Is it true that the Ukrainian writer offered the obligatory wearing of the Red Star to Ukrainians who support Russia?

Users of social networks were outraged by the offer allegedly received from the Ukrainian writer Larisa Nitsy, to oblige Ukrainians who support Russia and wear a red star on clothes. We checked whether this news is true.

In early February 2023, a quote from the Ukrainian writer Larisa Nitzia began to spread in Telegram channels that the residents of Ukraine, adhering to pro-Russian views, should wear a red star on their clothes: “This is not a segregation, and we are not fascist Germany. Just people should understand who is in front of them. You support the Russians - wear a red star on clothes. If you go against society, against your people, then you must be designated. Decent establishments should not let such, whether hairdressers, gas stations or cinemas. Let them feel like outcasts. ” For a few days, about 200 Telegram channels shared news, including “Solovyov"(230,000 views at the time of publication of analysis),"Mriya"(218,000 views),"Ukraine.ru"(183,000 views),"Sheikh Tamir"(153,000 views) and others. The news was picked up by the media: TV channel NTV, "Komsomolskaya Truth","Tsargrad" News Front and others.

The Ukrainian children's writer Larisa Nitsya is not the first time in the headlines of Russian publications. In August 2018 "Komsomolskaya Truth"Wrote that the writer was outraged by the presence of children from the self -proclaimed republics of Donbass in the summer camps in Ukraine. In September of the same year, according to "Newspaper.ru", Nitsya demanded to deprive the post of Minister of Education Lilia Grinevich, as she returned" propaganda "textbooks in the Russian language to schools. And in October 2022 "Moscow Komsomolets"Said that the writer decided to rename a number of characters in her own fairy tales so that their names were not reminiscent of the Russians. According to Ukrainian Media, Nitsya has long been known for his firm position to protect the Ukrainian language. The writer tries to fight using the Russian language in Ukraine even at the household level - regularly reports on her page On Facebook about incidents related to someone’s refusal to serve it in Ukrainian.

The proposal of Larisa Nitsya “brand” the inhabitants of Ukraine with pro -Russian views Caused Another wave of discontent of the Russian audience. Users of social networks held an analogy with yellow starswho, during the Holocaust period, was obliged to wear Jews in territories controlled by the Nazis in order to segogue them from the rest of the population. According to order The commandant of the Polish city of Vloclaveku Obreführer Kramer dated October 24, 1939, "Jews who do not wear a yellow identification sign in the form of a triangle in front and behind, threatened severe punishment." Type of a distinctive sign Varyled From the country to the country, but most often it was the yellow six -pointed star of David with the inscription "j" or "jude". After a proposal, Nitzia to oblige pro -Russian inhabitants to wear an identification mark - the Red Star - on clothes, the media Concludedthat "Russians in Ukraine have long become such" Jews of the 21st century. "

Nevertheless, none of the publications we found specified where and when the writer Nitsya made a similar proposal. Search in Google in Russian and Ukrainian did not give results. And a few days after the appearance of news in the Telegram channels Nitsya wrote On her Facebook page that she "never said this."

The earliest publication we found appeared on February 1 in the Telegram channel "but my Yandex is a wallet", And then diverged through larger channels, not one of which referred to the source. For the most part, the reposts referred to a certain Jeanne Stegis, whose name was signed by the publication about Larisa Nitsa on the channel "Volgalive_z"(Volga Bureau" Solovyov Live "). However, in this case, the primary source of publication is of key value, since the channel "but my Yandex is a wallet" - this is the well -known edition of" verified "the satirical project (the analysis of his other news can be found in the section" Read on the topic "). The authors of the channel, according to the description of the profile, publish a "parody, satire on political reality, only tested fakes." Moreover, judging by some comments Under the post about Nitsya, even some canal subscribers do not realize that they read the satire, not real news.

Thus, the fiction of the satirical channel “But my Yandex Kid” has again been accepted for the truth. In many ways, the satirical news owes its millionth coverage to TV presenter Vladimir Solovyov and the authors of the Canal of the Volga Bureau of Solovyov Live, who reprinted the news seen on social networks without a reference to the source and a minimum verification of information on reliability.
