For several years now, in social networks, a statement by the Minister of Health of Great Britain about the connection of the poor genetics of Russians with their aggressiveness has been circulating. Recently, the State Duma deputy also told about this on the air of the federal channel. We checked whether the head of the ministry really said this.
In April 2022 on the TV channel "Russia-1" I went out The 60 minutes program, where the first deputy chairman of the State Duma Committee on Defense Alexei Zhuravlev acted as one of the experts. During his speech, he stated the following: “You see, they all treat us like that! For example, the British Minister of Health, there is Elizabeth Kelly there-such a girl, she looks, of course, far from like a girl, but, most likely, [like] some kind of transgender. But she declares very simple things that the Russians are aggressive because we have incorrect genetics. Do you understand? This is what we are talking about! Because they really think so. " The words of Zhuravleova was commented by the host Evgeny Popov: “Well, what do you want from us then? We have such genetics. ” Then Zhuravlev mentioned fake quote George Soros, but Popov interrupted him and said that Kelly did not declare this. To this, Zhuravlev confidently and laughed with a laugh: “Why? Declared! That's right. Well, how did you not say? She did not declare? Yes, sure!"
About social networks walks about the same quote from Kelly that Zhuravlev brought, while often with reference to The Telegraph (examples in VKontakte - here, here And hereon Twitter - here And here, and in "Odnoklassniki" - here). A quote of the minister can be found outside of social networks, for example, on the blog platforms "Zen" And "YaPlakal".

In fact, a woman named Elizabeth Kelly never held the post of Minister of Health of Great Britain. We checked a list of people who held this position, and found only three women there: Barbara Casl (was the Minister of Health from 1974 to 1976), Virginia Bottomli (from 1992 to 1995) and Patricia Hughitt (from 2005 to 2007). And at present the specified post occupies Sajid Javid, his predecessors were Matthew Hankok (from 2018 to 2021) and Jeremy Hunt (from 2012 to 2018).
The primary source of the news about the statement of Elizabeth Kelly was the website of the Panorama news agency, where the notes with the words of the minister Published March 17, 2018. There, just with reference to The Telegraph, it was reported that she performed in the British parliament with a report on the state victims In a chemical attack in Salisbury and answered questions from deputies. The publication brought Kelly this quote: "Russians are a pathologically aggressive nation, and this is not a political statement, this is a genetics." And later she added that "Russian aggression should be considered as part of their DNA code."
Recall that “panorama” is a satirical publication with comic stories, which is said to logo, and in disclaimer: "All the texts on this site are grotesque parodies for reality and are not real news." By the way, this is not the first time the deputy Zhuravlev has come across the distribution of news invented by satirical portals. For example, a couple of years ago also in the program "60 minutes" he told The fact that in Denmark there are brothels for zoophiles legally.
And in the photo used in the material "Panorama", depicted Anthony Moneyen - Irish filmmaker, who removed Documentary films such as Redneki and Kalchi (2016) and “My Ireland” (2019). Rather, this is not even a photo, but a screenshot from a video of an interview with a monk on a YouTube channel Rednecs and Culchies, where it laid out In 2017.
