In Russian social networks, there is often news that in Poland they released a brand with a portrait of the President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky. We decided to check if there is such a brand.
December 6 in the Telegram channel "Ostashko! Important"(338,000 subscribers) placed an image of a Polish postal stamp with a portrait of Zelensky and the inscription" Glory to Ukraine "in Ukrainian and Polish. At the same time, the shadow on the portrait falling on the upper lip of Zelensky gives him a resemblance to Hitler. Therefore, the author of the post is asking whether such brands are sent to Israel. This image came across in Russian social networks earlier, in May 2022, for example in the agency REGNUM And on regional News sites.
In May, Mark with Zelensky was really released in Poland, this was reported and Ukrainian, And Polish Media. But this news has many important details. The postal services of some countries produce the so -called personified brands. That is, any person can place an image on their taste on the brand: an inscription, his own portrait or photograph of his favorite dog. For example, such a service has Austrian mail. Just enough download Image, pay for the service (you can order from 20 pieces), and then get your order.
There is such a service in other countries - for example, in Ukraine And Poland. Officially, the mail does not distribute such brands - for example, it is impossible to buy a brand in the post office with an image of an unknown person who uploaded his photo to the site. The customer takes his brands, and then can stick them to letters and send them to friends. At the same time, they indicate the price and, therefore, they are a legal payment tool.
So did the deputy of the Krakow City Council Lukash Vantuh. On May 11, he wrote in his Facebookthat I decided to release the world's first brand with Vladimir Zelensky. “If this is not there, why not print his own,” wrote Vantuh. As a result, with the help of the service of personified brands, he ordered 99 sheets of 9 marks in each.
He took the image from that time by that time famous Mural In Warsaw with a portrait of Vladimir Zelensky.
It is immediately noticeable that the image in the Russian media differs from the initial. The shadow under the nose of Zelensky was finished, which created the opportunity, if desired, to find a resemblance to Hitler in it. There are no such "antennae" in the original image.
The Krakow deputy immediately put up the stamps for sale and said that all the proceeds would go to the needs of the Ukrainian army. And he glued one brand on a postcard and sent to Warsaw, the Russian ambassador Sergei Andreev.
The news of the new Polish brand on the same day spread widely, and on May 12, the official representative of the postal department Daniel Vitovski explained: “A brand with the image of President V. Zelensky was ordered as part of the My Mark service. This service allows you to develop a brand as you wish. "Polish post" does not sell these brands, they are the property of the customer. " A little later about this Wrote And the department itself.
Thus, the Polish brand with Zelensky really exists. But the context of its occurrence in the Russian media and blogs is distorted: it was not Poland issued as a result of the decision of the state postal department, but by the Polish Mail by order of a private person. In addition, the image itself, on which Zelensky resembles Hitler, is a fake that arose as a result of editing the image.

Most of the untruth
