In April 2025, the news dispersed widely in social networks, as if the President of Russia praised the actor nominated at the Oscar and said that he could well play him in the cinema. We checked the authenticity of this quote.
April 4 Community "The most useful public"On VKontakte (1.5 million views at the time of writing this analysis) said: Vladimir Putin expressed a desire that Yura Borisov played his role in the biographical film. Such a quote from the President of the Russian Federation is given: “I am sure that Yuri will be able to convey all the complexity of my character on the screen. He is a talented actor who can deeply plunge into the role and create a reliable image. I would like him to play me in this film. ” At the same time, the post implies that the shooting of Bayopic has already been planned, and Borisov has already been approved for the role of a politician.
However, some publications say that the actor is only Maybe reincarnate in Putin, because received Such a proposal from an unnamed studio. Moreover, there are several different statements of the Russian president. “Yuri has the necessary talent to convey the versatility of my character on the screen. He knows how to get deep into the image and create convincing characters. That is why I consider him an ideal candidate for this role, ”public quotes quoted“Cherry stake"(469,000 views). Group "Cinema premieres 2025 | Films | Series”(54,000 views) shared the following version of the statement:“ Yuri has a rare talent to convey complex characters. I think he will cope with the task. ” Similar posts are found in public "About damn it! - Where is the pancake? - Won damn it!"(862 000 views), Stand Up Rezka (724,000), "This cheerful Russia"(78 000),"You are a chase pancake"(36,000) and others, as well as in Telegram channels (examples here, here And here) And Instagram*.

The authors of these messages did not indicate when and where Putin made such statements. "Verified" studied the resources of federal Russian Media And website The administration of the President of Russia, but did not find such quotes there with praise to Borisov and the desire to play the role of Putin. In the press releases of the Kremlin, Yuri Borisov was regularly mentioned, but not the star of the Oscar-winning film “Anora”, but his namesake and namesake, ex-head of Roscosmos. The preparation for the filming of the biographical film about Putin with Borisov in the title role in authoritative publications was also not reported.
Among hundreds of comments under viral posts there are some statements And assumptionsthat in fact this news is only the April Fools. And indeed: for example, a large public "Come, let's see the movie"(1.3 million views) shared Putin's alleged quote on April 1 at 01:24 Moscow time. After more than 11 hours, a similar post came out in a public "In case of important negotiations”(726,000 views), and there the quote was a little edited - probably the authors arrived so that the platform algorithms considered their content unique.

One would have thought that this is really a joke for a fool day, but the source of this news appeared a few days earlier. Another March 29 post about Putin and Borisov was published in the public "Multi -settlement madness"And scored 146,000 views.

The owners of this community do not hide that they publish fictional stories, which is warned in the description: "All news is taken from alternative realities." Moreover, the original record did not say that Borisov would eventually play Putin, that is, it was added later by other publics.
"Checked" already toldAs a “multi -sized madness” for several months publishes false announcements of the future roles of Borisov. Often, the posts of this public become viral in VKontakte, and sometimes penetrate other resources. So, in the spring of 2024, even before the wave of invented news about Borisov, the authors of this community Lailed the duck About the alleged filming of the Russian adaptation of the series "Supernatural" with Nikita Kologriy and Ivan Yankovsky. It was also distributed by large Telegram channels and even some Russian federal media.
The film about Putin is really Removebut not in Russia. Political thriller "Kremlin wizard»From the director Olivier Assayas is based on the book of the same name by Juliano da Emple and tells about the young television producer Vadim Baranov (supposedthat the prototype of the character was the ex-assistant of the President of the Russian Federation Vladislav Surkov), who, according to the plot, began to work PR PR in the 1990s, when he began his political career. The main character in the film will play Paul Dano, the future Russian president - Jud Law. The shooting has already begun in Riga, and on the network appeared The first photos with the artist in the image of Putin.

Thus, the news that Putin expressed the desire to play Yura Borisov in a biographical film, satirical. She appeared in a relatively small public in VKontakte, which for months placed similar posts about the actor, then was copied by large communities on April 1, and subsequently spread to other groups and went beyond the social network.
