Russian propaganda once again resorted to forging the covers of well-known world publications. This time, the Russians are targeting the German satirical magazine Titanic.
For example, the pro-Kremlin Telegram channels spread a fake cover of the mentioned publication with a caricature of the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyi, who allegedly steals a pumpkin basket with sweets from children on Halloween. The details of this throw-in are below.
Fake
“The German magazine Titanic has prepared for Halloween! “Ukraine is needed!” Zelensky steals sweets from children who dressed up for the holiday,” the propagandists add in their posts in the original language.
However, there is actually no such cover on the publication’s official website. http://surl.li/taioxh
In particular, the October issue of the magazine numbered 4352 was released at the end of September and had a completely different look. http://surl.li/datgpb.
Just like the November issue, which was released on the eve of Halloween. http://surl.li/utojtm
There is no caricature of Volodymyr Zelensky on any of the original covers. By the way, this is not the first time when propagandists fake the cover of Titanic magazine.
We previously exposed the fake cover of the magazine about Zelensky, who was not given candy. http://surl.li/wkdgjz
And also a cover with a caricature mocking Ukraine http://surl.li/hrqmqy and Volodymyr Zelensky, who plays with US money in a bloody slot machine. http://surl.li/fehufo
CONCLUSIONS
Titanic magazine did not publish the October issue with a caricature of Volodymyr Zelenskyi on the cover. Such statements are aimed at the world community and aim to discredit the Ukrainian authorities, spread the narrative that the West has allegedly lost interest in helping Ukraine, and sow doubts about the need for support and assistance to our state.
