In July 2024, the media and social networks have information that hobbichorsing - driving on a wooden stick with a horse head - was included not only in the list of sports in the Russian Federation, but also in the program of the next Games BRICS. We decided to check if this is so.
July 23, 2024 Telegram channel Shot (376,000 views at the time of writing of the analysis) distributed the news of the appeal that the organization of “Veterans of Russia” sent the Minister of Sports of the Russian Federation Mikhail Degtyarev. Activists said that, according to their information, a meeting of the Ministry of Sports was recently held, where hobbhorsing was officially recognized as a sport. Shot brought quotes from a letter in which the “veterans of Russia” demanded to cancel this decision, since such hobbies, in their opinion, were “aimed at erasing the boundaries between humans and animals and are ultimately destructive for the social structure.” The news of the Telegram channel subsequently reprinted sites Life, "Gazeta.ru", Radio stations"Says Moscow"And the television channel 360. At the same time, the last two media wrote about the inclusion of hobbihorsing in the BRICS Games program as a failed fact. TV channel "Moscow 24"I took a comment on their initiative from Veterans of Russia, and"National News Service" - the Commissioner for the Rights of Children in Tatarstan Irina Volynets (which, however, did not support the idea of the ban).
Hobichorsing is a relatively young sport that children are mostly engaged in. It is an imitation of equestrian sport, only instead of a real horse is a stick with a toy horse's head. In Russia, he appeared in 2019. The country even exists Hobbihorsing Federation, which holds competitions in the disciplines traditional for equestrian sports: jumps, output and showying.
The appeal of “Russian veterans” on the inadmissibility of recognition of hobbihorsing as a sports exists and posted on the official website of the organization.
In their appeal, “Russian veterans” indicate that they learned about the ambiguous decision of the Ministry of Sports Commission from “some sources”. And in the very first paragraph, there is even a hyperlink on the Telegram channel in which this was reported.
The post referred to by the "Veterans of Russia" was published on the evening of July 20 at the Telegram channel "The empire is very evil", Who never hid that most of the news posted in him is not true. This indicated And in the description of the channel: "Written is an artistic fiction, all coincidences are accidental."
But this, however, is not the source of history. "Empire is very evil" reposted the message of the channel "Without spectators", Which appeared on July 18 at 13:42 Moscow time. In the description of the channel It is said: “Sports events that were not there,” and all publications are satirical. For example, the channel has news About the head of the IOC Thomas Bach, who allowed us to participate in the 2024 Olympics only to Russian athletes belonging to the LGBT+community.
Thus, the “veterans of Russia”, and after them, many Russian media took seriously frankly comic news, published in the satirical Telegram channel.
