In July 2024, a screenshot of the petition appeared on the network about the assignment of the Armed Forces of the Armed Forces, into which the Azov regiment was transformed, the name of the recently murdered ex-deputy of the Verkhovna Rada. We checked the reliability of this news.

It is argued that the petition of the assignment of the 3rd assault brigade of the Irina Farion of the Armed Forces was published on the website of the President of Ukraine on July 20, 2024, the day after attempts on a philologist and ex-deputy of the Ukrainian parliament. Posts with the corresponding screenshot appeared in Telegram channels "Uncle Glory"(188,000 views at the time of writing this analysis),"Ukraine.ru"(114 000),"Cat Kostyan"(90 000),"Oleg Tsarev"(85,000) and"Release Kraken!"(75,000). The initiative to name the Ukrainian military unit was written by the name Farion "Gazeta.ru" And Lenta.ruas well as users "VKontakte","Zen" And Livejournal.

July 19, 2024, Irina Farion, former deputy of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, was committed attempt: The man shot in politics when she left the entrance of his house in Lviv. Farion was hospitalized in critical condition with a gunshot wound of the head and, despite the efforts of the doctors, died later on the same day. July 25 President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky reportedthat the police detained the suspect-an 18-year-old resident of the Dnieper. Soon It became known And his name is Vyacheslav Zinchenko.

The deputy head of the National Police of Ukraine Andrei Nibitov, who personally communicated with the detainee, Described He as a “absolutely pro -Ukrainian” person, who “believes that there is no need to share Ukrainian society.” Talking about the results of the investigation, the Minister of Internal Affairs Igor Klimenko noted that the three main motives are considered: "possible Russian trace, social activity [Pharion] and personal hostility." “We study the suspect’s connections both in Ukraine and abroad.

A few days after the death of Farion and shortly before the detention of Zinchenko in the Telegram channel associated with the neo-nazi group of National-Socialism / White Power (NS / WP) was published "Manifesto" of a person who took responsibility for attempted attempt. In the post, it is called the autonomous ally of the organization, and Farion is characterized in the "manifesto" as "pest and racial traitor." SBU considers NS/WP a Russian group, while in the Russian Federation it was back in 2021 announced terrorist, and in 2022 They accused In preparing an attempt on TV presenter Vladimir Solovyov by order of Ukrainian special services.

In the same post was Published The video, which allegedly captures the moment of the murder of Farion. Media Compared This video with shots from the scene and found coinciding cars.

At the same time, the author of the video announced his support for the Armed Forces. “I can’t talk separately about the military. First of all, I want to thank all warriors for the defense of Ukraine. I'm not going to bother you, but, on the contrary, I try for your good. While you are struggling with an external enemy, I struggle with the inner, ”the video says.

Farion, who in 2012-2014 was a deputy of the Verkhovna Rada, as well as almost 30 years Teach At the Department of the Ukrainian Language in the "Lviv Polytechnic", known for its radical nationalist statements. In November 2023, the philologist criticized the Ukrainian military, in particular employees in the 3rd assault brigade of the Armed Forces (until January 2023- Azov regiment), for the use of the Russian language. “I cannot call them Ukrainians if they do not speak Ukrainian. Let themselves call themselves Russians. Why are they so crazy? " - She said Farion in an interview with the Ukrainian Fifth Canal. In her Telegram channel she Addedthat such "Moscow bulls dishonor the Armed Forces of Ukraine." After these statements of the SBU Beginning The investigation against Farion under four articles of the Criminal Code of Ukraine, and the Lviv Polytechnic fired it from the position of professor.

Ex-commander of Azov, and now the deputy commander of the 3rd assault brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Maxim Zorin answered On the accusations of the philologist: “Attention! The first post in Russian in this channel! Especially for Irina Farion. No one gave you the right to open your mouth towards the Azov fighters, the 3rd assault or any other unit of the Ukrainian army. Therefore, just go to ** th! " The Ukrainian military added: “It is long to pay attention to law enforcement agencies to pay attention to the activities of this ended P *** s, which is reducing the Ukrainian Society for Feesbashniye Workers.” On the day of death, Farion, commander of the 3rd assault brigade and former Azovets Dmitry Kukharchuk wrote In Telegram: “Such as it, who without a shadow of sadness uses the national idea in their interests, does not even deserve to remember their names, not to mention sympathy. There can be no compassion for the enemy. The enemy destroyed and continues to destroy entire generations of Ukrainians, and it is an unconditional component of enemy propaganda. ”

Due to the public conflict between the fighters of the 3rd assault brigade and Farion, the proposal to name the unit with its name looks absurd. The authors of Telegram channels, nevertheless told about the petition, accompanied the news with comments like “more humiliation and not to come up with” and “this is the same as if a detachment of Lenin’s bodyguards asked him to appropriate a name Fanny Kaplan".

In the posts with a screenshot in Telegram there is no link to the petition itself site President of Ukraine. We checked the number 22/264840-UP given in the viral image with the register of published appeals-it was not possible to find such a petition. In addition, the latter at the time of writing this analysis was an appeal on the website of the President of Ukraine registered Under the number 22/231324-EP, which is much less than the number of the petition about the assignment of the 3rd assault brigade of the Armed Forces of the Armed Forces named after the Farion. Search on the corresponding section of the site by the names of the murdered philologist and the alleged author of the appeal Oleg Zhurban also did not give any results.

The earliest post with a screenshot that managed to find "verified" appeared in the pro-Russian Telegram channel "Cat Kostyan»At 10:36 pm Moscow time on July 20, 2024, that is, the day after the murder of Farion. This is not the first time that the channels supporting the Kremlin dissolve information about non -existent petitions created on the website of the President of Ukraine. So, at the end of June 2024 there supposedly appeared The proposal to rename Anna Akhmatova Street in Kyiv in honor of the driver who hit Nine people in Blagoveshchensk. News about this petition refuted Facts from the Ukrainian project "ґvara Medіa". And the authors have been "verified" more than once Delassed fakes, distributed "Kostyan cat."

Thus, the petitions for the assignment of the 3rd assault brigade of the Irina Farion do not exist. Apparently, the authors of Fake created a screenshot of the page from the electronic petition website in a graphic editor.
