Is the video true, in which Vladimir Zelensky portrays how the anthem of Ukraine plays on the piano with a penis?

On January 23, 2022, a video was shown on the air of the Vesti Week program in which the future president of Ukraine allegedly chose a very provocative way to joke over the national anthem. We checked the reliability of this video.

In the traditional final issue of news on the Russia-1 channel, the presenter Dmitry Kiselev discussed the foreign policy of Ukraine and its President Vladimir Zelensky, who, before being elected to this position in 2019 was A popular actor, humorist and TV presenter. Kiselev, in particular, declared: “Previously, they laughed at his numbers until they drop. For example, how original the comedian Zelensky performed, while still in the profession, the anthem of Ukraine. When there are two musicians behind the royal keyboard, such a game is called "four hands." And here you don’t even know how decent to determine this duet. To begin with, the pianists take off their pants. They raise their hands high, and now the melody is already praised, as if played by one finger. However, no, two. ” At the same time, the audience of the “news of the week” showed a fragment of the performance of Zelensky and his partner on the show “Evening Quarter”, in which the melody of the anthem of Ukraine sounded. “And now I want to ask: when Zelensky was real, performing the anthem of his country, when he was without pants or when nevertheless in his pants?” - summed up Kiselev.

How I found out The factor Yuri Bershid, shown on the air of Russia-1, the fragment does not coincide with the real recording of the concert, during which Zelensky participated in this issue. Performance took place In the summer of 2016 in Jurmala. The actors of the show “Evening Quarter” Vladimir Zelensky and Yuri Krapov “played” not the anthem of Ukraine, but completely different works: the Waltz Chopsticks, the Habaner of the Carmen’s opera and the song “Hawa Nagila”.

Apparently, the Ukrainian comedians took on the basis of their number of performances by the American duo The Freaking Brothers. They first became show Its no later than 2007. The video became quite popular, Loaded On YouTube in 2008. Already another duet of American comedians Repeated number in 2019. On these records, as well as on the recording of the concert with the participation of Zelensky, the same musical selection sounds that the anthem of Ukraine does not include.

On the air of the Vesti Week program, in turn, a video with a substituted sound path was used. A fragment of the final release of news in which Zelensky supposedly plays a piano with a member, coincides with the video, published On YouTube in the fall of 2019, three after a little year after the concert in Jurmala and after the election of Zelensky by the president.
