A fake news article that surpasses all precedents (and imagination) was published for a few hours on Saturday by Russian state media, before it was finally deleted.
- LIVE: First day of negotiations started with explosions. Russia's military operation in Ukraine ushered in a new era - and in three dimensions at once. And of course, in the fourth, Russia's internal one. Here begins a new period both in ideology and in the very model of our socio-economic system - but this is worth talking about separately a little later,"[/I] the essay stresses, among other things.[/P]
What the article says
"Russia is restoring its unity - the tragedy of 1991, this terrible catastrophe in our history, its unnatural dislocation, has been overcome. Yes, at great cost, yes, through the tragic events of a virtual civil war, because now brothers, separated because they belong to the Russian and Ukrainian armies, are still shooting at each other, but there will be no more Ukraine as anti-Russia. Russia is restoring its historical completeness by gathering the Russian world, the Russian people together - in its entirety of Great Russians, Belarusians and Little Russians. If we had abandoned this, if we had allowed the temporary division to prevail for centuries, then we would not only have betrayed the memory of our ancestors, but we would also be cursed by our descendants for having allowed the break-up of the Russian land," it is further noted.
"Vladimir Putin assumed, without a drop of exaggeration, a historic responsibility by deciding not to leave the solution of the Ukrainian issue to future generations. After all, the need to resolve it would always remain the main problem for Russia - for two main reasons. And the issue of national security, namely the creation of an anti-Russian by Ukraine and an outpost for the West to put pressure on us, is only the second most important among them," the essay adds.
The article was removed
This particular event was referred to via a post on Twitter by renowned Sovietologist Anna Applebaum.
"The removed article begins by saying that "a new world is being born before our eyes." It talks about reversing the disaster of 1991 by uniting Russia, Belarus and Ukraine into a single country. And this should have been done yesterday. But it didn't happen."
This essay was apparently written under the assumption that the Russian Armed Forces would have occupied Kiev and subdued the country. However, this did not happen. Therefore, the state news agency deleted this article and it is as if this plan was never published.
