At the turn of April and May, 2024, a photo allegedly taken in the subway in Ukraine was dispersed in social networks. The picture shows a banner of the Armed Forces of the Armed Forces with a slogan, in which the bloggers saw the modified phrase of the President of Russia. We checked the reliability of a viral photograph.
ApprovedThat the wall captures the wall next to the escalator in the Kiev metro in the distributed picture, and on it - advertising posters calling to join the ranks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. On one of the banners - a phrase in Ukrainian, which is translated into Russian as follows: "Why do we need such a world, if there is no Ukraine?"
“Beautiful graphics, powerful syllable. It’s just that there is something familiar in it, ”commented the picture with the alleged plagiarism Telegram channel“Ukraine.ru"(139,000 views at the time of writing this analysis). The authors of the post remembered that the phrase "why do we need such a world if Russia is not there?" In 2018, Vladimir Putin said. In Telegram channel "Sheikh Tamir"(132,000 views) at the same time asked:" Interestingly, they (probably Ukrainians. - Ed.) Understand where the original comes from? "
According to the TGSTAT service, at least 150 such publications appeared in Telegram, which have gained more than 1.5 million views. Channels told about this advertising poster in the subway "Uncle Glory"(184,000 views), Voblya (148,000), "Kirill Fedorov / War History Weapons"(97 000),"Petya the first"(93,000),"Mordor's voice"(67 000),"Yakov Kedmi"(50,000) and others, as well as publics on VKontakte (examples here, here And here). At the same time, the Telegram channel "In fact in Kharkov"(64,000 views) claims that posters" campaigning to join the 3rd separate assault brigade "Azov" "are not located in Kyiv, but in the Kharkov subway. “As we have repeatedly said, the whole Ukrainian“ national idea ”is nothing more than secondary from Russian culture. And therefore, it is not surprising that the Ukrainian Nazis are unconsciously, but they pull to themselves everything that “shoots” with us, ”the authors of the post believe.
Putin actually pronounced the words “Why do we need such a world if Russia is not there?” The statement sounded in the documentary of the TV presenter Vladimir Solovyov "Mirrafish-2018"Released in early March 2018 on the channel" Russia 1 ". Then the President of the Russian Federation stated that in the event of a nuclear strike in Russia, an answer will follow, which will lead to a global catastrophe for humanity and the world, after which he said: “But I, as a citizen of Russia and the head of the Russian state, then I want to wonder: why do we need such a world, if there is no Russia?”
In addition to the quote, the coat of arms of Ukraine, the name of the 3rd separate assault brigade (3 Oshbr), as well as the address is visible on advertising from the distributed picture. site for joining the ranks of this unit. The 3rd Oshbr is a connection of the ground forces of Ukraine, which was Created January 26, 2023 based on the regiment of special operations forces "Azov". At the same time, in the viral picture of the emblem of the brigade, it is probably due to the fact that the symbolism of Azov recognized In Russia, extremist, and its demonstration is prohibited.
"Verified" studied the Telegram channel of the 3rd Oshbr and found there a similar banner in post dated March 16, 2024 with a proposal to join the ranks of this brigade. However, unlike the picture distributed in the runet, another phrase is written on the poster, in no way connected with Putin’s words: “Light in the third assault”. About this advertisement in March They wrote and Ukrainian media.
How Noticed Facts from the Stopfake project, if you reversing the virus image in the service Tineye, you can find publications with the same photo in a foreign press. For example, April 23, 2024, a picture appeared On the website of the French television channel France 24. According to the signature, the poster call to join the Armed Forces of the Armed Forces of the Armed Forces of the Armed Forces was posted at the Kyiv Metro station, and the photo was previously taken by the Reuters correspondent Alina Suretko. The poster almost completely coincides with the unit published in March in the Telegram channel-on it the not converted quote of Putin, but the words “light in the third assault”. In April-May, Russian media, for example, also used the same picture Lenta.ru, "Kommersant" And "Komsomolskaya Truth". Moreover, only in the latter case, the logo of the 3rd Oshbr was blurred-probably this image was the main fake.
The original can also be found in Photobank Reuters with an appropriate description and branded tanks. In turn, on the website of the Getty Images photographic agencies is presented picture From an AFP correspondent, Sergei Supinsky - there is a similar poster with the same slogan “Light in the Third Schurmova”, located on another advertising square in the Kiev metro.
The earliest post with fabricated photos, which was able to track "verified", appeared on April 29, 2024 at 13:09 Moscow time in the Telegram channel "Alchev news“(9100 views). In only 8 seconds. A similar publication was published in the channel "Kryminforum 🇿 🇴 🇻"(12,000 views), which several times mentioned In our analysis. Over the next 10 minutes, similar posts came out in the channels Zanoza (10400) and "Shaman Rahu"(4000), previously many times became primary sources distribution disinformation.
Thus, in the recruiting advertising of the Armed Forces of the Armed Forces of the Armed Forces of the Armed Forces, a changed quote from Putin was not used. In fact, unknown people edited a picture from a photo bank of a foreign news agency, replacing a phrase on a banner.
