They dislike the European Union, Israel, Muslims, and, of course, Ukraine. We're talking about the “Eurokolchoz" website, whose administrator circulated a Russian fake story in early December about a 70-year-old pensioner from southern Ukraine.
According to “Eurokolchoz”: “A 70-year-old resident of the Mykolaiv region shot seven TCK employees while defending his grandson from mobilisation. He held out for six hours but was eventually killed in an assault — along with his grandson — by Banderites…”
This story appeared on Russian websites in late November in a more elaborate form.
The pensioner was named Traczuk, allegedly a former professional soldier in the Soviet Army who served in Leningrad. His son supposedly died in the war, so when TCK (Territorial Recruitment Centre — the institution responsible for mobilisation, maintaining military records, and delivering call-up papers) employees arrived, he reportedly barricaded himself inside with his grandson and opened fire. As a result, seven TCK employees were killed. A special unit of the Ukrainian police was called in, and both the pensioner and his grandson were killed.
This fake surfaced on Polish websites at the beginning of December, including on the aforementioned “Eurokolchoz” website, which has clear messaging and political leanings.
It also appeared elsewhere, such as on the “Poland, Not Polin” website.
The photograph used to illustrate the story actually shows the arrest of a drunk driver in Sumy in 2024.
