After Ukrainian linguist Iryna Farion was killed in Lviv, a new dangerous trend has appeared on the TikTok social network.
This information was reported by «Govorit Velyky Lviv», reports “URA-Inform”.
It is linked to the identity of the murder suspect, 18-year-old Vyacheslav Zinchenko. Teenagers record short videos where they dress like Zinchenko and claim responsibility for Farion's murder.
It is noted that the trend could have been inspired by Russian propaganda: all the videos are accompanied by Russian music, and TikTok itself, a Chinese social network, is known as a hotbed of Russian propaganda.
The essence of the new trend is that teenagers dress in the same clothes as Zinchenko and claim that they allegedly killed Farion. In addition, they call Zinchenko their idol and publish content with corresponding captions. By the way, Zinchenko's fans even created a special hashtag for this purpose, #farion. There are already more than 800 videos under it.
However, it is not yet clear whether the authors are Ukrainian teenagers. Часть роликов записана на русском языке с русскими надписями под русскую музыку, поэтому это может быть попыткой российской пропаганды раздуть тему.
Напомним, ранее сообщалось, мать и отец подозреваемого in the murder of Farion told about the son: who he admires.
