A photo of the actor in a T -shirt walks along social networks, which depicts the silhouette of the Crimean Peninsula with a cult phrase from the film “Terminator”. We checked the authenticity of this picture.
In the summer of 2022, network users distributed a photo in which the famous Hollywood actor and former Governor of California Arnold Schwarzenegger is captured in a T -shirt with a pro -Ukrainian print. The applied picture shows the outlines of the Crimea Peninsula, on which the winged phrase I'll Beck (“I will return”). This movie cytite, Pronounced The hero of Schwarzenegger in the science fiction action movie Terminator became one of the most famous in the world.
In June, on Twitter, posts with these photos posted accounts Free Ukraine (more than 18,000 likes), Tuan (almost 8000) and Tonia Mastrobuoni (250), as well as the senior political adviser to the US Helsinki Commission to combat corruption Paul Massaro (though after some time he deleted the tweet, but Remained Archive copy). In VKontakte in public "Evil Crimean" And "Black list | Alushta " These records collected more than 20,000 and 10,000 views, respectively.
The earliest publications with this photo date back to 2014. Examples can be found in VKontakte (here, here And here), Twitter (here, here And here) or Livejournal, and on the sites of Ukrainian media, such as "Television", "Ukrainian News", "Reviewer" And "Phrase.yu".
With the help of a reverse search by the picture, we found out that the original picture with Schwarzenegger Made On June 30, 2012-almost two years before the Russian Federation in March 2014 Included The Crimean Peninsula is part of their territory. According to the site Zimbio.com, dedicated to the entertainment news, on that day, Schwarzenegger had lunch with his friends (including another Hollywood star, Sylvester Stallone) in Cafe Roma in Beverly Hills, California.
On the site presented More than a dozen photos from the paparazzi, and one of them completely coincides with the photo from the posts about the Crimea. However, it was edited. In the original, there are no images on the iron Arnie T -shirt, it is simply monophonic. In other pictures from other angles there is also no print with the Crimea and the phrase from the “Terminator”. So someone just put a picture over a t-shirt in a graphic editor. Moreover, in 2014, there was also a different version of Photoshop: on the same T-shirt Arnold says “Crimea is Russia” (examples here, here, here And here).

We add that there is another version of the picture - there is an image of Crimea (this time against the background of the flowers of the flag of Ukraine) and the inscription “I will return” (i'll be back) are not on the Schwarzenegger T -shirt, but on his tablet computer. But in this case, the picture is edited. The original photo was taken in January 2013, then the former Mr. Olympia promoted his new film "Return of the Hero" And in honor of this talked With fans on the site reddit.com. As a confirmation that it is really he, the actor laid out a photo with himself and a tablet, where the screen says: “This is Arnold. Ask me about anything. Reddit.com. " By the way, in his first post, he, of course, used the phrase I'll Be Back.
Despite the fact that the above pictures have been changed, Schwarzenegger expressed support to Ukraine more than once. For example, in January 2014, specially for Ukrainians on the Euromaidan, actor Recorded A short video message, in which he wished them success in the peaceful defense of democracy and freedom. And in mid -March 2022 Arnold Published A nine -minute video in which he turned to the Russians and accused the Russian government of a lie about the motives and the course of a special operation in Ukraine.
As for the opinion of Schwarzenegger precisely on the accession of Crimea, in 2014 we managed to find only his joke. During an interview dedicated to the premiere of the militant "Sabotage" March 19, 2014, his asked: "Do we pay enough strength and attention to what is happening with Russia and Crimea?" To this former governor with humor answered: “I do not interfere in these foreign policy affairs. But I think that they all need to just stop doing what they are doing and go to see the film "Sabotage". "
