The primary source is the news about the complex position in which Charlot seemed to be-the Telegram channel “But my Yandex Kid” (23,000 views), where the post was published June 26, 2023 at 16:28 Moscow time. Unfortunately, as often happens, the authors of large channels and pro -Kremlin media either did not find the source of information, or did not check the description of this channel, which says: “A parody, satire on political reality. Only proven fakes. " Thus, Charlot's statement was invented by an anonymous blogger. However, it cannot be ruled out that some users deliberately issued satirical news for the real one.
June 28 Fake Charlot Quote Published Telegram account of the NTV channel.
