In mid-May 2024, three videos, allegedly shot in Ukraine, spread through the Russian-speaking Telegram channels. We checked whether such a description of the videos is reliable.
On one of the viral videos, adolescents raise some objects from the graves, on the other two, the authors in the Ukrainian language boast of their “catch”. The signatures to the video indicate that the collection of sweets left by the tombstones on Radonitsa (in 2024 fell on May 14) in Ukraine is massive. This selection with the same type of comments received the most widespread at Telegram - in particular, thanks to the channels "Pozdnyakov 3.0"(403,000 views at the time of writing this analysis),"Uncle Glory"(217 000),"Observer"(198,000), Voblya (142 000) and "Army / News"(104 000).
Among the Eastern Slavs Radonitsa (Radovans, Radunitsa, Seeing) - a feast of commemoration of the deceased, celebrated on the ninth day after Easter. It is customary to visit the graves of loved ones to Radonitsa and bring treats with them. Traditionally, these were painted eggs and other homemade food, but in recent decades they have partially replaced the sweets and cookies that can be bought in the store and easily taken to the cemetery. Not all Orthodox priests approve of such a deviation from the centuries -old tradition. Opinions differ about the common practice to take sweets from the graves - exists position that in this No Nothing reprehensible, especially if a person is hungry, others directly welcome the appropriation of sweets, seeing in this a kind of rite Christ. Nevertheless, Russian users of social networks regularly complain about compatriots who specifically come to Radonitsa in the cemetery, gain whole bags of sweets and take them home. For example, in 2024 we walked on the network photo And video, made, as claimed, in Rostov-on-Don and Kansk. In these, as in other similar cases, the collection of sweets in cemeteries was attributed to representatives of the people of Roma.
Such cases are not rare in Ukraine. In May 2024, Russian-speaking Telegram channels actively distributed video Alina Khomenkova From the Dnieper, the widow of the Ukrainian military Ilya Khomenkov, who died at the front. In the video, the girl complained about the unceremoniality of people in the cemetery, grabbing objects brought from her hands brought to the grave. The outrage of Internet users called And the inhabitants of Krivoy Rog, collecting sweets from burials to Radonitsa.
Another video (the very same, from the viral selection in which the man boasts of a 12-kilogram bag with sweets) began to diverge in large Odessa news resources-“”Truha Odessa"In Telegram and"The main news. Odessa»On Instagram - May 14. Large pro -Russian channels began to spread this video only A day later. This is a circumstance, as well as some other details (for example, the video is well distinguishable in Ukraine, Roshen sweets, and in Russia or Belarus It is difficult to get them now) They say that the recording with a high probability is made in Ukraine.
Another video in the plot is similar to the above - the person who removed it shows his “prey”. However, on this entry you can’t see a single brand of sweets - they seem to be specially laid out so that the labels cannot be identified. The author of the video, who is behind the scenes, speaks Ukrainian with a pronounced accent and makes numerous mistakes: “wires” instead of “Pull"," Confets "instead of"Tsucker"," Generally lonely "instead of" Metal Idalnoye. " “Verified” failed to find a video in the Ukrainian -language segment of the network.
The third video, from the cemetery, is equipped with the Ukrainian -speaking titer “HTO named” (“who has already gathered”). On May 14, a fragment of this video without a signature in Ukrainian actively distributed V Belarusand, accordingly, people on the record were represented Like Belarusian. Only the next day, Russian Telegram channels began to share the video with the weighed titer, and the first, according to the TGSTAT service, both dubious videos (together with the shot in Odessa) posted the channel "Pozdnyakov 3.0". He repeatedly was He was noticed in the spread of inaccurate information related to Ukraine, and it is conducted by Vladislav Pozdnyakov, the creator of the Male State movement, which promotes discrimination on a gender basis, organizes the injury of people and organizations and is declared extremist in Russia.
On the other hand, the surname recognized on video tombstones (beaver, Dmitruk, Balanchuk and another with the end of the catholic crosses, the abundance of Catholic crosses, as well as the fact that the authors of the Telegram channel somehow got an uncircumcised video, not found in any large Belarusian channels and public versions of the origin of the video.
