Does Ukraine plan to release a postage brand with Zelensky and Bandera?

In the summer, the Russian state media disseminated information about the impending output of the Ukrainian brand with the image of Zelensky, Bandera, Petliura and Khrushchev. We decided to check how true this is.

In mid -July "Russian newspaper"(The official publication of the Government of the Russian Federation, where the adopted laws are also published) posted an article that described the impending issue of a new brand. According to the publication, the President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky, the leader of Ukrainian nationalists in the 1930-1940s Stepan Bandera, the head of the Ukrainian People’s Republic (1919–1920), Simon Petlyura and the Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev, will be depicted. In this case, the persons of these politicians are placed against the background Rashmore mountains - The cliffs in the United States, in which the profiles of American presidents are cut down. Russian Newspaper refers to unnamed Ukrainian media. There is no this information in the Ukrainian media, but the news of the Ukrainian Rashmore is located on pro -Russian sites writing about Ukraine. For example, on July 14, 2022, the site wrote about this "DonPress", And already as about the failed fact, this is the earliest publication. There are also news about the brand on the site "Politicus","Info-24", V "Zen" And Twitter.

Messages about the output (consistent or planned) brand with Zelensky, Bandera, Petlyura and Khrushchev are neither in the Ukrainian media nor in Ukrainian Telegram channels. In one of the earliest records On this subject, the Zen has a link to a certain Ukrainian news Telegram channel, where the photo of the brand is accompanied by text in Ukrainian: “Ukrposhta” is preparing a new brand. It depicts politicians who played an important role in the history of the country. ”

Such a Telegram channel from allegedly almost 70,000 subscribers could not be found, which allows us to conclude: this is a fake from beginning to end.

The postage stamps of Ukraine are produced exclusively by Ukrposhta. On the website of the state postal service there is A detailed plan Printing brands for each year. In 2022, there are two such planes: a thematic plan for the release of brands and an operational plan (related to the military position). Due to the Russian invasion, the initial schedule has changed, and Ukraine has released several brands dedicated to one or another event at the front-for example, explosion on the Crimean bridge or flooding Cruiser "Moscow". In no schedule, no brands with Zelensky, Bandera, Petlyura and Khrushchev are not listed. There is no word about this site "Ukrposhta", nor in Facebooknor in Telegram channel postal organization.

In some PostsIn addition to the image of the brand itself, there is a second photo - a hand that holds two blocks of brands with "Ukrainian Rashmor"

Website "VOKS Ukrainian", Analyzing this case, quite quickly found the original photograph. This is a photo from the official messages On Facebook by Ukrposhta, published on May 23, 2022.

This publication was dedicated to the beginning of the official sale of the second series of the famous brand “Russian War Ship ...”, dedicated to the flooding of the Russian cruiser “Moscow”. In two photographs, everything is identical, except for the brands themselves: the position of the hand, the shape of the nails, the background and partially the field fields. Finally, on the second block (which is located in the background) of the brands with Zelensky and the rest of the fake authors forgot to put down the price. On stamps with a Russian warship, the price is indicated by the letters F on one block and W on the second (the first Nominal - 23 UAH, the second, for international departments - $ 1.5). And on one of the blocks of brands with politicians there is no such marking.

Thus, the news about the consisting or impending issue of brands with Zelensky, Bandera, Petlyura and Khrushchev is completely fabricated, from the original source to the images of the brand itself.
