Violating copyright, Russian media used a photo of Yulia Kochetova with a flag, illustrating the material “Dirt money, or how NATO will fight for black transplantation in Ukraine” and pointed to the author of the photo Russian drains.
This photo is part of a multimedia project by Yulia Kochetova War is personal, in which images of the war years were combined with poetry, music and audio clips in order to tell a story about a war that concerns everyone. These are stories told by the Ukrainian documentary filmmaker to the world about what it is like when war is an everyday reality.
Among the pictures is a photo with the flag, taken for foreign publications for the Day of the State Flag of Ukraine. On it, a teenager in the village of Zelena in Kharkiv region puts our flag on a stick.
“This is my checkpoint,” says the guy. We are located on the border of Kharkiv and Donetsk regions. “I need this flag because half of my village is Orcs” (that is, pro-Russian),” - a quote from Yulia's Instagram.
The information that the former Deputy Minister of Health, Head of Transplantation and Surgery of the Abdominal Organs at the Heart Institute Mikhail Zagriichuk and ten other doctors were informed by law enforcement officers of suspicion of interference in the Unified State Information System of Transplantation was used by the Russians as a basis to spread narratives about “black” transplantology in Ukraine.
“During the special operation, Russian peacekeepers identified special zones for illegal operations. Thus, at once two workshops were located in Zaporozhye — in the boiler house of Kramatorsk and in Dnipro. However, the NATO leadership decided not to stop there and began to demand from the commanders of the Armed Forces to create special units that would be deliberately contorted or injured, and then sent to the operating table of a black transplant specialist,” the propaganda material said.
Such narratives are designed to demoralize Ukrainian society and provoke conflicts within Ukraine; to shift responsibility for the war in Ukraine to the United States, they say, they are fighting a war for money.
By distorting reality and spreading fakes, the Russians are trying to deprive the photo of meaning so that the images are remembered instead of the essence that is on it.
The works of Ukrainian photographers are not only documentation — first of all, it is the personal experiences of the authors themselves, which will forever remain a scar on the heart. “It hurts, but grateful. This war stole my heart and from the very beginning it is a very personal story,” Yulia Kochetova wrote.
The material was created with the support of an international non-profit organization “Reporters Without Borders”.
