In 2023, several photos and videos were distributed in Runet, which shows a tattoo depicting the Ukrainian president. One of these tattoos supposedly helps the Ukrainian sex worker receive more money in the United States, and the other two were on American television, where they were called ugly. We checked whether these images are real.
On the buttock
In early February 2023, reports appeared on social networks about how tattoos with the image of the Ukrainian president allegedly help sex workers abroad. “In the United States, the Ukrainian refugee-eastern girl uses Zelensky’s face to earn more money. Users noticed a Life hack from an escort in English forums. It turns out that you need to fill your tattoo with Zelensky on your ass, and the Americans are ready to order your services for an increased price! ” -It is said in a signature to a photo of a girl with the corresponding tattoo in the Telegram channel "Tin of the day"(114,000 views at the time of writing this analysis). In many other similar posts Approvedthat this method uses not one, but several women.
Similar publications are found in Russian-speaking Telegram channels "Observer"(232,000 views), Voblya (179 000), "Federation"(90 000),"Russia 🇷🇺 Live"(85,000),"Info DPR"(62 000),"Boiling water"(61 000),"Bad news"(47 000),"Pridnztrovets"(26,000),"Shaman Rahu"(2300) and others. About the Ukrainian sex worker with the Tata Zelensky was written on VKontakte (examples here, here And here), as well as on the site RIA Fan and others news resources. In April, the history of this girl was told in the article of the newspaper "Arguments and facts".
“Verified” found the earliest post with a similar story and a photo of a girl with Zelensky’s tattoo in the Russian Telegram channel “Kostyan Cat - Official Channel"(178,000 views), which mentioned In our refutations dozens of times. There, a viral picture appeared on February 2 at 21:31 Moscow time, while the next day, the second image began to spread the second image the next day, which is a screenshot of the post on an anonymous English-language web forum. For example, in the Telegram channel "South Live"(2900 views), tied With the transfer of Vladimir Solovyov, it is indicated that the screenshot was sent by a subscriber who noticed "Lifehack from an escort".
The post under the heading “My ass is in demand thanks to Zelensky” was allegedly published on the forum on February 2, but we did not succeed in finding it. Below are a complete translation of the text.
In this difficult time, I would like to share some useful tips for my work colleagues. For about a year now I have been accompanied by men to various business meetings, sometimes I agree to additional services. With the outbreak of war, I decided to support our President Zelensky and made a tattoo with him. I did not even suspect that this was my happy ticket. After all, because of the war, I recently moved to the United States to work. I studied the industry industry and tried to find the necessary contacts so as not to get to the scammers. In the end, in a couple of months I managed to get used to it and find regular customers. I did not think that Zelensky’s tattoo would be so popular in the United States. The number of customers has grown significantly, and all of them are very pleased with my services. Actively agree to a higher price. I would never have thought that I would be grateful to Zelensky for the fact that because of him my ass became so in demand.
With the help of a reverse search for pictures, we found the same photo, but without a tattoo with Zelensky on Leakxxx.com, where erotic content is published. There was a picture there Placed Back in October 2021, that is, a few months before the start of the so -called special operation. The photo captures the webcam model under the nickname Betajizz (also known as Beverly B.).
On the lower back
At the end of February, another story arose in Runet on the topic of tattoos with Zelensky. Reportedthat a certain American allegedly unsuccessfully filled the image of the Ukrainian president and thereby "scared the views of the participants of the American show about ugly tattoos." Sometimes specifiedthat this work received the title of Ursk tattoo of 2022. The authors of some publications are also Add: "You will not believe it, this is not a joke, but an absolutely real tattoo."
This time the most popular post was on VKontakte - in the public "The ax is a repository", Where he scored more than 340,000 views. As for Telegram, there the news distributed the following series of channels: ""Observer"(226,000 views),"Heaven is"(155 000), TG Team Russia (83,000), "Sexton"(73,000),"Boiling water"(63,000),"Mordor's voice"(61 000),"True Russia"(53,000),"Border.ru"(44,000),"New 🅉 Ukraine"(36,000),"I'm shocked"(36,000),"Male Legion"(21,000),"Shark"(10,000) and others.
The earliest publication with this story appeared on the morning of February 20 in the Telegram channel "Before everyone else. Well, almost. Special operation"(12,000 views), which previously He became The primary source of dozens of fakes. There, as in part of other similar posts, in addition to the photo of the tattoo itself, you can find a 15-second video of the program, which is supposedly called the "terrible tattoo of the world for 2022." The video shows how the presenters seem to scold the artist for her work with the image of Zelensky, and she claims that her client liked everything. At the same time, in the upper right corner of the video, the Apple TV+striming service logo is shown, and at the end of the trailer it is reported that the show will be released on March 31 with the age rating of R.
In fact, transmission with this name does not exist on any streaming service. Moreover, in the United States, such television projects cannot get an age limit of R, Designed for film products, since such a TV content is evaluated by another system.
Having determined the individuals participating in the transfer of people, it was “verified” that in fact a viral video is a fragment of a reality show Ink Master The Paramount channel, where tattooists participate in various kinds of competitions. On the official YouTube channel of the program, the video of interest to us was Published On September 12, 2021. It is called "The worst tattoos of the 12th season (part 2)." The passage we need starts at a time mark 15:40. Under the condition of the competition, the tattooist was supposed to fill a new image over the old tattoo: in the end, instead of a butterfly with a hieroglyph It turned out Owl on the branch.
To fill the photo of Zelensky in the 12th season Ink Master would not have been possible even in theory, since that episode of the reality show I went out in 2019, and picture Ukrainian president Made Only in March 2022. In addition, we found that the ending of a fabricated roller Taken From the trailer of the film "Tetris", which was published on the Apple TV channel on February 16, 2023.
On the navel
The last story appeared on the network just recently, at the end of November. This time on social networks told This story: “Tattoo with the“ counterattack of Zelensky in the ass ”hit the show about pranks with tattoos. The essence of the show is that the participant agrees to a tattoo, but until the very end he does not know what exactly they will be scored on him. Here, one of the participants was filled on Zelensky’s stomach with a bare ass and the signature "counter -offset to my ass." In general, the tattoo is terrible, but extremely clearly reflecting what happened to the counteratus. ” Sometimes it is specified that everything happened in Last episode of either American, or English Reality show on the Netflix striming service.
51-second video and its screenshot diverged through pro-Russian publics on VKontakte (examples here, here And here), as well as in Telegram channels, among which "Russia now"(248,000 views),"Lighthouse"(170 000),"Putin in Telegram"(158 000), Voblya (157 000), "Release Kraken!"(146 000),"Forbidden"(80 000),"Alexander Semchenko"(78 000),"Special operation z"(70,000),"Info DPR"(50,000),"Sexton"(46,000),"What happened?"(36,000),"Donetsk z"(29,000) and"The thoughts of Okhlobystin"(28 000).
The earliest publication of the video, which was tracked “verified”, appeared on the day of November 20 in the Telegram channel “Sheikh Tamir"(133,000 views) - Like it surprisingly, this is one of the record holders on the distribution of fakes we disassembled. In the lower right corner of this viral roller is the Netflix logo, and at the end of the video, actor Joel McHail is shown.
We found out that in fact a viral recording is an excerpt from the American Joel McHail show, which in 2018 It was broadcast on Netflix and in the same year it was closed, and Zelensky was elected President of Ukraine only in 2019. The passage of interest was published On the YouTube channel of the streaming service is also in 2018. McHaile talked about the program in the video Justo of US From the British version of the MTV channel, where the participants did not know what tattoo they were filled with. The program was Closed in 2020.
In the initial video, the hero of the program around the navel really filled the tattoo on the knees of a naked man, but in the original, another person - not Vladimir Zelensky. Moreover, there was no inscription about the counterattack on the real tattoo.
Thus, all three stories we disassembled turned out to be fakes. Moreover, they can be observed in them a kind of evolution: in the first case, the photo was simply edited and a fake screenshot was created, then a static picture and an excerpt of another video were mounted in the video, and for the last time the authors of the fake changed the original video sequence.
