Seriously, this is an exaple of what is called "fuflo" ( foof-LO) in Russian lingo: a fake.
This was intended to be a joke and the original creator openly described the process ( probably took him ~ 2 hours total). After that, there is a raucous discussion what kind of booze might produce the most acidic and "aging" urine to make this "fuflo" look properly antique.
All was above board. There was no intent to deceive anybody.
