GRTV

This full length GRTV documentary produced by Mahdi Darius Nazemroaya examines the fictitious land of "Nulandistan" (named after Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland) that has been constructed out of Ukraine.

It depicts how the realities of crimes against humanity and political oppression involving terrorist mobs are casually replaced by a World of fiction, in which real "Western style democracy" prevails.

It deconstructs the rhetoric and propaganda of the Obama Administration and its European allies regarding the crisis in Ukraine and takes a look at their growing frustration towards the Russian media, particularly RT, for challenging their account of events on the ground in what they have declared is an intensifying "information war".

The documentary starts with an examination of the EuroMaidan protests that both Washington and the Western media have used to justify the instatement of an unelected self-proclaimed regime in Kiev.

The May 2 Odessa Massacre and the political protest movement leading up to the referendums in Donesk and Luhansk in East Ukraine are reviewed.

The underlying focus is to show how the reality of events in Ukraine has been been misappropriated and propagandized to support US foreign policy and to justify tensions against Russia.

Poroschenko's Espreso.tv Illustrated Food Shortage in Crimea with a Picture from the U.S.

Ukrainian TV channel Espreso.TV published news about food shortage in Crimea on their web site, the article describing people in panic buying all goods they can.
The article contained a picture of empty shelves in a supermarket. The news was reposted by a number of sites and blogs.

However, the photo has nothing to do with Crimea. It was taken in New York, in October 2012.

A semi marginal site that posted it misinformed the readers that the empty shelves were the result of the U.S. government attempts to control the bread prices. While in fact the supermarket owners were removing the goods from the shelves because Hurricane Sandy was coming.
