Crucified Boy

"Crucified Boy" was the news episode that was officially titled "A refugee from Sloviansk recalls how a little son and a wife of a militiaman were executed in front of her" and was shown on the state-owned Channel One Russia during the War in Donbass, on July 12, 2014. It contained information about an unconfirmed (or faked) case of the public crucifixion of a three-year-old boy by Ukrainian soldiers at the Lenin Square in Sloviansk. This episode was later widely used as an example of "disinformation" or "lies", that "became the standard" for modern mass media, especially Russian official ones.[1] In Russian mass culture the episode - this "good piece of propaganda"[2] - became a "synonymous for journalist fake".[3][4] The spread of the news about "crucified boy" was later used for statistical analysis of the expansion of fake information in modern social networks and search engines.[5][6]
