In November 2023, in Russian media and social networks they wrote about an interview in which the star of the Kinovselnoy Marvel allegedly called the Russians insanely dodgy children and expressed the opinion that American restrictions do not work, and the Western media are not illuminated by the economic situation in Russia. We checked if she said that.
Telegram channel "Heaven is”(138,000 views at the time of writing this analysis) presented this news as follows:“ Actress Elizabeth Olsen said in an interview that the American media are lying about the situation in Russia. According to her, in their reports, CNN correspondents talk about empty regiments in Moscow supermarkets, that the ruble has lost the status of a payment fund, and the trade blockade undermined the country's economy. "I thought they were already there as in the Middle Ages." I learned the truth during a telephone conversation with a friend from Russia with whom she studied together. The girl called the actress to consult with her which French wine is better to choose for dinner. "No empty shelves. The last technique, brands. You know, these Russians are insanely dodgy guys. This is somewhere in the genes. They do not work there," Olsen noted. " Chairman of the Commission of the Council of the Federation of the Russian Federation on Information Policy Alexey Pushkov (105,000 views) in a commentary on the virus fragment of the interview American Actresses wrote that Europeans “They are so used to believing in their propaganda that they are ready to swallow anything”: “The lightness of European consumers is amazing.”

Important"(121 000)," "Scott Ritter in Telegram"(112 000),"Kostyan Cat - Official Channel"(90 000),"Uncle Glory in Telegram"(58 000),"Russia 2.0"(55 000), Russia Live (47,000) and "Coachman"(32 000). RT channel posted two posts at once (now both are deleted) mainly Russian -speaking account (177,000 views) and in the channel "Especially for RT”(34,000), where they wrote:“ The Rupor of Pravda ”CNN and others like him brazenly and underminedly lie to their audience about the state of affairs in Russia and its world isolation.” Similar entries can be found on the site "RIA Novosti"(Since Olsen wrote about the radio Sputnik), TV channel "Tsargrad", As well The Voice Mag, Woman hit, "Notebook","Morning","Podolyaka", In the social networks of the television channel"360", Accounts"Public news service"And the site Newsy.ru In Zen. In addition, viral video was published by publics and users "VKontakte", YouTube (here And here), Tiktok, "Classmates" Instagram*, Livejournal, social networks X and Facebook* (here And here).
The 39-second viral video is part of a certain interview with Olsen. At the same time, the name of the resource that conducted a conversation with the actress is not indicated in the above publication. In all news notes and posts in social networks, Russian -language voice acting is immediately imposed on top of the original audio road, so Olsen is almost impossible to hear. In the video distributed, her words are given as follows:
Recently I called up with a Russian friend, with whom we became friends during my Russian training. And you know what - I'm in complete shock. Looking at the reports of empty shelves in Moscow supermarkets on CNN, about a ruble that has lost the status of a payment fund, about the embargo for the supply of European products and equipment, I thought they were already there as in the Middle Ages. And she turns on Facetime and asks: "Which French wine is better to choose for the evening?" No empty shelves, the last technique, brands. You know, these Russians are insanely dodgy guys. This is somewhere in the genes. American bans do not work there.
At the end of the zero, Olsen did not study in Moscow for long, which she herself repeatedly talked about in many interviews. In 2009, actress Spent Semester at the Moscow Art Theater School. According to her, she always wanted to learn in Russia because she loves the theater, and especially Chekhov. “I was there before the invasion of Ukraine, before the Sochi Olympiad, before the adoption of anti -homophilic (probably, Olsen agreed. - Approx. Ed.) Laws, so it was a much more disposable country,” - told She is at the O'Brien Conan show in 2018, and then taught leading several obscene Russian words. In the same interview actress Name The Russians were incredible and added that they experienced many crazy events.
However, to discover the source of the conversation of Olsen about the sanctions on the “verified” viral video translated into English quotes from the viral video. We found the original only with the help of a reverse search for the screenshot - it turned out to be a video version of the podcast Happy Sad confused. The full video lasts almost 50 minutes and was Published On the channel of the host Josh Khorovitsa back in May 2023.
In general, the conversation was devoted to the work of the actress, and Russia, according to the transcript, was mentioned only once as a video. About the 20th minute I went A conversation on the topic of singing, and Olsen remembered: since childhood she was told that she was not singing very well, and therefore, when she had to sing in front of the audience during her studies in the Russian Federation, Elizabeth was difficult to force herself to do this because of a large emotional block.
The fragment distributed in Russian -speaking social networks and the media consists of three passages, the first and longest of which is about 29 seconds: it begins at the time mark 33:26 and ends on 33:55. It is not about sanctions against Russia and not about the Russian friend - the actress said that there are several filmmakers with whom she wants and will work on new projects. Thus, the superior Russian -speaking voice acting has nothing to do with what Olsen really said.
The earliest post with fabricated video among those that was able to find “tested” by keywords appeared in the Telegram channel “Pool N3”(112,000 views) November 2 at 12:00 Moscow time. We are previously repeatedly Mentioned This channel in our analysis, and a significant part of the misinformation distributed there was associated with video content. However, in the case of Olsen on the video, there is no branded worship, and according to metadata The file, it was downloaded in Telegram 45 minutes before the publication, so for the first time the video could be used in a post that we did not find.
*Russian authorities They think Meta Platforms Inc., which owns social networks Instagram and Facebook, an extremist organization, its activities in Russia are prohibited.
