Despite the vast amounts Russia is spending on anti-Ukrainian propaganda, the TV channels Rossiya 1 and NTV skimped on actors – and got caught. Rossiya 1 shows a person it calls Andrei Petkov and call him a supporter of federalism who was beaten up by “radicals” from Right Sector supposedly brought into Mykolayiv by the military. NTV shows the same man and even adds a caption with the same name, yet it has a quite different story,  Petkov, they claim, was certainly injured, but is himself a “mercenary” who has made a “sensational confession” – that he, a resident of Germany brought 50 people, “all residents of Western Europe” to Ukraine to carry out violent acts.
