For many years, users of social networks spread an essay that describes the advantages of ladies over 40 years old. We checked whether the Russian showman really wrote this text.
The text begins with the words “with age, I appreciate more and more women who are for forty. There are many reasons for this. ” Further, the author lists these reasons, among which the restraint of such women, self -esteem, generosity on praise, insight, honesty, frankness and many other positive qualities.
The main platform for the distribution of the text signed by Nagiyev was Facebook - in different years, publications appeared, which at the time of writing this analysis was recruited 3200, 1300, 1200, 1000, 1000, 980, 960, 790, 760 And 530 reposts. In May 2024, the text was waiting for a new round of popularity - one of publications Users of the social network shared more than 5000 times.
Dmitry Nagiev is a public person. During his career, the artist gave a lot of interviews. He reduced his mediaactivity almost to zero after the beginning of a full -scale Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. Nagiyev has only one verified account in social networks - @nagiev.universal profile in Instagram. Neither there, nor in an interview with the showman, or in other articles and videos with his participation “verified” it found statements included in the viral text.
If you trace the history of the spread of this text on the Internet, you can see that Nagiyev steel attribute in October 2014. Before that in 2013-2014 V social networks And on different Russian -speaking sites The author indicated the other person - American journalist Andy Runi (1919–2011), leading one of the headings in the American television show "60 minutes".
It is not surprising that in English the same text signed by Rooney spread in social networks even earlier - and even then it became very popular. For example, one of publications On Facebook collected about 141,000 reposts. Essay in the English -language segment of the Internet It is known under the name "Long live mature women", quite similar in spirit to Reflections Journalist as part of his column.
However, Rooney is not the author of this ode. Back in 2003, it was actively distributed by e-mail, and the correspondent of the publication The Baltimore Sun Susan Reimer, who received one of these letters, decided to find out from the colleague if he had any relation to the virus text. “It annoys me that someone puts my name under what I did not write.” declared Then Rooney. And when asked whether he shares the author’s sympathy for women in forty, replied: “Not really.”
Two years later Rooney He returned To this topic in the program “60 minutes”: “A Singing Collection of Comments called“ Andy Runi about elderly women ”was widespread. I was pleased that many people wrote about their unbelief in my authorship. ”
The original text appeared In 2001, on the Suddenlysenior.com website, created specifically for the elderly and still valid. This resource is intended to replace for people under the age of their favorite newspapers, entertain readers and give valuable advice on medicine and everyday life. In 2003, Frank Kaiser, the founder of the site and the author of the sensational essay, recalled: “I wrote this text in 2000, but a year ago he began to return to me by e -mail signed by Andy Runi ... I wrote to him, joked about this, and he called me. You know, on the phone it is as grumpy as on the air. ”
It should be noted that the original Kaiser essay called in Praise of Older Women does not verbatize with viral texts in English and Russian. It contains some thoughts that are absent in publications in social networks, and vice versa.
Thus, the viral text was first posted on the American site more than two decades ago. Soon, in the English -language segment of the Internet, his slightly changed version began to be unreasonably attributed to the popular TV presenter in the United States, and only in 2014 the transfer began to diverge on the rune signed by Nagiyev.
