Remember that great article “by Zakharchenko”?

Well, this is the email I just got from a friend:

Zakharchenko is a smart man and does see the big picture but he has nothing to do with that article. Its author is Eduard Birov (who blogs as “Russkiy Malchik” here: http://russkiy-malchik.livejournal.com/). The other publication simply reposted Birov’s article and added Zakharchenko’s photo.

Birov has been writing a lot in this vein in the last several months. He is also published at TASS-Analitika; a recent example:

I checked. He is right.

The original publication at for FortRuss points to this page:

http://politikus.ru/1/U/articles/41534-kogda-budet-dan-prikaz-pora.html#b1674fe6-ee25-6904-b07b-7fb63e01cc03

Which has a huge photo of Zakharchenko and, at the very bottom, this:

Can you see the tiny line in gray next to the red dot (which I added)?

It points to this page: http://russkiy-malchik.livejournal.com/574917.html

Which is the live journal of the real author of this article. Not Zakharchenko.

Oops.

Sorry guys. Call me an idiot and I won’t argue.

Cheers,

 

The Saker
