On the network, they distribute photos of travel tickets, the inscriptions on which are advised to go to the subway more often, since in the subway the probability of surviving during a nuclear explosion higher. We checked whether in the metro metro of the two countries they held such shares.
Moscow metro
In October 2022, numerous posts appeared in social networks and Telegram channels about the alleged new action or, as some Internet users write, advertising in the Moscow subway. The picture showed a ticket with the following inscription: “Use the metro more often. Nuclear war? We drove! The probability of perish from a nuclear explosion is 90% lower, if you are in the subway. Only passengers will survive. ”
For example, this is a photo with the signature "Creative" in your Telegram channel Laid Zakhar Prilepin (169,000 views), also offering “develop leisure in the subway”: in his opinion, there should be restaurants, hairdressers, military registration and enlistment offices, museums and art sites there. And in the channel "Media Russia Not Moscow" a picture with the signature "Thermonuclear advertising of the Moscow metro" received 321,000 views. In addition, publications can be found in the media, for example on the site Deita.ruas well as in VKontakte (examples here And here). It is noteworthy that a picture without any explanation on your Instagram* Shared and writer Dmitry Glukhovsky, author of the post -apocalyptic novel "Metro 2033".
Official refutation appeared As early as October 13 at RIA Novosti. Then the press service of the metropolistan was informed with the agency that the viral picture was fabricated: “This is a fake. The original photo is already about five years old. ”
Its version of the appearance of fake ticket design October 14 introduced Telegram channel “War with Fakes” (174,000 views), which allegedly installed the primary source of the photomontage. We give the words of the authors of the channel (spelling and punctuation are preserved): “The Ukrainian centers of psychological operations edited the archival photograph of 2020 from the article on the website of one of the Moscow municipal newspapers. In the material Walked It's about increasing the cost of traveling by city transport. The original photo shows the Ticket "United", which, in addition to the subway, operates in Moscow electric buses, buses and trams, as well as on Monorels and MCC (Moscow Central Ring. - Approx. Ed.). The authors of the fake erased the inscription "One" from the original image, but left the pictograms depicting the types of ground vehicles. It is obvious that it is unreasonable to print on a single travel text, calling to use only the metro. The fake was made to once again scare Muscovites and residents of other cities of Russia with an atomic war and increase the level of anxiety of citizens. ”
In fact, this is not 2020-he, as reported in the press service of the metro, for more than five years. The most previously the appearance of the photo that we managed to track was on the website of the TVC channel on October 5, 2017. Photo Used To illustrate the news under the heading "Tickets" One "in Moscow transport, children's poems will appear."
Update of October 20, 2023: The original photo of the ticket was taken on December 15, 2015. The original image can be found on the website of the Moscow Agency, where it is placed Under the heading “Festive design” of a single ticket with the symbols of the festival “Journey to Christmas”. ” In the version on the website "TVC", the Christmas emblem is echoed.
The founder of installation is an Internet user under the nickname Valaar Morgulis. Initially, he Published edited picture on the website of VC.ru October 10, 2022 at 19:50 Moscow time in a selection under the heading “Honest Advertising, or Sad But True”. According to the author, so "the effective advertising of the Moscow metro could look like today." In addition, the text indicates that the whole selection is memes on the topic of mobilization, moving abroad and other current summons. At 20:33 author Laid memes on the "Pikabu" with tags "Humor", "Black Humor" and "Play of Words", and October 11 Placed The picture is on Twitter, but without explanation, as a result of which the image could become viral.
The author of the edited picture really erased the inscription “One” from the original, and then added phrases about the nuclear war and the probability of survival in the explosion. However, we strongly doubt that the goal was to “scare Muscovites and residents of other cities of Russia” and “increase the level of anxiety of citizens”, rather the opposite. How we are They wrote In one of the past materials, according to numerous research, laughter has a positive effect on health, immune system and reduces stress levels.
Below a few more examples of invented advertising from the same author.
Satirical news
Kiev metro
News about mentioning nuclear war on tickets of the Kyiv metro appeared a few days after similar news about the Moscow Metro. The proof in this case also served as a photo of the ticket, but against the background of the turnstile. On October 15, this picture with the signature “Brilliant Councils from the Kyiv Metro” appeared on social networks of the former Prime Minister of Ukraine (occupied The post in 2010-2014 during the presidency of Viktor Yanukovych) Nikolai Azarov (Telegram, Twitter, "VKontakte"). In general, the photo has become viral, since you can find many posts on social networks, for example on VKontakte (here, here And here), as well as in large Telegram channels, among which Tarik nezalejko (65,000 views), "Ne. Sahar"(211 000),"Military observer"(69,000),"Waiting"(11,000) and others.
In fact, this picture is also a photomont, as in the case of the Moscow metro. Firstly, at the Ukrainian ticket it is written: “The brown of the metro Yaknachastishe. Nuclear vine? Passed! The nuclear nuclear nuclear vibuha by 90% Nizhch, Yakshcho Tu in the subway. Visit Tilki PasAzhiri. " This inscription Represents A literal Ukrainian translation of the text from a previously disassembled Russian -speaking meme. The situation in which the Kiev metro would use just such a text is extremely unlikely.
Secondly, we found an original non-edited photo, and it shows only turnstiles without a ticket in the foreground. This picture was accompanied by materials published on August 2, 2017 on Ukrainian sites, for example, “The Village Ukraine" And "RIA Novosti Ukraine". Then the media reported that in Kyiv at the Klovskaya metro station, the first assault rifles were installed for selling tickets with a QR code.
Thirdly, apparently, the author of the installation used the old photo of the ticket. We found a series of several photographs from the Kyiv city state administration (KSGA), which in early 2020 in Ukrainian sites, including State Portals, illustrated News about QR codes in public transport in Kyiv. Then it was reported that from April 1, a single electronic ticket will operate for payment of a one -time trip. Those pictures show a ticket with data that is identical to information from a viral photo allegedly taken in the fall of 2022: the same QR code, the place of purchase (metro station "Theater"), a ticket office, a ticket number and even partially purchase time (minutes and seconds coincide). Obviously, someone edited the initial picture by changing the purchase date (instead of February 20, 2020 it became October 12, 2022), having a photocheted the inscription about the nuclear war and for some reason completely removed the line with the date of the end of the ticket.
*Russian authorities They think Meta Platforms Inc., which owns the social network Instagram, an extremist organization, its activities in Russia are prohibited.
