We checked the reliability of this story.
May 5 Blogger Alexander Makashinets on his YouTube channel released Dismantency of the documentary "Russia. Kremlin. Putin. 25 years ”, shot by Pavel Zarubin and Saida Medvedeva for the Russia 1 TV channel. By the time this text is written video Sicked More than 88,000 views. In the video, Makashenets speaks: “Meanwhile, the“ RT on Russian ”Telegram channel reports that Zarubin was poisoned and tormented with vomiting and diarrhea during the filming. It turned out that the journalist had lactose intolerance, but he was ashamed to inform the president about this. The publication "RT in Russian" will not lie, but for some reason the liberal media are silent about it. " In parallel, the screenshot of the corresponding post is shown.
Soon, the news of the alleged poisoning of Zarubin spread at other sites. For example, such publications are found in Facebook And Telegramwhere the portal "Compromat 1" (36,000 views) Duplicated Note from his own site. On social networks x more than 150,000 views scored tweet Add your name under the nickname (@Pashhamanrus), who wrote: “The level of slavery and lyso -observation is Pavel Zarubin, who was crap after Putin treated him with kefir, which has intolerance to the reptile serpent.” In addition, similar messages have published many Russian -speaking news sites, among which "Power","Consequence","Rus incriminating evidence" Repost, "Rumafia","Chechnya Free.ru","Glavk" And "Antimafia". The authors of some notes added that Zarubin got to the hospital shortly after filming.
One and a half hour film “Russia. Kremlin. Putin. 25 years " Showed On the air of the state television channel "Russia 1" on May 4. “This film is about the president and Russia. A frank conversation with Vladimir Putin about the main and important for the country over the past 25 years, ”says the synopsis of the picture. For this tape, Putin not only gave an interview to Zarubin, but also conducted an excursion to the Kremlin for the TV presenter. For example, the president showed the located there apartment, personal library, simulator hall And home church. This shooting took place on the night of March 26-27, 2025 - a quarter of a century before, Putin first won the presidential elections.
At the beginning of the film politician Offered Treat Zarubin, took him to the kitchen and provided a choice of kefir and a fermented ranger from the refrigerator. The journalist chose the first option. In addition, Putin offered the host of chocolate donated by the President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko, and at the end of the film he gave the guest Try Cranberry with honey.
According to the post from the distributed screenshot, after treats the interviewer became ill. “Journalist Pavel Zarubin poisoned during the filming of the film about Vladimir Putin. According to the source from the AP (administration of the President of Russia. - Approx. Ed.), Two hours after lunch with the president, the journalist began vomiting and diarrhea. Later, the details of this scandalous situation became known. The journalist suffers from lactose intolerance, but he was ashamed to inform the president. Therefore, to the question of Vladimir Putin, whether he will try the branded Kremlin pancakes, he [Zarubin] replied with consent. By this moment, the state of the journalist has stabilized, ”the publication of the Telegram channel“ RT in Russian ”says.
In fact, no reputable media wrote about this story, because this did not happen to the Kremlin journalist. The source of the news, indeed, was the Telegram channel “RT in Russian”, but many, apparently, Confused it with a much larger and belonging state media holding "RT in Russian". In turn, “RT in Russian” publishes only invented news, which is directly indicated in his Description: “A parody, satire on political reality. Only proven fakes. Yes, we are SP *** or a description (in another satirical channel "but my Yandex is a wallet". - approx. Ed.)". In this blog, a post on Zarubin's poisoning appeared May 4 at 19:53 Moscow time and scored 12,000 views. Apparently, the author made this entry even before watching the film itself (Premiere took place At 21:00), so there is a quote about pancakes in the post, which was absent on the air. May 6 at RT in Russian Published screenshot of notes on Zarubin's poisoning from the above site Repost And with the signature: "It happens."
However, the words of the McAndis in his video, unlike many other publications, could be regarded precisely as a relay of jokes from “RT in Russian”. In a conversation with the “verified” the blogger said (author's spelling and punctuation saved):
“Of course, I knew that“ RT in Russian ”was a trolling TG channel. I have intellectual spectators and shoot all jokes, so out of respect for them I do not say: "Here you have to laugh." Although everything is obvious from the text in the video. There I say: "The publication" RT in Russian "will not lie, but the liberal media for some reason are silent about this." I categorically reject reproaches in misinformation! It seems to me that it will be extremely objectively if the descendants remember Paul not by his dull reports About the dexterous Putin and pencil, and for this post: the parquet journalist Zarubin could not refuse Putin, drank kefir - and was crap. ”
In several remnants to the tweet of the above user, the X @pashmanrus social network also wrote that the news of Zarubin’s poisoning published an “analogue” of the satirical publication ”Panorama". However, these comments did not bother the blogger, and in response he He asked: "What does it change?" “No“ panorama ”will cancel Zarubin’s reptile” - declared @Pashhamanrus, whose tweet at the time of writing this analysis continues to gain thousands of views without any clarification about the origin of information.
Thus, the news that Pavel Zarubin was poisoned during the filming of a documentary about Vladimir Putin originally appeared in a satirical Telegram channel. Then the post was quoted by the blogger Alexander Makashenets, who, according to him, retold the publication as a comic one. Subsequently, other users perceived the fable for the real event and continued to distribute it on other sites.
