1/ Russian propagandists making an anti-Ukrainian, anti-LGBT film staged a fake 'gay parade' in Moscow with Ukrainian and rainbow flags. Unfortunately they forgot to notify the authorities and were denounced to the police by outraged citizens, leading to an investigation. ⬇️

2/ The Greek-Russian director Konstantin Charalampidis is making a propaganda movie called "Europe Day", set in Ukraine. It's being funded by the Internet Development Institute, which finances propaganda projects under the guise of "patriotic" Internet content.

The Russian film magazine 'Vsluh!' ('Aloud!') reports that the scene being filmed is set in Kyiv on 9 May, when the end of World War II is marked.

3/ The filmmakers have been using Moscow's Vvedenskoye cemetery in the Lefortovo district of Moscow as a stand-in for a Kyiv burial ground. One scene portrays a grandmother wearing a St George's ribbon – a Russian nationalist symbol – walking to the grave of her husband, who was killed by the Nazis during World War II.

4/ As Vsluh! describes the scene:

"A young neo-Nazi man walks towards her and offers to remove the ribbon, to which the old woman replies that she is going to visit the grave of her husband, who gave his life for his motherland, in honour of 9 May.

But the young Nazi persists and says that today is no longer 9 May, but Europe Day, claiming that the [Ukrainian] authorities have renamed it. The grandmother replies that maybe for them it's Europe Day, but for her it's Victory Day forever."

5/ During the scene, a crowd of LGBT people carrying Ukrainian and rainbow flags pass in the background (it's not clear why). This got the filmmakers into serious trouble when outraged Muscovites spotted the flags of their sexual and national enemies being flown.
@ChrisO_wiki "the flags of their sexual and national enemies" made me laugh aloud x
