In March 2023, reports spread on the network that the streaming service would release the adaptation of the epic novel Mikhail Sholokhov about the life of the Don Cossacks. The poster of the alleged series was also encouraged. We checked whether such a project is being implemented.
Publications about the upcoming series based on Sholokhov’s novel from Netflix appeared in mid -March 2023. It is reported that the role of the protagonist Grigory Melekhov was received by a single -skinned actor Kishon White, and the role of Aksinya Astakhova went to a transgender actor named Brian Michael. The shooting of the project allegedly took place in New Zealand, namely in the Hobbiton, which, "according to American filmmakers, most of all resembles the Don steppes." According to the dispersed poster, the premiere should take place in the coming summer.
March 26 on the website of the TV channel "Tsargrad" I went out An article about as if the upcoming series, in which the author was indignant about the “minority dictatorship” in the United States. At the same time, he I countedthat a viral poster is just a meme created on the basis of real news. Also about the new Netflix project were written "Federal News Agency"And some other sites. The announcement was widely dispersed through Telegram channels, among which "Skurlatov Live"(92,000 views at the time of writing this analysis),"Lera Kudryavtseva"(54,000 views, now the post has been deleted),"Tsargrad TV"(42 000),"Nina Vatt"(31 000),"Belarusian security officer"(22,000),"Russia today 🇷🇺 Putin"(20,000) and"Swiss🐈vatnik"(13,000), on VKontakte (examples here, here, here And here), Twitter (here, here, here And here), "Zen"And on the site"YaPlakal".
To begin with, we note that the frame is supposedly from the Netflix series, which is found in many publications, is actually a foist -out version colorized And miserable photo From the filming of the scene from the Soviet multi -part film "Quiet Don"(1957) Director Sergei Gerasimov. For the first time, this image appeared on the Constantinople website as an illustration of the announcement of the series, but there and there They did not hidethat this is a specially created collage. It is likely that most readers even remembered this scene from the Soviet classics, while on the frame to the right of Grigory Melekhov performed by Peter Glebov depicted Zinaida Kiriyenko, who played Natalya Melekhova. Judging by the virus announcement, the transgender actor played the role of Aksinya Astakhova (in the Soviet film adaptation, her image embodied Elina Bystritskaya).
As for the new film adaptation of the “quiet Don”, there are no references to social networksnor on site Netflix streaming service. “Verified” also failed to find information about the actor named Kishon White in the sites IMDB And "KinoPoisk", At the same time, the news about the announcement of the series on the RIA Fan website illustrated photography Kishona McDonald - Participant of protests at the White House in the summer of 2020. But the transgender dark -skinned actor Brian Michael really exists, however, in his future projects The film adaptation of Sholokhov’s novel is not indicated.
The earliest emergence of news about the modern version of the “Quiet Don” we found in the TELEGRAM channel That's News (less than 1000 subscribers), where the record was Published March 14, 2023 at 13:55 Moscow time and at the time of writing this analysis collected almost 70,000 views. Lack of announcement of a new project on official Netflix resources Explained In the description of the profile to the other: "The information posted in this channel is humorous and is completely or partially fiction." In addition, after a few minutes, similar post appeared On the Picabu in the @thatsnews account marked "mine" and tag fake news.
It was not possible to establish the exact author of the viral poster, however, we found the earliest publication with it in the Merkuri Telegram channel, where a post with a picture without any signatures was published March 14 at 13:36 and removed for a minute. Then at 13:45 poster appeared On the Twitter account "Ilias Mercury", and two hours later in the "Mercury" channel reputed Joking from That's News.
We assume that the basis of a humorous announcement could be publications public "Lev Scharan" in "VKontakte" and the same name Telegram channelWhere on the morning of March 13, a black and white picture of a black man in her father and Circassian was published. The signature read: “Grigory Melekhov. The series "Quiet Don", production of Netflix, 2023. " The original photo located In the library of the US Congress, according to the site of which the picture was taken from 1870 to 1886 traveler George Kennan during one of his trips to the Russian Empire. On the back side of the photo there is a signature: “Karabakh“ Arab “Negro-Gorets”. The poster of the Netflix nonexistent series is based on this photo of Kennan.
Thus, Netflix never announced work on the series based on the novel “Quiet Don”. The announcement of this project, which was dispersed over the network, appeared not on the resources of the streaming service, but in the Russian-speaking satirical Telegram channel. The viral poster of the project is based on a real photo of a black resident of the Russian Empire, taken in the second half of the 19th century.
