In April 2025, a video was encouraged on the Web, which allegedly captures the escape of Ukrainian men from military commissars. It is reported that this happened immediately after the believers consecrated Easter Easter cakes in the temple. We checked what is actually happening on this entry.
April 21, the video was shown in ether "Channel One." News Holder Maxim Sharafutdinov so Commented What is happening on the video: “Employees of the TCC [and joint venture] (territorial center for completing and social support, an analogue of the military registration and enlistment office in Ukraine. - Approx. Ed.), For which there has long been nothing saint, was on duty among temples. They knew where the most people would be. Here is just one of the episodes. The parishioners came to consecrate the Easter cakes. But on the territory of the church they were already waiting for them. Men run scattering. Instead of the holiday, I had to escape from people in uniform. ” Edition "Ukraine.ru»In its Telegram channel (155,000 views at the time of writing this analysis) clarified that the arrival of Teskashnikov" Eyewitnesses allegedly reported. Similar notes were released by other Russian media, among which "Arguments and facts","Gazeta.ru" Life.ru, Lenta.ru And "Evening Moscow".
The video was widely dispersed in social networks. For example, they were shared by Telegram channels "The world today with "Yuri Podolyak""(1.6 million)," "KB"(247,000),"Two major"(215 000),"Observer"(192 000),"Uncle Glory"(180 000),"Fisherman"(168 000), Voblya (128 000), Rus_criminal (108,000), "Bladsiker 2.0"(104 000),"Petya the first"(88 000),"Tsargrad - T"(81 000), Borisenko Dmitriy (58,000), "Special operation z"(55,000),"Notepad Russia 18+"(50,000), Nina Vatt (32,000) and Rogandar News (32,000). Similar posts are also found on VKontakte (examples here, here, here, here And here) And X.
On a 12-second video distributed, it really shows how several men (at least seven) run out of church bells at once from the temple, holding baskets, in which, presumably, there are cakes and Easter eggs. However, the details of the video and the actions of the people captured on it are forced to doubt that they ran away from someone.
For example, people in military uniforms, allegedly interrupting Easter service, did not get into the frame. In the video, it is also not heard that one of those present mentioned the appearance of representatives of the TCC. A person behind the scenes (perhaps this is the vote of the author of the video) in Ukrainian only says: “Everyone runs to eat Easter cakes. They insisted, hungry, scored there are Easter cakes. ” Among these runners are people of different ages, and not all men broke out of place. Finally, it is not clear why every man supposedly escaping from the employees of TCC took a basket with him, without which it would be more convenient and faster to move. The cakes consecrated in the temple could take with them, for example, their relatives.
Almost in none of the publications mentioned at the beginning of this analysis, it was not specified where exactly the viral video was shot. Telegram channel "Ukraine.ru"Wrote that the recording was made somewhere in the Ivano-Frankivsk region of Ukraine. In the social network X, in turn, is popular tweet The user is Russian imperative (210,000 views), according to which the incident even occurred in St. Petersburg. However, almost an hour later he left such Remember (26,000): “Ah, damn it, this is not in St. Petersburg itself, but 2000 km from him in Kyiv. Who cares".
All similar posts were given a video with the same tank, which indicates the name of the Ukrainian Telegram channel “Pershey Poliky”. There is a video appeared April 20 at 20:21 Moscow time, it could not find earlier publications. The post specified that the recording was made in Kolomi -City in the Ivano-Frankivsk region. We studied the panoramas of this city in the Google Street View service, but could not establish which temple is captured in the video. It is possible that he is in one of the nearby villages.
Kolomyia is located in the west of Ukraine. How Explain The factor from the Stopfake project, in this region (mainly in Transcarpathia) their Easter traditions are common. One of them is the so -called Easter distillations: In the morning after the service, local believers quickly seek to get home, sometimes just running away from the temple. Countsthat the one who comes running first will be accompanied by well -being on the farm, and if there is a bride or groom in the house, then she or he will certainly find a couple. About such a Ukrainian tradition in the comments Under the video They remembered Users different social networks.
Stopfake calls viral posts about this video "part of the information campaign of the Russian Federation aimed at undermining the mobilization campaign in Ukraine." The Countering Center for Disinformation (CPD) under the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine, commenting on the video, also I paid attentionthat he was massively distributed by Russian sources. Although "verified" repeatedly Disassembled neglected Prochremlin channels fakes On the topic of mobilization in Ukraine, in this case, we cannot fully agree with the conclusion of our Ukrainian colleagues.
At the time of writing this parsing in the above-mentioned Telegram channel “Pershered Political” viral video accompanies Ukrainian -language signature: “Men with all their might ran from the church. What happened there is unknown. ” However, a note in the messenger indicates that the post was edited. Using the TGSTAT service "Tested" found outthat the actual text appeared only on April 20 at 20:30, and initially, 8 minutes earlier, the video was signed as follows: "Men with all their might ran away from the church when people in uniform arrived there." At 20:40 the channel released the second post where It was said: “It turned out that there is a tradition according to which it is believed that the first to bring the crop is the first to bring the Kulich first.”
The authors of some other Ukrainian Telegram channels managed to copy the not yet changed version of the post. For example, the same publications came out at 20:41 simultaneously in the channels "Pentagon | Ukrainian | Pentagon"(15,000),"Gorinich Ukrainian"(13,000),"Pershey OFITSIN"(10,000),"News of Ukraine | Briefly about Golovna"(7600) and"Domino Ukrainian"(5800). Judging by the fact that their description indicates the same contacts for communication, they all enter the same grid. Judging by other posts in these channels, there are no serious reasons to call them pro -Kremlin.
There is a viral video in Telegram channels dedicated to life to Kolomyia. So, "Kolomiya | News "(1800 views) April 20 wroteWhat shows how men run away from the church after the military arrived, and five days later with reference to the CPD declared: There were no raids of TCC, but the Russians launched this fake. In the channel "Kolomiya 24/7 | New"(4,500 views) also shared a viral video, which is now signed as follows:" All the men escaped from the church in the Kolomiy region. " However, the post was edited A few minutes after the publication, and the TGSTAT service in this case does not allow you to see the original version. A similar situation occurred on the Frankivsky Format blog on Instagram: April 20 there laid out The video with the signature of the escape of men from people in uniform, but soon it was updated, telling about the local Easter tradition.
Thus, the viral video is unlikely to capture the escape of men from TCC employees who came to Easter service. People in uniform do not appear in the frame, and the parishioners fled along with the baskets, where, apparently, the consecrated food lay. Most likely, the men participated in the local tradition: they ran a rampant with each other in order to bring the Easter cake before everyone else. The video with a false signature was originally distributed by Ukrainian Telegram channels. Although some of them quickly corrected their posts, misinformation picked up and widely replicated pro -Kromele resources.
