In November 2023, a photograph of an ad with a nationalist subtext dispersed on social networks and information sites. We checked whether such a poster was really hung on the territory of Ukraine controlled by Russia.
According to the Ukrainian media, in the territories occupied by Russia in the south-east of the country, the local population collided with a call to Russify their names. So, in Melitopol, passers -by photographed a poster with the text “Galushko → Glushkova. Are you changing your passport? Change the last name! Let's cleanse from the imposed Ukrainian Nazism! ” Further, the poster of the law firm is on the poster, which helps to draw up all this.
Users learned in a woman depicted on a poster, a well -known Ukrainian singer of Hutsuli descent Fiïnka. The latter with irony perceived the news, Supponing: “I said in an interview that I was a nationalist. And those Kalitsuns are the same as the Nazis, that the nationalist. "
The news was reported by such publications as UNIAN, NV, Dailystars.net, "Novice.live"as well as Telegram channel "Nightingale drop"(166,000 views at the time of writing this analysis).
Russification of Ukrainian surnames in the east of the current territory of Ukraine, as well as in the border regions of the Russian Federation It has begun Even in the days of the Russian Empire and continued in the first years of Soviet power. The reason in each individual case was its own - a conscious policy of the authorities, Low professionalism employees of passport tables, religious institutions, military registration and enlistment office and repressive and penal bodies, as well as situations, when people themselves changed their Ukrainian surnames under the influence of socio-political, legal and cultural factors. For example, many Voskogonov became Volgonov, and teeth became tooth.
In modern times, no purposeful policy was pursued in Ukraine to return to such surnames of the original appearance. Only the new edition adopted in 2019 can be distinguished "Ukrainian spelling", Who established a new spelling of the ends of Russian surnames on -I, th, -y: for example, Bєvy, Ostovska and Solovyov -Sydiy. However, this concerned only spelling in the Ukrainian language, the surnames did not fundamentally change.
Similarly, “verified” did not find any evidence of purposeful Russification of Ukrainian surnames in territories occupied by Russia - even in the form of unofficial agitation. This also applies to part of the Zaporizhzhya region controlled by the Russian Federation, where citizens since June 2022 Given Russian passports. It is in this region that Melitopol, mentioned on the viral poster.
Consider this picture in more detail.
To illustrate, really used photo The famous Ukrainian singer Fiïnka (pseudonym Irina Razovanets). The choice of a person with a characteristic Ukrainian rather than a Russian appearance in the context of the theme of the poster looks strange. Moreover, in 2022 the singer Performed The song "Biy Muscovite" could be familiar to many passers -by in this capacity.
Glushkova is not a Russified version of Galushko at all. Surname Galushko (Galushka) comes, according to different versions, either from the name of the culinary product, or from the root with the meaning of “black” (like the word “duck”). Russian surname Glushkov Etymologically connected with the words "wilderness" and "deafness."
Only one picture of the Melitopol poster is distributed throughout the Internet, from a specific angle and without identification marks in the background. If this announcement would hang in an open place, then it would be logical to expect other personnel with it.
In a series publications The exact address and telephone number of the law office on the poster are not wiped: Melitopol, st. Intercultural, d. 77/4, office 5, +79902168498. The name of the street Written With an error: "Intercultural." Another announcement from the office with the same address and number and with the same error can be found on the board of ads on the social network "VKontakte". However, the office website indicated in it, despite the relatively fresh date of the announcement, today does not function. In the list of lawyers' services, the change of surname is not mentioned. There is no anti -Ukrainian rhetoric in the ad. There is nothing like that in other publications from the same Account. On any other resources, legal offices at the specified address do not occur.
In the corner of the poster there is a state emblem of the Russian Federation. According to Part 6 of Art. 5 of the Federal Law "About advertising", Russian advertising does not allow the use of official state symbols, including the coat of arms. All of the above allows us to conclude: with a high probability, the announcement is not present. According to the service TGSTAT, the photo of the beginning on the morning of May 15 on Ukrainian-language Telegram channels spread. It is possible that before us is one of the examples of counter -propaganda and disinformation of the enemy from the Ukrainian side.
