Especially in the social media space. At the time of the mercenary rebellion, surprising news spread on social media that American action star ‘Steven Seagal’ in the 1990s had been nominated as the Russian defense minister.
As a result of fact-checking by Newsweek, an American current affairs magazine, of course (?) it was revealed that it was fake news and disinformation. According to a Newsweek report, a Twitter account following the Russian state-run news agency Sputnik posted a joking message saying, “Steven Seagal is trying to stop an attempt at rebellion by singing John Lennon’s Imagine.” It was revealed that it was expanded and reproduced and hardened into a ‘theory of appointment as Minister of Defense’.
There are also persistent conspiracy theories regarding Prigogine, the founder of the Wagner Group, who has not yet appeared in public. A photo was posted on social media, presuming that Prigogine had not gone to Belarus but was still in St. Petersburg. Netizens compared the photo of Prigojin with short fingers on the left side and found that the photo was fake.
Russian President Putin, whose whereregardings were unknown at the time of the rebellion, appears in public every day and is struggling to deal with the situation. However, as fake news and conspiracy theories do not subside, there is also an analysis that cracks have begun to go to the iron-clad Putin regime.
