Russians have passed off a fake photo of Russian actor and presenter Dmitry Nagiyev, who allegedly became a Putinist and supported the Kremlin’s bloody policy, as reality.
Propagandists posted a photo of Nagiyev in Telegram, where he poses against the background of a car with the letter “Z” in the colors of the St. George’s ribbon glued to its glass. This was the symbol that the occupiers applied to the equipment during the invasion of Ukraine. The caption under the shot was also unusual for the showman: “A strong country needs a strong president.”
The director of the showman caught the propagandists in a lie. She assured me that Nagiyev only has Instagram and publishes all her photos there. The frame that Russians have replicated, he did not do; that is, the photo is a fake.
“I have not seen such a photo of the artist. Dmitry has the only official account on Instagram; there is no more of him on social networks anywhere, and this photo is not there. This is some kind of fake,” the statement reads.
Dmitry Nagiyev did not support the Kremlin’s policy and made it clear in every possible way that he was against a full-scale invasion.
