In September 2024, a photo of the announcement was spread in Telegram channels, the authors of which allegedly propose to put the test to students of one of the Ukrainian universities, who passed the book of Pushkin or another Russian writer for processing. We checked the reliability of such posts.
A photograph of an announcement allegedly posted at the Ukrainian University and offering students to participate in the program “Deruskinization”, began to spread on the network on September 25. “Bring a book by Pushkin or any other Russian author to the waste paper and get an automatic test in Ukrainian literature,” the authors of the announcement of students studying literature are addressing. The telegram channels who spread the picture add: “Now it’s enough to hate Russia to receive a diploma of a bachelor of philology.” Some posts specify that the photograph was taken in Lviv.
Telegram told about this such channels as "The world of Mikhail Onufrienko"(229,000 views at the time of writing this analysis)"Cultural"(98 000),"Bullet"(93,000),"Z-News | Army 🅉 18+"(86 000),"Kostyan Cat - Official Channel"(79 000), Fox News Russia (53,000) and "Russians in Telegram"(42 000). A note on this topic also released on the website of the newspaper "Arguments and facts".

The announcement states that the action applies to students of the fourth year of the Bachelor program "Philology (Ukrainian language and literature / literary creativity)." In Lviv, a program with this name There is Only at the Lviv National University (LNU) named after Ivan Franco. Although the press service of this educational institution is actively conducting social networks, there is no news about the alleged action in the official accounts of LNU in Instagram, Facebook And Telegram. There is no this announcement on the official website of the university, and authoritative Ukrainian media did not write about it.
All bloggers who have disseminated information about “deposchkinization” at the University of Lviv use the same photo. The sheet is placed on a cork board, while any distinguishing features that allow you to determine the place of shooting, there are no photos in the photo. At the upper part of the announcement, the date of the action is indicated - September 31, 2024. But in September 30 days, which means that such a date simply does not exist.
The design of the announcement is reminiscent of the one that the press service of LNU usually uses on social networks: design in blue-yellow colors with decorative elements in the form of a traditional ornament. The press center of the LNU also adds the logo of the educational institution to each photograph, which is published on its resources.

According to order The rector of LNU, classes for undergraduate students in the first semester 2024/2025 of the school year are held from September 2 to November 30. Only after that, the educational institution accepts tests. Accordingly, to appoint a promotion for a non -existent on September 31, two months before the session, at least strange.
In the commentary of the factor from the Stopfake project, the press service of LNU reportedThat such promotions were held in the walls of the university: “No such initiatives at the Ivan Franco Lviv National University are being implemented. I will add that students of Lviv University receive any kinds of semester assessment based on the results of academic performance, and not because of participation in doubtful initiatives, ”- explained The head of the press center is Oleg Vivcharyk.
The earliest publication on the announcement discovered "verified", appeared In the pro-Kremlin Telegram channel Nina Vatt (37,000 views) September 25 at 13:44 Moscow time. This channel is repeatedly mentioned In the analysis of "tested" as a disinformation distributor.
Although the announcement of the announcement was falsified in LNU, promotions with the collection of books in Russian for waste paper really took place in Ukraine after the start of a full -scale Russian invasion. For example, the Kyiv municipal bookstore "Shine of Books" in September 2022 Collected Almost 25 tons. In January 2024, a similar campaign Conducted and Vivat Publishing House. As a rule, the authors of such initiatives raise funds for the needs of the army - for example, Vivat promised Spend the money proceeds from the delivery of money for the purchase of a pickup for the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
Thus, LNU did not offer students to receive a test automatically in Ukrainian literature if they pass the book of the Russian writer for waste paper. Messages about this action are not confirmed by any authoritative sources. The only evidence is the announcement photographed in an unknown place, which was first published by the Prochremlin Telegram channel and which contains errors.
