Let's start with the fact that the symbol presented in the picture is really Used On the emblem of the Azov regiment.

Two photographs: the real 2019 and mounted on the 2022nd-almost identical. Baking of various types, baskets for products, and white price tag on a metal holder in the center of the photograph, lying on both sides of Easter baking, coincide on both sides of Easter. Only icing and decorations on Easter and the color of the picture itself are distinguished - when installation, apparently, it was made a little brighter. Moreover, in the same report of "facts" there is photo From a different angle - on it Easter is also decorated with ordinary sprinkling, not the Azov logo, the name of the shelf and Ukrainian flags.
