At the beginning of October 2022, a curious statement of authorship of the Russian politician, political scientist and an active participant in television talk shows was dispersed on social networks. We checked whether Matveychev really spoke or wrote this.
The statement completely looks like this: “We are not retreating because we lose, this is the teachings. With NATO, we can soon fight for real, and there the situation can be the way it was during the Great Patriotic War: the retreat and individual lost battles are possible. And how to conduct exercises for such cases? Here we are now holding them out. We have already won Ukraine, but now it is important for us to prevent our quick victory until we try different tactical decisions. Therefore, we retreat: there is strength to go forward to the Polish borders, but we specifically pretend, imitate a retreat and learn. Anyone who does not understand this, a complete fool. ”
Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Committee on Information Policy, Information Technologies and Communications Oleg Matveychev was called the author of the above quote YouTube (more than 85,000 views), in Facebook, LJ, Telegram And on a number of other resources. Often the statement is given in the form of a screenshot with a date 04/04/2022.
Oleg Matveychev is known for his phrases, more than once causing a hype and even a scandal. So, in 2020 he Offered “Destroy the surgically” of some citizens called by him “liberal scum.” And in January 2022, against the backdrop of riots in Kazakhstan Wished To local businessmen, who at one time demanding the resignation of Nazarbayev, “sticks for a selfie in the anus” and “raped wives”. Blog Oleg Matveychev in LJ at the beginning of 2022 was a member of the TOP-40 in popularity.
Nevertheless, neither in LiveJournal, nor in Facebook, neither on the pages of Matveychev in other social networks, we do not see such a statement. Moreover, contrary to the references by September 4, both the phrase itself and the screenshot with it definitely began to spread only in October. It is impossible to imagine that such a curious statement for about a month was in the shade. Not to mention the fact that the counterattack of the Armed Forces Started September 6, that is, after the words of Matveyichev.
In particular, in Telegram, the earliest publications of this screenshot we found in the evening of October 7, when it appeared on the channel "Anatomy of events". After that, the picture of the picture in other social networks began. Among the others, on October 8, a relatively well -known political consultant, media technologist and producer Konstantin Dolgov shared her. However, he is soon reportedthat Oleg Matveychev personally contacted him and announced the fake of Skrin.
Given the absence of any evidence in favor of the reality of the statement of Matveyichev and even the presence of a refutation (here we are inclined to believe the words of Konstantin Dolgov), we consider the quote we are considering to be a fake.
