In April 2024, the news dispersed on the Internet that the author of a series of books about Harry Potter was planning a quick move to Russia and even acquired real estate in the center of Moscow. We decided to check if this information corresponds to reality.
About the alleged move to Rowling to Russia Wrote some Information And Entertaining Portals, as well aggregators News. This topic was actively discussed by users of social networks (X, Telegram, Facebook, "VKontakte") And Platform blog. Specialized resources about this also wrote about this real estate. In many sources They published explanations of the writer himself about what caused the decision to move: “Russia is the last state where I can call my names with impunity. Here I am a woman, not a man with a vagina, as they believe in Britain. " It is argued that, according to the writer, “it is very strange for her that in the modern world you have to fight for her right to be a normal woman. And in Russia it is not necessary to do this, which is why Russia became its choice and a stronghold of traditional values, which it, like all normal people, adheres to. ”
For several years, Joan Rowling has been going on for several years. It all started in 2020. Then, on her page on Twitter (now - X), the writer commented on the article in the publication of Devex, in the text of which the expression “people with menstruation” was used (thus, obviously, the author united women and representatives of other genders who have menstruation). Rowling wrote: "" People with menstruation "? I am sure that there was some word describing these people. Someone, help me. " Then she proposed several options for the distorted word "woman" in English. The author of Harry Potter did not stop there and wrote more Series posts in which she explained her position. In short, it boils down to the fact that the denial of the significance of the biological sex harms the struggle for the rights of women. Rowling publications caused a sharply negative reaction of transactivists, and she was accused of transfobia. Outraged Activists and the fact that the main villain in the recent Rowling Rowling “Poor Blood” is a maniac changing into a woman (this, according to critics, proves the author’s transfoby).
Actors from Harry Potter films also responded to conflict: main roles performers Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter), Emma Watson (Hermione Granger) and Rupert Grint (Ron Weasley) spoke out in support of the transfer, while Robbie Coltrain (Hagrid) and Helena Bonem Carter (Bellatris Lestrange) defended Rowling, saying that they did not see any transfobia in her position.
Rowling told On his page in X, that hundreds of activists threatened her to "beat, rape, kill and blow up." The confrontation of the writer and transcom has come beyond the Internet. In 2021, a group of transactivists arranged promotion Protest near the House Rowling, and her address was visible in the photographs they posted on the network. In this regard, the writer rained threats in an amount sufficient to "to glue the whole house with them." In 2024, the British TV presenter India Williubi She saidthat she turned to the police in connection with the behavior of Rowling as a blogger, - it claims that she repeatedly used incorrect pronouns, turning to Willowie in social networks.
The news of the alleged move to Rowling to Moscow refers precisely to the confrontation of the writer with transactivists who has been lasting several years. However, the reports that she bought an apartment in Moscow or at least expressed a desire to do this, “verified” could not be found in British or other English -speaking media, nor in her social networks. It was not possible to find a quote attributed to her in these sources - in none of the translation options into English. It should be noted that large Russian publications did not write about this - both superconsierial and independent.
The earliest message that Rowling acquired real estate in Moscow was published on April 12, 2024 at 21:45 Moscow time in the Telegram channel "but my Yandex-Koshek"(22,000 views at the time of writing of the analysis). In the same post, a quote is also dispersed through social networks.
This channel specializes in satirical news, which its authors are clearly reported in the description of the profile: “A parody, satire for political reality. Only proven fakes. " Despite this warning, Internet users often take publications in this channel for a clean coin. So, “verified” has already denied reports that Anatoly Chubais filed a lawsuit against Russia in the ECHR because Putin's statements about him that Olga Buzova condemned the participants of the "almost naked" party or that the Supreme EU representative for foreign affairs and security policy Josep Borrel He called on African countries to starve for independence. All this news initially appeared as satirical in the channel “But my Yandex-Koshek”, but then spread under the guise of real ones.
