Is it true that in Gostol Ukrainians shot a staged video about the "atrocities of the Russian troops"?

In mid -August, 2022, a video was dispersed on the network about how in Ukraine they allegedly shot the production of the "atrocities of the Russian troops in relation to the civilian population." Vladimir Solovyov also told about this. We checked the reliability of such statements.

The video of interest to us lasts only 15 seconds. At the beginning of the record, you can hear how a man behind the scenes in Russian pronounces the command “Start!”, After which a group of people in everyday clothes begins to run and scream. At the end of the video, the “Stop!” Team sounds. There are also people with professional filming equipment. All this happens against the backdrop of burning and conquered cars, as well as a destroyed five -story building. In addition, in the lower part of the video there is a imposed inscription in Ukrainian: “What time, such a movie and shoot! GOSTOL, 2022, endless February. "

On the basis of the cadres given, some Internet users concluded: this is evidence that Ukraine will stage the war crimes of the Russian army against civilian. For example, on August 12, TV presenter Vladimir Solovyov reputed The post with this video and the next signature: “In GOST, the“ directors ”of the Kyiv regime shoot a staged video about supposedly the atrocities of the Russian troops in relation to the civilian population.” And TV presenter Sergei Karnaukhov shared the post of his colleague and Added: “Important shots for the future tribunal. The problem of these shootings is that for the extras they shoot peaceful and are taken to the "film site". For credibility, our military execute the cameras. This is all the reality of modern Ukraine. ”

Commented The video is also in the official Twitter account of the Russian Embassy in the UK: “So Kiev propaganda supported by Western media is created. Just watch this video. #Stopnaziukraine ("Stop the Nazi Ukraine." - Approx. Ed.). " Similar post was (already deleted) and on Twitter of the Embassy of the Russian Federation in Spain: “If the atrocities of the Russian military do not exist, then they must be invented. Supply personnel with civilians, escaping from the Russian "aggression" in GOSTOL. Such posts dispersed through various Telegram channels (here, here And here), public in VKontakte (here, here And here) and personal pages on Facebook (here, here, here And here).

The video was really shot in GOSTOL - the urban -type village in the Buchansky district of the Kyiv region - what can be understood by the building with a huge hole in the background. For example, a photo of this five -story building indicating GOSTEL is available in the agency photo base The Associated Press (AP) and on the Twitter account of the photographer European Pressphoto Agency Roman Pilipius, and this house was also shown in the report of the GOSTELA TV channel "1 + 1".

It is also important to note that an inscription @yarikfors, which did not cover up, is an inscription on the viral video - this is the signature of the author of the video from Tiktok. Original record Layd There, on August 8, at the time of writing this text, it has 1.2 million views and more than 2500 comments. According to Account In Tiktok, the author’s name is Yaroslav Zarudny. We managed to find several pages of this person in various social networks and on sites (somewhere his surname is indicated as Forsik-Zarudny, which corresponds to the nickname in Tiktok). From the descriptions it follows that it is related to film production: for example, the Zarudny questionnaire is placed on the resource for finding work proposals for actors, models and singers Acmodasi, on his page in "VKontakte»Many posts about castings and filming of various projects, and in its Facebook It is indicated that Yaroslav works in the ARTFORMS Production television.

In addition, on August 9, before the viral distribution of his video, in the comments under his video in Tiktok, Yaroslav wrote that this is a filming of the reconstruction of events in Buch, Irpen and Gostol for a documentary with art elements.

AP agency Contacted With the force-brudge, and he said that the video was shot on the set of the Ukrainian film “The Field of Heroes” (“Field of Heroes” / Region of Heroes). It is reported that the foresik works as an assistant in casting for this picture. “I posted a video for my audience. I did not think that it would gain a million views and the speculation on such a topic would begin, ”said the author of the video and Shared A photograph in which he lies on a stretcher and all covered with fake blood. The picture is posted on August 10 in the official Instagram account Films of IDEAFILMS, belonging to the producer and actor Alex Komarovsky. There are other photos in the post, one of which captures the five -story building and burned cars mentioned above. The signature indicates: “Large -scale filming of the Region of Heroes Cinema Institutions in tragic locations”, as well as producers, director and operator of the tape and company Patriot Rentalproviding the filming equipment.

It became known about the beginning of the filming of the “fields of heroes” in the Kyiv region on July 27, 2022: he himself announced this himself Komarovsky, and state agency Ukraine on cinema issues, as well as an announcement on official page Film on Facebook. According to the Sinopsis, the picture will become "the first large -scale film reconstruction of real heroic stories of ordinary Ukrainians who personally played the main roles in the cinema." In total, five stories are expected in the tape. August 30 I went out The first teaser in which you can again notice the very destroyed five -story building from Tiktok.

Thus, the video processed is the filming process of a documentary and artistic film, which the creators never hid. However, on the network they tried to pass this out of a staged video for the Western audience. In conclusion, we note that in the Telegram channel “Operation Z: Warrior of the Russian Spring”, from where Vladimir Solovyov made his repost, the signature for the video already Corrected: The phrase “staged video” was replaced with “some kind of propaganda fake movie”.
