people who've made it extremely clear that they want nothing to do with the outside world. Like arrow to the head, level of clear. Tucked away in the picturesque waters of the Bay of Bengal exists a tiny island that has captured imaginations for centuries.

But its beauty as a tropical paradise is not what has garnered attention. Rather, it is the often violent, uncontacted tribe that calls the island home. For most, this island is a window into the past and an opportunity to understand how ancient people lived. But for some... Another big reason, and this is actually one of the big reasons why you're not supposed to contact them, is because of diseases, because they've been separated from so much of the rest of humanity, that obviously their immune systems and everything haven't evolved in the same way that ours have.

So if he's giving them something, like it's kind of like how what happened to Native Americans, Americans, right? That's another big reason. This island has become their final resting place. Well, what did Polikov actually do? He showed up to Point Blair, the capital of the Ataman of the Nicobar Islands, with the camera, an inflatable boat, and apparently zero regard for history or loss. On March 29, he set off solo on his boat, which, by the way, I guess, is the YouTube version of Hold My Beer. After a nine-hour journey, he reached the northeastern shore of the North-Sensennial Island, ready to go full Columbus. But instead of

smallpox and holy crosses he brought a diet coke and a coconut not even a full meal oh i mean a diet coke what the fuck's wrong with him why the fuck would he do that just a weird snack combo in a whistle yeah oh my odd dude and with this whistle he tried to get the tribe's attention and obviously blowing a whistle at an uncontacted tribe i guess that's how you get a collaboration invite Well, Yaakov spent roughly an hour blowing a whistle from his inflatable boat in hopes of drawing attention to himself, but received no response. Good. He landed on the island for roughly five minutes, during which he collected samples, recorded a video, and left behind a can of soda and a coconut as offerings for the Sentinelese tribe. What the fuck?

I feel like the ingredients of a Diet Coke would probably burn a hole in the tribe's stomach, man. Like, let's just... Yeah, exactly. Let's chill here. Let's not leave that for the sugar. I don't know about that. He didn't make contact. For his own sake, but also he did collect some sand, film on the beach, and then, I guess,

pieced out like it was some regular beach day. Mission that trespass on sacred land is complete. But here's the plot twist. Back on the mainland, some local fishermen saw what he was up to and reported him. Jalikov was arrested on March 31st. Now faces multiple charges, including violation under India's Foreigners Act and tribal protection laws. If convicted, he's looking out up to five years in Indian prison, which is a pretty steep, price for a simple vlog type.

I love to hear that. That is consequences. That's what you fucking get. Why are some influencers committing crimes and countries where you would never, ever want to go to prison? I mean, we just covered fatality. Why would you ever break laws in countries that have prisons that look like this? But also, honestly, the amount of time sounds a little short for what he actually did.

Because let's be real. What he did wasn't brave. This is just incredibly reckless. Indigenous groups, legal experts, and common sense all agree that you don't mess with the central police. Exactly. Not because they're scary, well they are as well, but because we are. We carry diseases that they've never been exposed to.

Contact could wipe them out like it did so many other tribes throughout history. But you know, for the sake of this video, let's put all the dangers to this tribe aside, let's put all the international law to the side. Let's just say, this is an extremely stupid move considering how multiple journalists, missionaries, and many more have died for attempt to. to do this exact thing. So for those who don't know, let me break down what this island is and why this tribe has a history of people needing to stay far away from it. All right, picture this, a beautiful tropical island straight out of a travel brochure, white sand, blue water, lush

jungle, and if you step foot on it, you might get hit with an arrow. Hey, you, you're that IRL streamer, aren't you? I used to do content like you until I took a two half meter long opportunity. This is exactly where all those Skyrim guards were. went. So welcome to North Sentinel Island, where the local vibe is no visitors ever. It's home to the Sentinelese, possibly the last uncontacted tribe on earth. And when I say uncontacted, I mean, they've been ghosting humanity for thousands of years. These people are the real-life version of hardcore Minecraft. They're like that tribal YouTube channel that went like super viral from building crazy stuff with mud, but minus the excavators because, you know, they were also exposed

for that. So while neighboring islands have been colonized, developed, and turned into places where you can probably get Wi-Fi in an overpriced smoothie, North Sentinel Island have stayed essentially stuck in time on purpose. They basically told the rest of the world that they don't want any technology. No thank you. The first time they were caught on camera, you could literally see them try to put arrows through the people filming. At last, the first glimpse of the sentinel leave.

And they're already, bro, they're already going to war. They said, get the fuck out of here. Permanent, no, primitive technology was real. the other copycat channels were fake. The original guy was real, though. This tribe believes in total isolation. It will not tolerate a stranger. As is obvious in the footage,

the tribe had no interest in making friends and rather buried half of the gifts they've been given before shooting arrows toward the film crew. A member of our film unit was wounded by one of the many arrows, each two and a half meters long. God damn. So either, Miguelo saw this, did his research beforehand and said,

screw it, a two and a half meter arrow, that ain't that bad. Or he didn't prepare for this trip at all. But I have a feeling you kind of did because he showed up with a coconut. And we will learn later on that the only contact that humans have had that has been a positive contact of this island has been because they were bribing them with coconuts. But if it was up to me, one simple Google search would, uh, that would make my mind. I would be not, nope, uh-uh, not going anywhere near that. Dup, I wouldn't go. Took me, uh, took me 15 seconds to realize I would, uh, that would be. never want to go to that island. Yeah, exactly. But I've also realized that there's a very big difference in how normal people operate and think compared to the people that I normally

cover here on this channel. There's a very big difference. Live streamers are a different breed of peasanting of this island came in 1771 when a British ship spotted flickers of fire on shore, probably cooking dinner or prepping the arrows, hard to say. But things got real in the 1890s when an escaped prisoner washed up on the island. Search parties went to look for him and they found him full of arrows. Definitely not a warm welcome. That's more like... I feel like that kind of... I mean, like that's kind of like a W, though, right?

I mean, if this guy's a prisoner, he got away and they set him straight. That's pretty good. Get off my lawn, but in a really intense way. Fast forward to the 1960s, Indian anthropologists decided to go play National Geographic and roll up with boats full of gifts, coconuts, metal tools, plastic stuff.

What happened? Basically just this weird early version of an Amazon delivery. First visit, nobody home. The tribe, I guess, just dipped into the jungle, left their huts, fires, and food behind like you weren't invited. But then came this rare moment of success in the 90s, where an anthropologist named Madhumala shadow party hoppy.

For sure. When an anthropologist named this, joined the crew. First woman to try, by the way, and the team floated coconuts towards the beach. And the Sentinleys actually came out to grab them. I mean, one guy even checked out the boat like he was browsing a used car lot. So that was cool because it was calm, peaceful,

no one got stabbed. Great. But the next visit, things escalated. Because since 1996, it's been straight up illegal to go anywhere near this North Sentinel Island. The law says don't go within three nautical miles unless you're trying to get featured in some news headlines saying a tourist impaled by dozens of arrows on this remote island. And that's exactly what happened to some fishermen. Two men aged 48 and 52 were fishing for mudcrabbs near the island. However, the pair got so drunk that while sleeping, the anchor of the boat,

which was a rock tied to a rope, fell apart and drifted the men toward North Sentinel. The following morning, fellow fishermen said they tried to shout at the men and warn them that they were in danger. However, they did not respond. They were probably drunk, and the boat drifted into the shallows where they were attacked and killed. Yeah, that's a rough fishing spot. You go out to fish and get a little drunk, and you end up in the worst possible spot ever. But recently, this also happened to another American tourist in 2018. Entered John Allen Cho, a 26-year-old missionary adventure, and how do I put it, a guy with a terrible plan.

Because I guess he hired a fisherman to smuggle him to the island because he wanted to convert them to some fucking religion. Yep, that's what you get. Divert the Sentinelese to Christianity, which is a very bold move. Honestly, I'm kind of surprised. They needed Jesus. He needed a spear. Well. Jehovah's witness hasn't tried this yet. But I guess that just goes to show you that some front lawns can't even be passed by a Jehovah's Witness. But this guy actually wrote in his diary, my name is John, I love you and Jesus loves you,

and the sentinel knees were like, cool story, here's an arrow. Apparently even his Bible was hit with an arrow. And according to the people from his mission, this wasn't like John just got up and decided to do this on whim. He tried to prepare for this. Although according to the head of the mission he was working for, John was significantly more prepared. All child's decisions, including his studies of sports science and training and working as a wilderness emergency medical technician and classes he took in linguistics and cultural anthropology were in preparation to share Jesus with the North Sentinelese. It was very well prepared for this moment.

So he was his prep for this as a person I guess could be and still it ended very badly. Almost like this shouldn't be attempted no matter what you try to do. The actual breakdown of what happened to John happened over three days. Day one, he paddled over in a kayak carrying fish, gifts and a Bible. When he got near the beach, the sentinelys shot arrows at him, including one from a kid that nailed his waterproof fival. And listen, if a child shoots an arrow through your scripture, I would say that's a sign, right?

Probably your divine sign to turn around. Exactly, yeah, yeah. That, like, okay, maybe they don't want Jesus. Like, maybe Jesus doesn't want to go here. Yeah, exactly. And chow leave? No, of course not. He tried again.

This time he wrote in his journal, God, if you want me to be killed, so be it. Dude, if you believe in God, you can also argue that God gave you a brain to avoid this shit. But on day three, the fishermen watched from the distance as the sentinelies dragged his body across the sand and buried it. John Allen Cho was killed. Wow.

Just like nearly every person before him who tried to enter this island without permission. So, why all the secrecy, why the arrows? Well, again, beyond protecting their culture, there's a very real risk. The sentinelies have zero immunity to common diseases, and even a cold could wipe them out. Yep. So yes, going there,

could literally be fatal to them and to you. I mean, even a diet Coke could kill them, but I don't know. The point is none of us know. A random YouTube. It's like if you're going over there and doing that for content, like you're putting a lot of people in danger. And this is kind of like what a lot of live streamers don't realize is that there are like ripple effects and secondary effects of your behavior that you might not necessarily understand,

but they do happen and they will negatively affect other people. And that's why it's so problematic. Like Mikalo for sure doesn't know. And at the end of day, North Sentinel isn't a lost island. It's not a mystery to solve. It's a community that just wants to be locked alone. And honestly, she's kind of respect that. Now, it's real. If the first five arrows landing right next to you won't, maybe the sixth will. Now, Michaelo is currently detained in India and is due back in court in April 17. But honestly, this was the best case scenario for something as stupid as this because he didn't actually manage to make contact with them. He got arrested instead of dying in some horrific way. And he will likely, get to enjoy the rest of his life without it ending with like 80 million arrows in himself. But guys with live streams and cameras, we got to show. Yeah, he'll just be in an Indian person instead. Whether you're in Japan or Korea, streaming in public in New York City, or just trying to go to an internationally restricted island,

respect the boundaries. The Sentinelese, they don't want followers. They're not interested in your clout. And they definitely don't want your can of Diet Coke. But at least you didn't live stream himself driving into a store to simply see what would happen like this guy did. So you can check out that video. right here and other than that if you're new here feel free to subscribe and I'll see you in the next video please live streaming is going crazy now what is wrong with these people oh my god

yeah I don't even know what to say yeah everybody's lost their fucking mind
