At the end of May 2023, a picture appeared on the Web, allegedly taken in one of the schools in Ukraine. It shows that on the wall next to the portrait of the Ukrainian president there is a photograph of the American leader. The social networks say: this is evidence that the country has become a US colony. We checked the reliability of the viral photo.
The most common signature for this picture is this: “Portraits in the office of the director of the school of proud and independent Ukraine. Zaporozhye. " The picture captures a wall on which two letters decorated with the Ukrainian coat of arms hang, and portraits of Joe Biden and Vladimir Zelensky are located above them. Sometimes publications are complemented by ironic and/or insulting comments, for example, “Everything according to the fan is the White Master and the local Gaulizer”, “The White Plantator and the town supervisor”, “The colonialism in its pure form” or “We would hang a little higher the portrait of Biden on the site of the director”.

Well, almost. Special operation"(12,000) and"Waiting”(7000) - most of them were mentioned in the analysis of“ verified ”in connection with the spread of fake information, and some have repeatedly become its primary sources. The photo is also found in public and on the personal pages of VKontakte users (examples here, here, here And here), Twitter (here, here, here And here) and on Some news sites.
The spread of the image began in the pro -Russian segment of Telegram on May 29, 2023. So, the earliest publication of those that was able to find "verified" was placed at 12:48 Moscow time in a small channel "South Live"(8400 subscribers at the time of writing this analysis, 2000 views), which is already mentioned In the refutations "verified". In the post stood a hashtag #writes subscriber. On the same day, similar posts with the same photo allegedly from the subscriber from Zaporozhye appeared in the channels "Shaman Rahu"(2600 views) and Tarik_news (5300), and these are the constant heroes of our texts. For example, "Shaman Rahu" More than once Published Fake materials marked "from subscribers" and Share strangers incorrect publications. The same applies to Tarik_news: recently there Published a fake picture from the Turkish restaurant, also allegedly sent by subscribers, and previously laid out an mounted video with the speech of Zelensky, edited photo From the Berlin Zoo and picture, stated, made in the New York subway. "Verified" studied other publications "South Live" and also found others among them refuted us fakes.
As in the case of previous posts from subscribers, who eventually turned out to be fakes, the new photo was not accompanied by almost no details: no school number, the name and surname of the director, nor the date of shooting are indicated. There are also no visual landmarks in the photograph itself, with which it would be possible to determine the place where the picture was taken. There is no information about the location in the metadata file. The creation of this kind of non -informative photos without distinguishing features is one of the favorite methods of fake authors. We have already analyzed a number of similar messages based on the pictures against the background of the door, walls or fence, on which ads supposedly hung Kyiv clinic, Texas zoo, New York metro, Hamburg library, and also laboratories And Clinics In Lviv.
Since sometimes the authors use the content they found on the network to create fake materials, they tried to find the original images of the letters captured on the wall, and we succeeded. Moreover, they were placed on one resource-Blogger's blog platform.
So, the letter located on the left was handed In 2005, Galina Pereanknko, class teacher of the 7th grade of the Podlesnaya comprehensive school-as of March 2015, she worked in the same institution deputy Director for educational work and teacher of the Ukrainian language. The press indicates that the educational institution located in the Kirovograd region.
Second letter in 2009 Received Vera Belkin - Teacher English of the Lviv Lyceum of Management, which, respectively, located in the Lviv region. A logical question arises: why are the director of the Zaporizhzhya school allegedly two letters hang, handed in different years and different people who worked in other regions of the country?
Thus, the publications we have analyzed correspond to several parameters at once, according to which the “fake” verdict can be made. Firstly, the photo began to spread in a grid of Telegram channels repeatedly caught for lies. Secondly, an anonymous subscriber allegedly sent a picture, who did not specify any additional details. Thirdly, the letters shown in the photographs can be found on the network in the public domain-in different years, different people received them in different areas of Ukraine.
