Facel is required. How Russian propaganda has been issuing its fakes for announcements from Ukraine and Western countries for two years

From the end of 2022, the pro-Kremlin Telegram channels regularly publish photos of stands and boards, on which Ukrainian institutions and departments allegedly post their ads. Many of them look mad: that veterinary clinic calls not to call dogs the name of Tuzik (so as not to be “katsap”), then the rector of the university forbids students to use the word “Russia” in the works. In the same channels, unusual ads appear, which are allegedly placed in the USA and European countries. “Verified” tells how the same boards with different announcements have been “traveling” around the world for at least two years - and along the pro -Kremlin resources.

Soon after the beginning of the full -scale invasion of the Russian Army, the Internet, and for the most part its Russian -speaking segment, swept over a wave of new false narratives that did not end in any way, which somehow discredit Ukraine and its inhabitants, as well as the Western countries. Often, misinformation spreads through false content designed to prove its truthfulness. For example, “verified” has already talked many times about fake graffitiwho supposedly constantly draw on the streets of different cities around the world, about false siteswhere they write about the non -existent purchases of the Ukrainian president Vladimir Zelensky, his relatives and close ones, about the fake covers foreign satirical magazines, on falsified Videos with logos of authoritative foreign media and about altered Ukrainian criminal reports. Sometimes these methods are used together - for example, in an attempt to denigrate International Olympic Committee or Olympics in Paris. The goal of most of these fakes is transparent: to expose the Ukrainian leadership incompetent and corrupt, residents of the country - near, Europeans or Americans - tired of the war and its consequences, or even dividing the Kremlin’s position. Usually these are completely invented stories, but it also happens that they are presented through the extrapolation of the opinions of individual pro -Russian activists.

However, almost all of the above groups of fakes are united by one feature: they exist only in digital space. So, the videos are mounted, and the covers are drawn on computers, while the sites recorded to throw misinformation are stored on servers. Although original pictures were often taken to create a photo-button of fake graffiti, the street art itself was added already when editing the image. In this regard, for example, fakes associated with posters, brochures and ads that existed outside the digital space are noticeably different.

Among such stories are recent reports that the inhabitants of Genoa allegedly pasted the greeting posters for Putin's birthday. "Checked" found out: In fact, several dozen of the same type of posters with congratulations to the President of the Russian Federation were hung on the proximal activists that were unredated for this surface, who chose one small area of ​​the Italian city for their campaign. But if in the case of Genoya the posters really hung in the places that were mentioned in publications, then it is impossible to confirm in many other location stories. For example, in recent years, we wrote about misinformation related to ads and leaflets that allegedly hung in Kyiv clinic and in Lviv laboratory, V Library in Hamburg and in Bar in Stuttgart. All these messages were usually built on the basis of the only picture taken in an unidentified place.

Although in most similar cases, against the background of such photographs, one can see the interior details (tables, tiles, doors, etc.), “verified”, noticed two large groups of pictures that could be taken in the same places. One of these groups is photos of a certain cork board, the second is plastic, and in addition to them, any details rarely get into the frame. And if these boards were where, according to the Prochremple Telegram channels, they were posted on announcements, then in two years they could visit various countries and cities.

Cork boards

Below in the chronological sequence there are 13 examples of fakes, which, as we assume, were located on one of two cork boards. We draw this conclusion on the basis of a slightly different coating structure and the presence of a wooden frame in some pictures. It is difficult to say something more specific, since most of the pictures do not see anything except part of the board and fragment of the wall. Note that these are not all possible such publications, but only those that have discovered “verified” since the end of 2022.

1) Advertising in the Lviv laboratory

At the turn of November - December 2022 in Media And social networks The news was encouraged that in the unnamed medical institution Lviv is offered a new service: a DNA test for the absence of Russian genes. The proof was a photo of a brochure attached to a certain cork board. It stated that testing costs 6500 UAH, and the patient will be able to receive a medical certificate that he is a purebred Ukrainian. The earliest found “verified” publication appeared in the Telegram channel ”Urgent and accurately"(1900 views), where the author wrote:" Thanks to Eugene and his relative for the information. "

After dismantling This story, we came to the conclusion that with a high degree of probability of “Muscovite Test” is an invention of an anonymous Internet user. Most likely, someone printed the poster on the computer, hung on the real board of ads in Ukraine or, more likely, installed such a board in another place, took a picture and spread it through Telegram. Then we still did not know that for many months this board would meet in similar publications many times.

2) poster in the Kyiv school

The second case we recorded in early January 2023, when the film began to show in Russia "Cheburashka", Subsequently who has become The cash desk in the entire history of the film distribution in the Russian Federation. Ten days after the premiere in the media and Telegram channels, a photo of the announcement allegedly posted in one of the schools of Kyiv appeared. On the poster, a crossed part of the tape poster with a signature in Ukrainian was shown: “Occupant. If you like Cheburashka, go to your rashka. ” Initially, the picture appeared in the Telegram channel "Sheikh Tamir"(173,000 views), then the channel"South Live"(2000, according to Description, this is the Southern Bureau Solovyov Live ”) specified that the subscriber sent this news to them, and the channel"Urgent and accurately"(23,000) added that the name of the Sender is Dmitry. Later, based on just one photo, Russian resources They saidthat such posters are supposedly hanging in many Kyiv schools.

In the wire segment of Runet, the news was produced by a splash. They wrote about the alleged announcement TASS, "RIA Novosti" Life.ru, URA.RU, "Tsargrad","Arguments and facts" And "Gazeta.ru", As well as many Telegram channels. Among them "Ukraine.ru"(535,000 views),"From the scene"(149,000),"Zlaya Pruf"(134 000), Fox News Russia (119,000), "Cat Kostyan"(116 000) and blog media managers Kristina Partic (50,000), which Heads One of the Russian fake factories.

Back in January 2023, The Insider Factchera They wrotethat there are no traces of such a campaign against Cheburashka in the Ukrainian segment of the Internet. “A photo of the poster given in all publications of the Kremlin media, only one, with erased metadan. It has been published many times, but exclusively on Russian sites and in accounts in social networks of anti -Ukrainian orientation. That is, the campaign is obvious, but not against Cheburashka, but against Ukrainians, supposedly struggling with him, ”the publication concluded.

3) Announcement at the French University

A few weeks later, February 21, 2023, Telegram channel "Shaman Rahu”(2400 views) shared the next photo“ from the subscriber ” - this time from France. The picture allegedly shows an ad on a cork board at a French university, which says: “Dear students! On February 24, the Nexter weapons company will hold the conference "how to send weapons to Ukraine gives an impetus to the sustainable development of France and builds a better future for our children." We draw your attention: the conference will take place at 12:00 in the U209 audience. At the end of the event, you can also register for the internship! ”

Telegram channels were also written about this "South Live"(299,000 views taking into account the repost in the channel"Solovyov"),"Sheikh Tamir"(154,000),"Cat Kostyan"(99,000),"Rita Ebzeeva"(54,000),"Military observer"(52 000) and Pravda.ru (10,000).

In the lower part of the poster are the logos of the Parisian University of PSL and the Higher Normal School (ENS) included in its composition. However, “verified” did not find any traces of the fact that such lectures were held in these institutions.

4) Announcement in the Lithuanian house

In July 2023 in Vilnius Passed NATO summit, and at this time channel "Shaman Rahu”(3600 views) shared a photo allegedly from a subscriber from Lithuania. This time, the text of the ad on the cork blackboard in Lithuanian read: “Dear owners whose windows overlook Gediminas Avenue! Do not approach your windows on July 11 and 12! The Summit’s protection works! ”

This story almost did not interest the owners of large channels - the most popular posts with a picture allegedly taken in Vilnius appeared in "Military observer"(43,000 views) and"ZhS Premium"(11,000). Plings wrote about this in VKontakte (here, here And here).

“Verified” found almost no references to this announcement outside the Runet. One of the rare exceptions - the day after the post of “shaman Rahu” the same photo Laid An anonymous user of the Lithuanian site Ldiena, but even there one of the commentators wrote that this is a fake.

5) Board of ads at the American University

In August 2023, a similar board was allegedly photographed already in the United States - judging by the logos on the posters that got into the frame, at the University of the Columbia district. This time, the first photo “from the subscriber” posted the channel ”South Live"(1700 views), and"Shaman Rahu"(3300) posted it an hour later. Then large Russian Media and famous TV presenters, and also Popular Bloggers. A young man who lowered his head is depicted on the ad, and the English text below reports: “How to pay student debts? Join the international defense legion of Ukraine. International volunteer status, medical insurance, monthly payments. ”

"Checked" separately Disassembled This case came to the conclusion that this photo is a fake. The university posted in the background the university laid out in its social networks at different times from September 2022 to March 2023.

6) Memo in the Paris shelter

In the fall of 2023, a photo of a new announcement hanging on a similar board spread. This time, the theme was the invasion of bugs in front of the Olympics in Paris, in which Ukrainian refugees are supposedly to blame. “Dear guests! When checking into our shelter, it is necessary to process all your clothes and luggage with a means of bugs! Without this, we cannot populate you! " - read the text in French and Ukrainian.

The earliest appearance of the picture we noticed in the Telegram channel "Odessa public television z z"(5900 views). Later, the same posts came out in the channels "Alexander Semchenko"(83,000 views),"Bear"(7500) and Zergulio (106,000), where it was added that the photograph was sent to him by Comrade from France.

As in some cases described above, the authors of the posts did not indicate which shelter for refugees are talking about. Earlier in a separate material "verified" toldAs the authors of the fakes created numerous fake photos and videos, designed to prove that France flooded bugs and rats, and the Ukrainian military and refugees brought tuberculosis to the country.

7) Memo at Ukrainian School

At the end of November 2023, a photo of a new announcement was published, which in the posts in Telegram was accompanied by the following description: “Children throughout Ukraine are forced to collect pennies for ZSU. In one of the schools, they even put pressure on the conscience that it is a shame to spend your pocket money on crackers. ” The poster itself was divided into two parts: on top, packaging of crackers and chips, along with coins from the game Fortnite (this was called incorrect pocket expenses), and a QR code for sending donations in favor of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (“correct pocket expenses” is placed below. However, the lower part is crossed out by a ballpoint pen, and next to the hands it is written: “Fu-oo”.

The earliest post with this picture, which was able to find "verified", appeared in the Telegram channel "Pridnztrovets"(25,000 views), and soon the same came out in the channels"Kryminforum 🇿 🇴 🇻"(14,000), Zanoza (8200), ""Bear"(6900) and"Shaman Rahu"(3200). Moreover, in the latter, as in many other similar cases, it is indicated that this is a photo from the subscriber. In VKontakte in public "The Third World War»A similar post gained 38,000 views.

Unlike previous cases, a city was not even indicated here, at the school of which such an announcement supposedly appeared. Ukrainian Media With reference to the opposition center, they reported that the Kremlin bots were distributed in social networks.

8) Another announcement in an unnamed Ukrainian school

The largest number of such reports on the announcements on cork boards were “verified” in December 2023. So, on the wake of the popularity of the series “The Word of the Boil. Blood on asphalt ”(and both in Russia and In Ukraine) At the beginning of the month, Telegram channel "Odessa public television z z”(6100 views) published a photo of a Ukrainian -language announcement with the following text:“ Dear parents! Pay attention! If your child uses the phrases: “Chushpan”, “Eralash”, “Shell”, “Slide”, “Skit”, “Boys do not apologize”, “Porsh, Bugatti and iron. Meet, Moscow”, “Now remember, you are now a kid! You are now from the street, and only for the kids!” The child listens to songs in the Tatar language, which means that he is affected by Russian propaganda. Protect the child from the dangers of the Russian world. ” According to bloggers, the emergence of such an announcement in Ukrainian educational institutions testifies to: "Russian series is more and more popular among Ukrainian children."

Initially, the photo spread only through small channels: "Bear"(12,000 views), Zanoza (10,000) and "Shaman Rahu”(4100, again clarified about the subscriber from Ukraine), but then it was clamped in the larger channels. Among them "Putin in Telegram"(158,000 views),"Release Kraken!"(128 000),"Sheikh Tamir"(120 000),"Bullet"(115 000),"Emergency / Crimea"(98 000) and"Cat Kostyan"(93,000).

And again “verified” did not find any traces of this story outside the Runet.

9) a memo in Ukrainian educational and entertainment institutions

In mid -December 2023, there were reports that Ukrainians cancel Santa Claus. Many such publications were accompanied by one or two photos of memos for Ukrainian animators, who allegedly threatened the fine of 20,000 UAH for the performance of roles of Santa Claus and Snow Maiden and storage of the corresponding costumes. For the first time about this (also with reference to an anonymous subscriber) told the Telegram channel "Freshness"(36,000 views). Its authors added that such ads are distributed in the agencies of Kyiv and Lviv and that Santa Claus is called there, and the Snow Maiden - a prostitute. Moreover, some resources Approvedthat instead of Santa Claus, Santa Claus must be mandatory, although the memo said only about St. Nicholas.

"Checked" then released A full analysis came to the conclusion that there was no official ban on wearing Santa Claus's costume and the use of this image at New Year's events in Ukraine, and a viral photo was a fake.

10) New Year's letters in Ukrainian kindergarten

On the eve of the New Year, several photographs allegedly taken in kindergarten in Ukraine spread. According to Telegram channel "Bear"(7700 views), which was the first to publish pictures, children in such institutions were forced to write New Year's letters addressed to US President Joe Biden. Young Ukrainians, the blogger claims, asked the American leader, for example, the PSA cartridge or the return of his father (probably from the front). At the same time, every form was such an offer in Ukrainian: “And I also ask for weapons for our dads and money to support our mothers.”

Similar publications came out in the channels "Sheikh Tamir"(121,000 views),"Blue Z Beard"(31,000) and"Lev Scharan"(16,000), as well as in"VKontakte"And on news sites.

The posts do not say what kind of Ukrainian garden we are talking about. However, in the lower part of one of the pictures, a brochure is visible, on which the advantages of the private kindergarten "Crimean of Ditinism" are called, who is in the north of Kyiv. The press service of this network of educational institutions did not answer the request “verified” about the comment.

11) comic book on the board of ads at the Ukrainian school

At the end of March 2024, Telegram channel "Freshness"(41,000 views) shared a new photo, accompanying it with this signature:" Propaganda of mobilization among schoolchildren and active ridicule of the slope on the boards of announcements in the schools of Ukraine on the eve of April 1. " Moreover, the captured board is noticeable the same wooden frame that is visible in the above pictures from the kindergarten. The photo shows a comic book with such a Ukrainian -language dialogue:
- Dad, who are fools?
- Look, son. Fools run from mobilization. Such fools cannot call themselves Ukrainians.
- I will go to the front as soon as I can. I am Ukrainian and not a fool!

Among other distributors of this photo are Telegram channels "Rosich | Rosich"(100,000 views),"Russia now"(63,000),"Signal"(43,000),"Russia"(31 000),"Metametric"(27,000),"Black square 18+"(27,000),"Reviewer"(18,000) and"Bear"(7800), as well as some news sites.

In none of the publications found, we did not see the instructions of the city or school number, so it is impossible to refute or confirm the presence of such a comic book in the Ukrainian educational institution for certain.

12) Order of the rector of the Kyiv National University (KNU)

In July 2024 in Network And in Russian television They said that the head of KNU forbade students to use the words “Russia”, “Russian” and “Russian” in their works. The proof was then only one photo shot in an unknown place, which allegedly shows paper with KNU seals and the signature of its rector. Initially, the picture was published by the Telegram channel Zanoza (8700 views).

In their analysis "verified" It came To the conclusion that there was never such an order at the university. His authenticity was refuted by the press service of KNU, and the document contains many stylistic inaccuracies and differences in the design compared to other orders of the university. And this is not counting the fact that the picture was distributed by the pro -Khremlin resources, more than once caught in the publications of fakes.

13) Announcement at Lviv National University (LNU)

September 25, 2024 in Media And Telegram channels reported that at the end of the month, students studying philology and literature in LNU will be able to participate in the program of depushions. “Bring a book by Pushkin or any other Russian author to the waste paper and get an automatic test in Ukrainian literature,” the Ukrainian -language announcement from a viral photo said. Initially, the channel wrote about the action Nina Vatt (37,000 views).

"Checked" then found outthat in LNU such a program was not carried out.

Of course, we can allow a situation in which the same pro-Kremlin Telegram channels have subscribers from around the world and cities of Ukraine who photographed approximately the same cork boards with similar premiums and ads of ads. However, if we take into account that about the same resources distributed fake ads from another group of fakes, this probability is even more striving for zero.

Plastic board

In this case, we are dealing with a more specific information stand. Thanks to several pictures from different angles, we know for sure that it is blue-white and that it has at least two horizontal rows and four vertical ones, that is, at least eight ads can be placed there. Over the past year and a half, the pro-Kremlin Telegram channels have been distributed at least eight materials presumably photographed on this board.

1) Changing the curriculum in the Poltava school

In February 2023 in the Telegram channel "South Live" (thanks to repost From the Solovyov channel, the record scored 280,000 views) published a photo of a certain board with announcements that was accompanied by the following text: “From the subscriber:“ The curriculum in the Ukrainian school. From the next month, the number of hours is changing. Less mathematics-more physical education and Polish. It seems that someone is being prepared for work in the fields ”.” Almost simultaneously the same posts laid out channels "Shaman Rahu"(2300 views) and"Sheikh Tamir"(162 000), and in the first they specified that we are talking about a school in Poltava. According to the picture, the director signed an order by which for the 10th grade the number of hours of studying mathematics and the Ukrainian language is reduced, the time of exercise is increased and the Polish language lesson is introduced.

Similar publications appeared in the Telegram channels of the State Duma deputy of the Russian Federation Sergey Mironov (17,000 views), TV presenter Ruslan Ostashko (111,000), "Truthfulness"(249,000),"Ne. Sahar"(227 000),"Z-News | Army 🅉 18+"(201 000),"The first folk"(187 000),"Cat Kostyan"(110,000), in public in"VKontakte", As well as on the website of the publication"Ukraine.ru"And newspapers"Arguments and facts".

FACHECHERS FROM The Insider And "VOKS Ukrainian»We dismantled this viral photo and came to the conclusion that the announcement is fake. For example, instead of the Ukrainian word “Istoria”, the alleged order was used in the alleged order, and the object “Protection of the Fatherland” is also present in the list, although in 2020 it Replaced on the "Protection of Ukraine". You can also see the words “Lubenska Zagalno -School School of I -III steps No. (illegitimate: probably 3 or 8. - Ed.) Lubenskoye MISKO for the sake of Poltava Klusti”, but school No. 49 is mentioned in the heading of the Poltava region of such an educational institution. Director Tamara Kobylyanskaya, mentioned in the document, worked at school number 3. In addition, Ukrainian journalists contacted the head of the Department of Education of the Executive Committee of the Lubensky City Council Miroslav Kostenko, who stated that they were not going to change the curriculum.

2) Announcement in a Kyiv school

In March 2023, many times mentioned above Telegram channel "Shaman Rahu"(2400 views) again laid out the photo of the information stand" From the subscriber " - this time allegedly shot in one of the schools of Kyiv. “Dear students of grades 10-12! On Friday (03.24), instead of the fourth and fifth lessons, a solemn meeting of the defenders of Ukraine on the shield. Have warm clothes and cardboard (under his knees) with you. The turnout is required! " - says the text of the announcement in Ukrainian. ApprovedThat so high school students are driven to meet the bodies of the dead soldiers of the Armed Forces.

Similar posts appeared in the channels "Observer"(212 000 views), Voblya (169,000), "What happened?"(109 000), TG Team Russia (82 000), "Info DPR"(60 000) and"Military observer"(55 000).

It is difficult to refute this message formally and, according to all the rules, since there is no school number, nor nor teachers, or even more so the addresses in the ad. However, students of the 12th grade are mentioned in the text. Although about the project of 12-year training in Ukraine They say For a long time, in the reality of 12 grades in the country, there is no yet. Full transition to a new system Planned Only in 2027, and children who will study 12 years went to school only in September 2018.

3) Social advertising in the New York metro

In April in Russian Media And social networks The photo allegedly taken in the subway of New York was dispersed. The English -language text on the announcement reported: “Tired of living on a manual? Enter the international legion of territorial defense of Ukraine. The status of an international volunteer, medical insurance, salary monthly. ” In the lower part of the sheet, the phone was indicated for communication.

"Verified" made a separate one analysis This statement came to the conclusion that the viral poster is a fake. According to our data, the first time was published by the Telegram channel "South Live"(2500 views).

4) Board of ads in the Ukrainian student dormitory

In August 2023, Telegram channel Zanoza (15,000 views) said that yesterday’s Ukrainian schoolchildren are lured into assault brigades using an announcement placed in one of the hostels: “Enter the 225th separate assault battalion of the Ground Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. If you are a patriot, you see the strength to defend our country, you like to play in CS: GO, Valorant and Fortnite - write, you need! ” At the same time, the channel "South Live"(2000 views) again clarified that an anonymous subscriber sent a picture.

Telegram channels also shared this photo Zergulio (162,000 views), "Sheikh Tamir"(136 000),"Rita Ebzeeva"(110 000),"Petya the first"(80 000),"Military observer"(50,000),"Russia 🇷🇺 Live"(45,000) and"Shaman Rahu"(3600). They talked about this announcement on other sites, among which "VKontakte" And "Zen".

“Verified” found such an announcement only on the pro -Kremlin resources, and the same photo is everywhere. Although the design of the advertisement for entry into the 225th OSB is similar to design real posters and there are real contacts, the font in the upper part of the poster differs from the fact that used In genuine ads. In addition, the fact that the APU used the old in their advertisement is doubtful Screenshot With terrorists from the game Counter-Strike.

5) Again an ad in a Kyiv school

In September 2023, the same Telegram channel Zanoza (8300 views) shared a photograph allegedly taken in a “typical Ukrainian school”. “Ukrainian children learn separately from non -Children's. Russians and other children were driven to the "G" class. Pay attention to the surname. The city of Kyiv, ”the post said. Over the next minute, the same publications came out in the channels "Shaman Rahu"(3100 views) and Zergulio (105,000) - both stated that the subscriber sent the picture.

Among other channels who told about the photo, we will highlight Voblya (146,000 views), "Sheikh Tamir"(125,000),"Pavel Onishchenko"(17,000),"Bear"(6800) and"Odessa public television z z"(6200).

According to the above posts, these lists are posted in one of the Kyiv schools, but her number is not mentioned in any of those publications. The “verified” managed to find the distributed photo only on the pro -Kremlin resources, and we did not find information about three class teachers whose names at the beginning of the lists. It is noteworthy that, according to the picture distributors, a girl named Vasilieva is considered a Ukrainian, and a boy by the name of Vasiliev is Russian.

6) Memo at the Ukrainian veterinary clinic

In November 2023, Telegram channel "Sheikh Tamir”(125,000 views) wrote that the veterinary clinic in the unnamed city of Ukraine advises what nicknames to give pets to be truly Ukrainian. A few seconds later the channel "Shaman Rahu"(6600 views) issued the same publication with the note" from the subscriber. " A photo of the poster was attached to the posts, where the names of the Bobik, Tuzik and Barsik were discharged, as well as a cat, as if speaking in Ukrainian: “Mistress, I do not want to be a katsap! I want to be a Ukrainian! " The following is a list of the best names for a “real Ukrainian dog or cat”:
“The cartridge is a classic nickname 2022–2023;
Javelin and Javelin (JJ) - sounds proudly and menacingly;
Stagon - for dogs and cats with a combat character;
Ghost or pilot - for the fastest dogs and cats;
Boris, Duda, Joe - to perpetuate the memory of the immediate friends of Ukraine;
Stepan-for dogs and patriots. "

Among other pictures, channels of the TV presenter were distributed Olesya Loseva (25,000 views), "Uncle Glory"(196 000),"Kirill Fedorov / War History Weapons"(182 000),"Cat Kostyan"(95,000),"True Russia"(59,000) and"Talipov 𝐎𝐧𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞"(55 000). In addition, the picture is found on VKontakte (examples here, here, here And here) and on some sites (for example, on "Morning South").

As in previous cases, “verified” did not find this photo outside of the pro -Kremlin resources, where neither the city, nor the name or logo of the veterinary clinic network is indicated, and also the address of the institution is not given, where, allegedly, the announcement was hung.

7) Announcement in a Ukrainian boarding school

In December 2023, Telegram channel "Bear"(5900 views) wrote that orphans from the Ivano-Frankivsky boarding school, which will soon turn or have already turned 18, are invited to a conversation with TCC employees. At this meeting with adolescents, they will allegedly conclude contracts for service in the Armed Forces of Ukraine. A few minutes later, almost simultaneously, the channels reported this "Sheikh Tamir"(127,000 views) and"Shaman Rahu"(4000). As evidence, a photo of the poster is given, where it is written: “Attention! On December 29, 2023, the instructors of the Ivano-Frankivsk city Central Committee and SP will conduct an explanatory conversation with men 17-18 years old. All wards of 2004 and 2005, which passed the military medical commission, will be able to conclude a contract on the spot. The meeting will be held in the assembly hall at 12:30. The presence is mandatory. "

The photo also posted the channels of the TV presenter Olesya Loseva (13,000 views), Voblya (154,000) and "Alexander Semchenko"(89,000). In some channels, once again notedthat the news to the bot was sent by an anonymous subscriber.

The upper part of the announcement indicates the name of the institution-Ivano-Frankivskaya general secondary boarding school for orphans, and also shows coat of arms Ivano-Frankivsk region. According to Google Maps And local sites, such an educational institution in Ukraine really is. However, doubts about the authenticity of the ads arise due to several errors. For example, it says “Central Committee and SP”, and not “TCC and SP” (the territorial center of completing and social support is an analogue of the Russian military registration and enlistment office), although in Ukrainian -language publications Accepted Use the full abbreviation, even if we are talking about the establishment in a particular settlement.

The mentioned age of the wards also raises questions: most people born in 2004-2005, at the end of December 2023, were already 18-19 years old, and 17-18-year-old adolescents were allegedly called for the conversation. “Verified” called this school, and we were informed that they did not have students at the age of 17-18 at all. Younger children with autistic spectrum disorders go to school, so such an ad could not appear there. In addition, according to the official site Institutions, in 2016, it became the Ivano-Frankivsk educational-rehabilitation center, and from the 2022th-the Ivano-Frankivsk special school.

8) Board of shame in the Odessa supermarket

In March 2024, Telegram channel "Alchevskoy news"(9800 views) said that in one of the Odessa stores on the shame board, along with the photo of the thieves, a portrait of Vladimir Zelensky was hanged. A photograph of the board itself is also given, where it is written: "They steal with us."

This story, unlike the previous ones, passed almost unnoticed. So, channels wrote about her "ZhS Premium"(13,000 views),"Bear"(4000)," "Yellow plums"(2900) and smaller. There is a photo and in "VKontakte". It is noteworthy that on versions A picture of the Alchevsk News posted a barely noticeable inscription "ICPA Petushara." Apparently, the author had in mind the information center Perevalsk - Alchevsk and added a wrecking in case the photo was copied. However, in other publications there is no inscription - this suggests that the photo was distributed from at least two sources.

In this case, neither the address of the supermarket or the name of the network was again indicated, therefore, in separation from the rest of the similar messages about the fake of the picture, only the fact that only the pro -Kremlin resources were distributed.

Messages about the alleged announcement in the Odessa supermarket were also dismantled by our colleagues from "VOKS Ukrainian". Ukrainian facts suggested: the blue color of the board indicates that it could be posted in the network of ATB stores. Journalists even turned to the representatives of the retailer with a request to comment on the story and received the answer that the placement of such a picture in their stores is impossible.

In fact, the blue element of this board is in all the pictures we have given above, allegedly taken in the Odessa supermarket, schools of Kyiv and Poltava, Ivano-Frankivsk boarding, Ukrainian student hostel and Vetnklinic, as well as in the New York metro. It is likely that they were all shot in the office of one of the Russian fake factories. In September 2023, the publication "Important Stories" Conducted an example Such a non -prepared creation of fakes. Journalists studied the photo of the anti -Ukrainian leaflet allegedly posted in Germany, and found out that in fact it was done by the office close to the Kremlin of the Non -profit organization Dialog, which is developing propaganda content.

Bonus

We also found one example that is slightly knocked out of the general scheme. In May 2024, a photo of the ad of the Dnieper was encircled. Then Telegram channel "Freshness”(36,000 views) said that the Dnipropetrovsk diesel locomotive plant requires a locksmith, turner and blacksmith, and they invite women from 18 to 60 to these vacancies. It is also supposedly possible to employ minor teenagers. “Apparently, they decided to immediately weed out men, because they are still mobilizing,” the author of Freshness concludes.

Similar posts came out in Telegram channels "Two major"(206,000 views), Alex Parker Returns (103,000), "Cat Kostyan"(87 000),"Federation"(62 000),"Kovpak detachment"(28,000),"Belousov Live"(13,000) and"Ukrop Fresh"(6300). The newspaper wrote about the alleged announcement "Arguments and facts"And publication"Ukraine.ru".

These messages were dismantled by the journalists of the Ukrainian edition Telegrafwho turned to the press service of the enterprise. They said that the announcement is fake. “We can still partially consider candidates for the locker of the locksmith for the repair of rolling stock. But the blacksmiths on the hammers - definitely not. These are physically difficult specialties, women simply will not receive good from doctors with a mandatory inspection before enrolling in the staff, ”the factory’s personnel department noted. The personnel officers added that the factory does not yet have such an acute shortage of workers to take women for heavy vacancies. FACECHERS from "Ґvara Medіa", In turn, found out that the authors of the fake edited a real announcement, where women and adolescents are not mentioned.

It was “verified” this case interested, because the photo shows that a fake announcement is in the transparent pocket of the information stand, which in design resembles a blue-white plastic board. However, this time the pocket is attached either to the tree or to the cardboard sheet.

Response for ads

If you try jokingly describing the situation in which the authors of these fakes found themselves, then fans of philosophy and literature can be seen in them. On the one hand, these people seemed to be guided by a quote from Nietzsche about a person who looked for a long time into the abyss, on the other hand, Brodsky’s poem “Don’t get out of the room ...”. The creators of the pro-Kremlin fakes thought so much and so long about Ukraine and other countries, sitting, probably in the same office space that in a sense they themselves arranged for the institution of Ukraine and other states in their workplace.

To speak seriously, then in the modern information stream in isolation from the overall picture that we described above, the reader is far from immediately and can not easily understand that he has a fake announcement. So, some similar messages indicate quite specific institutions, and somewhere specifics are not given at all. The general group of primary sources is almost always the same grid of pro-Kremlin Telegram channels, which at the same time you need to know in advance and be able to find it. One of the main signs of fake - clarification that an anonymous subscriber sent a picture - is usually found only in resources that placed a fake among the first.

If we give advice on how to distinguish a picture of a fake announcement from the present, then the main one is simple: by default, do not take seriously and not distribute any messages of anonymous Telegram channels based on the photo of any ads, posters and brochures. You can try to first check the authenticity of the statements ourselves Or look analysis On the fact of the Cokening resources. As practice shows, many editors of the Russian media and wire bloggers do not know about this council or intentionally ignore it.

“Verified” expresses gratitude to Roman Nevchinsky for the help in preparing the article.
