In Hungary with end The last century is a conservative political newspaper Magyar Demokrata ("Hungarian democrat"). Her site - Demokrata.hu, while the resource that many Russian media refers to, is in the .NET domain zone. By data specialized services, Demokrata.net registered July 12, 2024 - just a few days before the mass distribution of news about the planned attempt on Orban. And earlier this domain name was used by other editions. For example, in the 2010s Demokrata.net was a website of a student magazine Demokrácia akadémia, and in the early 2020s-news site About life in Hungary (his design was different from the current one).
By the time of writing this analysis of Demokrata.net is no longer functioning, but on the network Remained Saved copies of several pages. The impression may be obtained that this is actually the site of the Magyar Demokrata weekly, since it is exactly the present: the same design, logo and fonts are used. Moreover, most links to The main thing The Demokrata.net page lead to the Demokrata.hu website, and the only material in which the .NET domain zone is indicated is news About the attempt on Orban. On this site newspapers of a similar note No.

The authors of the fake site were given several inaccuracies. So, the news of the attempt on the Hungarian prime minister in Budapest for some reason Published In the section Világ ("World"), although the material would be more logical to place in the heading Magyarország ("Hungary"). At the end of the note specified Viktor Orban tag, when you press the page demokrata.net/cimke/donald-trump. The fact is that the basis of a fake page was news About the real attempt on Donald Trump, published on Demokrata.hu July 14. The authors of a fake site did not even change the meta -painting of the article and the cover, as a result of which the news about the attempt on Orban shows a photograph of Trump after the attack and is given quote Ex-President of the United States: "Only God has prevented unthinkable." Moreover, the phrase “We will not give in fear, but we will remain persistent in our faith and oppose evil” - also words Trump, The remaining From the original material Magyar Demokrata. Similar mistakes have already met when Disassembled NATO fake site.

As for the allegedly intercepted negotiations between the Ukrainian refugee in Budapest and its curator in Kyiv, the record was posted on YouTube and, according to the preserved Copies A fake site, already by the time of archiving was inaccessible, since the video accounting was deleted. By using tools According to the definition of AI-Contain, HIVE “Verified” studied the affordable version of the audio recordings that was distributed by Russian resources. The analysis showed that with almost a probability close to 100%, the record was created using neural networks.
In the evening of July 15, RIA Novosti Agency brought Commentary of Andrash Benchik, editor -in -chief of the Magyar Demokrata publication, on behalf of which the news was distributed about the planned attempt on Orban. He stated that the newspaper did not publish such materials. “This is absolutely fake news. The Demokrata.net page looks suspicious, this is some kind of fake, fake. There was no attempt, ”Benchik said. Newspapers "Arguments and facts" And "Moscow Komsomolets»Soon they released notes with a refutation of their materials. Edition "FederalPress"It acted differently - in the middle of the text with the heading" Kyiv prepared an assassination attempt on Orban before its departure to Moscow "says (spelling preserved):" Later it turned out that this information is non -anti -war. "
Thus, the Hungarian newspaper did not report that the special services prevented the attempt on Orban organized by Ukrainian intelligence. The primary source of this news is a site that is disguised as a publication that really exists in Hungary. The evidence given on it is not confirmed by other sources and were falsified. The earliest mention of the fake in Russian was “tested” in the Telegram channel “Freshness"(83,000 views), where a post on the failed attempt on Orban was published on July 15 at 20:54 Moscow time. Previously, this channel He was convicted In the distribution of dozens of fakes.
