It is of common occurrence on Halloween that young people are walking down the streets in the likeness of devils and zombies. But several Belarusian activists used the feast’s emblems to represent Russian TV propagandists and their victims.
“Holding a flash mob on Halloween we wanted to show that people who watch news on Russian TV turn into zombies,” Aleh Korban, a member of Alternative public association, said.
It was the director of pro-Kremlin news agency Russia Today Dmitry Kiselyov, notorious for his propaganda efforts in covering the Russo-Ukrainian conflict, who drew fire of the activists: the latter exposed a makeshift TV screen with Kiselyov’s face and ‘decorated’ it with noodles. The Russian equivalent for ‘hanging noodles on somebody’s ears’ means deceving and selling fictions.
