Is it true that the Polish bookstore, along with the Biography of Zelensky, recommends buying Main Campf and books about the Volyn massacre?

In August 2023, a screenshot of the page of the Polish online store appeared on social networks, according to which customers who are interested in the book about the Ukrainian president are also advised to read about Bandera and Hitler. We checked whether this is so.

The screen of the screen began to be distributed on August 5. For example, in the Telegram channel "Rita Ebzeeva" (126,000 views at the time of writing this analysis) picture accompanied This description: “Polish bookstore. If you buy books about Zelensky, then in the section "You may like it," The store automatically offers books about the Volyn massacre, UPA and, suddenly, "Mine Campf". An interesting logical chain. By the way, the very presence of Hitler’s book is freely available in Poland. ” Blogger Alexander Semchenko (91,000 views) Writes: "Books with the adoration of the propaganda speeches of Zelensky are in the same section as the books about the Nazis."

Similar posts are found in Telegram channels "Sexton"(58 000),"Mikhalkov in Telegram"(16,000), Zanoza (14,000), PEACHBLOSSOM (14,000), "ZhS Premium"(10,000),"Olesya Loseva"(10,000),"Odessa public television z z"(6000) and othersas well as in public and on the personal pages of VKontakte users (examples here, here, here, here And here).

The book “Zelensky is visible in the spread screenshot. Biography "(Zełenski. Biografia) Polish journalist Wojucha Rogachina. This really existing work on the life path of the President of Ukraine was released Wielka Litera Publishing House in May 2022. The publications do not specify which site we are talking about, but on the interface “verified” it has determined that this is a book shop Tania książka, where Zelensky is really a biography sold With a discount for 26.23 zloty.

Below, the screenshot mentions other books also presented in this store:

• "The butchers from the OUN-UPA"(Rzeźncy z oun-upa) Marek A. Kaprovsky. From the annotation it follows that the author “reveals the history and activities of the organization of Ukrainian nationalists, as well as the biography and views of Stepan Bandera”;
• "Warsaw children of the 44th. True stories of children in the rebellious Warsaw"(Warszawskie dzieci '44. PRAWDZIWE HISTORIE DZIECI W POWSTAńCzeJ Warszawie) Agniesk Kubala. The author talks about the life of children at the early stage of the Warsaw uprising;
• "Volyn devoted, or as the command of the army of Kraiova, threw the Poles to the arbitrariness of the UPA"(Wołyń zdradzony, czyli jak downództwo ak porzuciło polaków na pastwę upa) Petra Zykhovich. According to the description on the site, the author reveals the reasons for the mass destruction of the Poles by the Ukrainian rebel army in the 1940s;
• "Wolf children"(Wilcze dzieci) Violetta Savitskaya. The book tells about children who were orphaned as a result of the evacuation of East Prussia and the subsequent advance of the Red Army in 1945;
• "Inexplicable secrets of World War II"(Niewjašaśnione tajemnice II Wojny światej) William Breyer. “The 100 most mysterious episodes, inexplicable facts and unusual coincidences: amazing events, unsolved secrets, disappeared people, terrible forebodings and strange meetings,” the description says;
• "Main Campf. Critical edition»Eugeniuses Caesaria Kruly. From the annotation: “Given the terrible consequences of the reign of the Nazi leader, many are wondering: can it be found in the book written by him by traces of that madness that will later lead the world to the edge of the abyss?” In this edition, the Polish historian and political scientist analyzes the work of Adolf Hitler.

Thus, the statement that Mine Kampf was sold in the Polish bookstore is not entirely correct, since the site presents a critical publication with Hitler’s work analysis.

As for the screenshot itself, then "verified" Not found Section Może i się spodobaarian on the site Taniaksiazka.pl. Moreover, the phrase "you may like" in Polish is written with an error - there should be może CI się spodobaarian, but also such a combination of words in the online store Found Exclusively in abstracts and reviews. “Verified” also noticed that the font of the name of the section in the screenshot differs from what is used on the site.

Finally, we contacted the representative of Tania Książka through the official social networks of the company. “I inform you that when the goods are added to the basket, the information on the website of our store is not displayed like the screenshot sent. We have no tab “you may like” the site, especially since there is an error on the posted screenshot, ”the answer said. A specialist in working with customers of the store Gabriela Kropyvnitskaya in an email called a viral image by a photomonta.

In fact, if on the website Taniaksiazka.pl put The book “Zelensky. Biography ", then first will be displayed by the section" Learn about other exciting acquaintances and unfamiliar figures " link On the list of biographical bestsellers. Further, except for the offers of backpacks and written supplies, there will be two more tabs. The first is recommended, as the site algorithms believe, similar products: books are presented there About Polish military correspondents, Pope John Paul II, Pope Benedicta XVI And Autobiography of the Italian priest. The last section is devoted to books that visitors to the site buy together with the biography of the Ukrainian president: among them there are several novels from Polish authors (one of them is called "In pursuit of the Nazis") And the book"Vova, Volodya, Vladimir. Secrets of Putin's Russia".

The earliest publication with the screenshot was found in the Telegram channel "Shaman Rahu"(4000 views), where the post appeared on August 5 at 10:55 Moscow time. The record specifies that the image was sent by some anonymous subscribers from Warsaw. This channel is repeatedly distributed Anti -Ukrainian fakes, and some of them were also based on materials allegedly sent by readers.

Thus, it can be confidently argued that the distributed screenshot was forged: unknown people edited the real picture of the screen, inaccurately adding a non -existent section there. It is likely that the very recommended list of works about the Second World War is also real, but was taken from the page of some work on this topic, and not the biography of Zelensky.
