Such an exposure Ukrainian political scientist and blogger Vladimir Kornilov made on his social network page, analyzed the stories and photographs from Khortitsa, where Poroshenko several days ago celebrated the “Day of Defender of Ukraine” that he himself had established.
“The people’s love for Poroshenko” was carefully rehearsed. If you remember, the day before yesterday all Ukrainian channels reverently showed footage of grateful Ukrainians shaking Poroshenko’s hand in Khortytsia. Many websites, including the official presidential one, posted photographs of this action. I wouldn’t have paid attention to this photo if it weren’t for the granny in some incredible black cap, who knows how it stays on her head (I don’t know what the photographers wanted to cover up with this cap).” – writes Kornilov.
Next political scientist draws attention to the fact that the ICTV channel also posted video footage of this unity of the people with their defender.”
“And pay attention to the moment of Poroshenko’s handshake with the same grannies. In the first frame there are four grannies, and then suddenly there are two left, there are also other people around them, except for the clearly overacting woman right behind them (apparently, the curator of the imported and dressed up grannies? Makes sure that the props are handed over after filming?). The black cap is completely missing, of course,” writes Vladimir Kornilov further.
“This “spontaneous manifestation of national love” clearly had several takes. At least two, if not more. And what to do? Amusing country, amusing president, amusing love..”, – the political scientist concludes.
