Why is the bot not sending a message?

Question

Python

According to my idea, the bot should write the message "Hello, creator!" (when I write "Hello" in the chat)
But for some reason he does not do this, although my id is in the ilya variable

elif event.object.text == "Привет" :
                    ilya = event.object.from_id
                    #print(ilya)
                    if ilya == "270126576":
                        vk.method("messages.send", {"peer_id": event.object.peer_id, "message": 'Привет, создатель!', "random_id": 0})
                    else:
                        vk.method("messages.send", {"peer_id": event.object.peer_id, "message": 'Привет', "random_id": 0})

Answer 1

Not an expert but

1. Change random id
   
2. Most likely you have a number in ilya, and you are comparing with a string. Do ilya = str(event.object.from_id) or ilya == 270126576
