The Kremlin media spread the message that the popular Russian showman, former Channel One presenter Dmitry Nagiyev donated a multi-million dollar sum to support the so-called SVO. Moskovsky Komsomolets wrote :
“Russian theater and film actor Dmitry Nagiyev donated 200 million rubles to support the SVO.
According to military analyst Yakov Kedmi, this was announced on social networks by the director of the puppet theater Boris Konstantinov. The actor himself does not advertise his actions.
The information channel of the Moscow government "Moscow 24" on its page on the social network VK reports :
“? Dmitry Nagiev donated 200 million to support the NWO? The showman did not advertise his help anywhere, but they wrote about it on social networks.
? Good deeds love silence, don’t they?”
Rossiyskaya Gazeta, Arguments and Facts and others also write about this. "Rossiyskaya Gazeta" added to this the assertion that Boris Grebenshchikov "bragged that he collected 12 million euros at a concert in Germany, which he donated to support the Armed Forces of Ukraine." This was picked up by Komsomolskaya Pravda, Regnum, Tsargrad and many others. But this is a long- exposed fake that appeared back in June.
RuPosters published a screenshot of a Facebook post allegedly on behalf of the chief director of the Obraztsov Puppet Theater Boris Konstantinov, which refers to a certain showman Dima without a last name. According to the Israeli military analyst Yakov Kedmi, a regular guest of Vladimir Solovyov's talk show, Nagiyev is meant. The screenshot is blurry for some reason, but it is easy to see that the avatar of the author of the post is completely different from the director Konstantinov.
Moreover, a user named Boris Konstantinov, who would have such an avatar, was not found on Facebook at all.
A few hours after the appearance of these publications, Nagiyev himself answered them, stating that he heard about all this, as well as about director Konstantinov, for the first time:
“Thanks to this day that I found out about the existence of this wonderful director. When I see such an amount of money in millions, I will definitely inform you about it.
We must pay tribute to Moskovsky Komsomolets: he promptly reported Nagiyev’s refutation, adding that, according to the press service of the Obraztsov Theater, Konstantinov does not maintain pages on social networks at all. Some other media, including Rossiyskaya Gazeta and Argumenty i Fakty, also wrote about it. But they are in no hurry to refute the fake about Grebenshchikov.
