In May 2024, after the final of the main European vocal competition, a picture began to spread in social networks, in which the participants in the event were allegedly captured. We checked the reliability of such publications.
May 11 in the Swedish Malmo took place The final of the Eurovision Song Contest. The next day, a photo spread in Telegram: five men are standing against the background of a press-volume with the Eurovision logo, while two of them are dressed in skirts, one more in brilliant underpants, a magnificent dress and short shorts. All the heroes of the picture are shod in high -heeled shoes, on their bodies - many tattoos, and on their faces - bright makeup. “I wonder for what such reasons we no longer broadcast Eurovision? Why don't they send anyone there anymore? What did the degenerates ended with us? " - Commented Fine blogger Dmitry “Goblin” Puchkov (197,000 views at the time of writing this analysis).
Russian "military" Yuri Kitten Published This photograph, together with the screenshots from the Eurovision broadcast and linked these personnel with the Russian invasion of Ukraine (115,000 views; spelling and punctuation of the author were preserved): “Fighting in the territory of the former Ukraine are perceived by other as a certain abstraction, divorced from their“ real ”life. These people are deeply mistaken, and therefore will inevitably suffer. The war will affect everyone, sooner or later. The devil in our world imprudes every day by our sins. <...> We are Russians, God is with us! And on the other side - demoniament and degeneration. Their demons are dancing on the fun of Satan, and we are fighting. We are also right. And there will be no compromises, no matter how many IPhones are demolished ... These vile Hari fire at Belgorod. It would be their will, they would beat in Moscow. ”
The picture was also published among other channels "The goat screamed"(71,000 views) and"Nemalakhov"(58 000), users"Picabu" And "VKontakte".
Eurovision - even after removal The Russian Federation from the competition in 2022 due to the beginning of a full-scale war in Ukraine-traditionally Calls An acute negative reaction among Russian officials and pro -government speakers. “Eurovision-2024” was surpassed by any orgy, sabbath or ritual blasphemy. The funeral of Western Europe is held regularly " - wrote In his Telegram channel, the official representative of the Foreign Ministry of the Russian Federation Maria Zakharova (734,000 views).
A video with a cut from the speeches of some participants in the competition is attached to the post of speaker of the Russian Foreign Department, accompanied music To the stage of Bal Satan from the series "Master and Margarita." Among the contestants who caused the indignation of Zakharova, - a representative of Ireland who beat in his issue of the displacement of the devil Bambie Thug (sixth place), who acted most of the number without pants (or rather, shorts) participant in the duet Windows95man From Finland (19th place), Ukrainian rap artist Alyona Alyona (They, paired with Jerry Heil, became third, in the video of the Zakharov performer are called representatives of the “Kyiv regime”), who was surrounded by a half -naked dance of the British Ollie Alexander (18th place) dressed in corsets and high-heeled boots dancers in the number of the Spanish group Nebulossa (22nd place). Got the winner of the Eurovision Council Nemo From Switzerland - they (the singer identifies himself as a Nebinarian person and asks to use this pronoun in relation to himself) went on stage in a skirt.
On the photo that spread in this context, however, there are several details that make you doubt its authenticity. So, on a press one behind the back of the people depicted, the letter V on the Eurovision logo is made in the form of a white heart, but in reality it is traditionally Color In the colors of the country taking the competition. Accordingly, if the photograph was taken in 2024, in this place there would be a flag of Sweden in the form of a heart. The presswall itself raises questions. In the lower right corner, two logos are visible, in which a set of incomprehensible symbols is used, and not the letters of the Latin alphabet.
Moreover, the structure of the hands of people who allegedly visited Eurovision in Malmo is unnatural. So, the right hand of the second person on the left is longer than it could be in reality. At the same time, he puts two brushes on the person’s shoulder in the center at once, on one of which there is no thumb. The hand lying at the waist of the second person on the right, the fingers seemed to have grown together. Such visual errors - characteristic A line of images created using neural networks.
How found out Facts from the Georgian project “Myth Detector”, for the first time a picture with the signature “Winners of Eurovision-2025” was published On the evening of May 11, the user @radiogenoa on the social network X. Twit, who, apparently, was satirical, gained more than 1.4 million views. In his other posts, @radiogenoa supports anti -migrant, racist and Islamofobic narratives, some of his tweets are directed against transperson.
Thus, the viral photo was generated with the help of artificial intelligence, and not filmed during Eurovision. The use of this image without a corresponding disclaimer in the publications released the day after the completion of the competition, and even more so in the posts with screenshots from the official broadcast of the event, misleads readers.
