In social networks and Russian media, the caricature of the Ukrainian president from the cover of the German satirical magazine circulates. We checked whether Zelensky was so ridiculed in Germany.
The image of interest to us appeared on the network at least October 24, 2022. On it, Vladimir Zelensky’s company is presented in the form of a black hole that sucks various objects: bags with money and individual bills, cartridges, rockets, weapons, military equipment, etc. A dark -skinned man in a suit with a red tie and a woman in a red dress are also drawn from below. The German inscription in the picture reads: “Ewiger Appetit” (“Endless appetite”). The name of the Titanic magazine, das endgültige satiremagazin is placed in the upper left corner, and in the right - the cost of release and its number.
Leading channel "NTV" so Commented The emergence of this caricature: “German journalists once again made fun of the growing appetites of Kyiv. Here is the cover of the Titanic magazine popular in Germany with a black hole in Zelensky. ” On their pages in "VKontakte" And Telegram The TV channel “Tsargrad TV” also shared a picture, while mentioning a technical mistake on American television, when Zelensky was supposedly accidentally turned on instead of recording sounds of a black hole. In general, the cover was widely dispersed along the public in VKontakte, among which "The incident is tin"(36,000 views, 160 likes),"Power in truth"(15,000, 190) and"Newspaper | Our Donbass"(11,000, 1170), as well as on Telegram channels"Signal"(24,000 views),"Yakov Kedmi"(57 000), Putin TG Team (355,000), "Truthfulness"(318 000),"Bullet"(199 000) and others.
Let's start with the fact that people depicted at the bottom of the cover are American TV presenters Evrod Kassimi And Ronda Walker. They are drawn in the same clothes in which they were during the broadcast of the WDIV Local 4 News channel, when, according to numerous Russian media, a technical failure occurred and instead of a video with the recorded sounds of a black hole showed the performance of the Ukrainian president. We are already They wrote About this case in our other analysis: it turned out that the video was falsified, but nothing of the kind happened on the air. Later, new messages appeared: supposedly in Warsaw local artists painted 3D graphs with Zelensky as well as in the image of a black hole, but this story It turned out to be a fake.
As for the cover of Titanic magazine, our foreign factory colleagues from projects already wrote about it "Myth detector","VOKS Ukraine" Reuters And Factcheck.ge.
Firstly, the image under consideration indicates that this is the October issue (Oktober 2022). Titanic is a monthly publication, and new numbers come out at the end of the month. As written on the official website of the magazine, the October number was released again September 30, and November - October 28. On the website of the online magazine store you can look All numbers of numbers for 2022, and there is no viral image.
Secondly, the release with Zelensky caricature on the cover is marked as the 11th number (nr. 11), but this contradicts the official numbering of the magazine. Titanic standard issues (excluding special issues) correspond to the serial number of the month indicated on the cover, that is, Oktyabrsky should have number 10, and in the November, respectively, we give examples for different years below.
Thirdly, editor -in -chief Julia Mateus magazine Confirmed Reuters that the cover in question is not related to its magazine. Real covers October (tenth) and Noyabrsky (11th) Titanic numbers are dedicated to the new King of Great Britain Charles III and “colonial crimes” against Germany, as well as “the fear of recession in Germany”.
Thus, the viral cover with Zelensky is a fake. Apparently, it was created in the framework of the fictitious narrative that foreign citizens and journalists compare Ukraine and its president with a black hole that absorbs the money of taxpayers. In addition, we have repeatedly written about the fake covers of other magazines related to Zelensky and Ukraine. Among them we have already come across fake covers El Jueves, Time And Charlie Hebdo.
