Psychologist tells of entrepreneur's binge with pony in St. Petersburg

On the humorous show «Stories,» a medical psychologist who introduced himself as Vasily shared an unusual case. He began with the statement: «This is a clinical case about how a patient lived for a week in a hotel with a stolen pony and a cross-eyed courtesan.»
The narrator explained: «I am a medical psychologist, I treat mentally ill criminals.» According to him, the patient was an entrepreneur from Volgograd who came to St. Petersburg for a conference. The man was diagnosed with bipolar affective disorder, and in a state of mania, he decided to have a week-long binge.
Vasily described the events in detail: «In one of the nightclubs, he meets an escort with a squint. She introduced herself to him as Tatyana, but according to the criminal case materials, she turned out to be Natalya.» The businessman paid for her services a week in advance and rented an entire floor in a hotel for them to live together.
During one of their walks, the companion allegedly said: «Oh, I wish I had such a pony.» The entrepreneur immediately acquired the animal, making a deal with the owner, although the pony was not originally for sale. The animal settled in the hotel with the couple.
The binge was interrupted after a call from his wife, who said: «Darling, come on home.» Trying to return to Volgograd, the man faced the problem of transporting the pony. He called a «Gazelle» van, but when the driver refused to take the animal such a distance, the entrepreneur stole the vehicle. Near Pskov, he was detained under the «Intercept» plan and sent for compulsory treatment.
Vasily noted that «The pony had a tag on its collar, so it was returned to its owner.» He concluded: «She remained both with money and with the pony.»
It is worth noting that the show «Stories» is based on comedians« improvisation, and the authenticity of the stories from viewers is not verified.
