Internet users are discussing a book with a contradictory heading allegedly written by the President of Russia. We checked whether Vladimir Putin really published such a job.
Mentioning Putin's book “My Struggle” can be found on social networks ”VKontakte" Twitter, Livejournal And Facebook. Typically, such publications are accompanied by a photograph of the cover in which the Russian president is depicted in the kimono during the fight (the long -standing passion of Putin judo is well known). One of the site users Reddit He even claimed that his son allegedly took such a book in the library.
Photography of the book "My Struggle", allegedly written by Vladimir Putin, began to spread widely on the Internet after tweet The opposition Russian politician, the former deputy of the State Duma of the Russian Federation Gennady Gudkov (473,000 views, 4,283 likes and 810 retweets at the time of writing this analysis). In his post, Gudkov placed a photograph of Putin's book next to the cover of Adolf Hitler's book "Main Campf"(German." My struggle "), which describes the key ideas of Nazism.
Nevertheless, we were not able to find a book with the heading “My struggle” behind Putin’s authorship neither in large bookstores, nor on OZON, Wildberries or “Yandex.Market” marketplace. In the Russian media, there is also not a single mention of this publication. Judging by messages Media and catalogs Bookstores, Putin took part in writing three books. All three - textbooks for judokas: ""Judo. History, theory, practice"(2000),"We learn judo with Vladimir Putin"(2002) and"The art of judo. From the game - to skill"(2015).

The only announcement about the sale of Putin's book “My Struggle”, which we managed to find, was published in the VKontakte community ”We are for Putin | Patriots of Russia". After some time, the book disappeared from List goods put up for sale. According to the archive version of the page, the copy cost 750 rubles; The same price was indicated in the tweet of Gennady Gudkov. It is reliably unknown why such an announcement appeared in this pro -government group and why it was soon deleted. At the time of publication of this analysis, the group administrators did not respond to the request “verified”.
Both in the tweet of Gennady Gudkov, and in other publications on social networks (including in the announcement of the sale on VKontakte) the same photograph of the book was used. We were not able to find other pictures of this printed publication.
Russian pro -government information project "Noodles»I found that back in 2004, a visitor to the Svalko.org forum in a joke Published This is an image with a “photojab” tag. Since then, the "cover" has appeared several times in the online space. For example, in 2020, Twitter user Yurayakunin He wrote a comic tweet: "Roskomnadzor forbade selling Putin's book" My Struggle "in a German translation in Russia. And in May 2022, the humorous community "CDUM", Which invents satirical news headlines, wrote:" My struggle. " Putin published a book about judo classes. ”

Thus, there is not a single confirmation that the President of the Russian Federation has ever published a book called “My Struggle”, and the approval of the reverse rely on the only image-a comic picture, which, apparently, first appeared at one of the Russian forums in 2004. Nineteen years later, it was published in his Twitter politician Gennady Gudkov, either by mistake, or deliberately issuing the cover for the present.
