What started as a bizarre joke turned into a real-life deal sealed in blood.
What started as a bizarre joke on Telegram turned into a real-life deal sealed in blood.
The Russian Orthodox Church is calling it a pact with evil.
A Joke Offer Turns Real
A 26-year-old woman from Russia agreed to sell her soul for 100,000 rubles (about $1,180) and sealed the deal with her own blood.
The strange transaction began as a joke posted by a Telegram user named Dmitri, a self-proclaimed marketing expert.
He offered cash to anyone willing to sign over their soul in a blood-signed contract. He didn’t expect a serious response.
The Soul Is Signed and Sold
To his surprise, a young woman named Karina took the offer seriously.
According to news outlets, she signed the contract and sealed it with blood.
“I Just Bought My First Soul”
Dmitri later posted a photo showing Karina holding the official document, with personal information hidden.
The photo is now redacted.
“I just bought my first soul. I definitely feel like Davy Jones right now!” Dmitri wrote.
Where the Money Went
Karina told the Telegram channel Mash that she had no emotional attachment to her soul.
She used the 100,000 rubles to buy a Labubu doll collection, and concert ticket to see Russian folk singer Nadezhda Kadisheva
She expressed no regret, saying she was happy with her purchase and indifferent to the symbolic meaning of the deal.
The Church Responds: “She Chose Evil”
The Russian Orthodox Church condemned the act.
“The young woman truly sold her soul and therefore chose evil,” an official statement read.
The church predicted “moral and personal decline, illness, suffering, and even death” for Karina, calling the act a serious spiritual mistake.
A Social Experiment, Not a Ritual
Dmitri admitted the entire thing was intended as a social experiment. He wanted to test how far someone would go for money.
While the deal stirred controversy, he said he had no idea what to actually do with the “purchased” soul.
Social Media Divided
Reactions online have been mixed.
Some users called it a “stupid stunt” or a “cry for attention”, while others found it darkly humorous.
A few even questioned if Karina should have asked for more money, given the price of the items she bought.
Others defended her right to treat the situation however she wanted.
