"GORDON" made a selection of the loudest fakes of the Russian journalists.

You will not surprise Ukrainians with "The pinned oranges" since 2004. Therefore talks that during the Maidan the neighbor of the friend of the wife of the cousin returned from as the addict because he drank tea in a tent of protesters, was perceived with a snicker. The new wave of ridiculous fakes of the Russian journalists began with Yarosh's business card.

On April 20 the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the published the statement in which it was reported that on the Easter's eve "fighters of the "right sector" attacked a checkpoint in ".

The network blew up with a flow of comments, and in shops smart entrepreneurs began to sell the calendar cards, badges and covers for mobile phones made in the form of "Yarosh's business card" which in the fire doesn't burn, in the water doesn't sink.

No. 2. Yarosh – the president

"The right sector" at the beginning of a year was the main horror story for the Russian citizens. It is not surprising that in May he won presidential elections. Well, at least, so reported "Channel One", referring to a screenshot of the unknown site which reminded the site of the Ukrainian Central Election Commission.

And one circle equals to a kilometer". Information was not buttressed up by facts, but caused an indignation storm in .
