At the turn of 2023–2024, a video diverged on social networks, in which a man in a red suit, very similar to the president of Ukraine, is incendiary. We checked whether the author of the video really captured Vladimir Zelensky.
On a 21-second video, a man with the face of the Ukrainian leader in bright robes dashingly dancing the song “New Year” by the Russian group “Disco-Climea”. “The dance of Zelensky is on New Year's Eve,” says the signature under the video, which was dispersed along social networks. So, in Tiktok One of the posts with a record at the time of writing this analysis was watched more than 8.5 million times, and the publication in the Telegram channel "Sanya in Florida" - 440,000. They talked about this record and in the publication"The news feed of Zaporozhye".
None of the publications are specified when the viral video was shot. At the same time, it is striking that the man on it looks clearly younger than Zelensky in 2023 and has a thicker hair.
Another strange detail on the video is balloons with the number of 18 on the background.
On the TV screen behind the dancer, you can see a congratulatory text in Russian: “With an anniversary, dear! Be happy. " The date under it is similar to 08/27/2020.
Through services reverse search for images You can find earlier publications of almost the same video, but the dancer has a completely different person in him. For example, in 2022, the record was published in Instagram. The music also sounds completely different, not a “disco accident”.
There is an even more old publication - it was posted in his Tiktock In October 2020, a dancer Vusal Mehtiev. He lives in Lipetsk and specializes in oriental dances, which he often performs at weddings and other celebrations. At different times the artist Published other Fragments the same performance. The video with the face of Zelensky, which appeared only at the end of December 2023, is obviously made on the basis of Mechtiev’s publications using neural networks.
According to the analysis of “verified”, the first -edited video was for the first time placed In social networks on December 31 - this was done by the user Tiktok @Zelensky__neOfficial. In this Ukrainian -language account, posts that make fun of Ukrainian politicians, including obvious Fakes with the face of Zelensky (sometimes based on his real video).
In the summer and autumn of 2023, pro-Russian Telegram channels and ordinary Internet users have already distributed videoon which Zelensky supposedly performs the dance of the abdomen. It is like I found out The Factcheck.ge project was also created on the basis of another, real video using a video editor - this time a “victim” of the authors of the fake was a dancer from Argentina, which also publishes fragments of his performances in Tiktok.
