A photo of the postage stamp of the Republic of Chad with the image of the burning Crimean bridge, released in support of Ukraine, was dispersed on the Web. We decided to check whether in an African country we released such a brand.
Photos of the brand in support of Ukraine with a burning Crimean bridge, allegedly released in the Republic of Chad, was published on several non -authoritative Ukrainian and Russian news portals, for example Activatica, "Politicus" SVTV News and others. The news dispersed in Telegram: the agency’s channel wrote about it UNIAN, "Ukraine.ru","Arrow"And others. posts About this and in blogs Livejournal. They write about the brand Users social networks - Twitter, Facebook, VK.
We were not able to find news about the release of such a brand either in the press of the Republic of Chad, nor in foreign media - they write about this mainly in social networks and Russian and Ukrainian sources. At the same time, when Ukrainian mail issued such a commemorative brand, large international agencies wrote about this, for example Reuters And The Guardian.
Website The ministries of mail and new technologies of the republic’s information, where the news could appear about the release of new brands, is currently not available, so we could not check if there was something like that there. However, most likely, such news would be covered in the local press.
There is no information about such brands either on site World Postal Union, nor in catalogs For philatelists. Moreover, design The brands that were produced in the republic in 2020–2021 are strikingly different from the distributed image with the Crimean bridge.
Nevertheless, a photo of the brand is not just a collage in the photo editor. Such brands can really be found in sale In thematic Ukrainian stores. There are also on international sites -True, they promise to deliver them not from the child, but for some reason from the same Ukraine.
According to the media and social networks, the image of the brand scattered after it Placed In his Twitter, a user with the nickname Jay in Kyiv, clearly supporting Ukraine. The photo was published on November 9, 2022 at 13:33, and we were not able to find publications with this image that would be posted earlier. This tweet is quoted on Reddit - And this is almost the only mention of the brand with the Crimean bridge in the English -language segment of the Internet. After that, the image began to rapidly spread through social networks, and then it was picked up by the media.
Postal brands Republics Chad are really very colorful and diverse. Perhaps that is why they are often Fake. In 2001, the postal administration of Chad even sent to the World Postal Union letter With a warning about the manufacture and distribution of by private companies in Belgium, Lithuania and the United States of fake stamps of the Republic of Chad. The release of such fake brands continues now, so there are even on sites for philatelists chapter The "illegal" brands of Chad.
Thus, we were not able to find a single convincing evidence that such stamps were really released in a child (or any other country). In addition, information about this is spread mainly in Russian and Ukrainian social networks and the media - there is not a word in the international English -speaking and franco -speaking press about such brands.
