North Ossetia will face a shortage of essential medicines from November 1, the head of the region said. Against the background of such news, it was reported that thefts began in pharmacies: the girl stole the medicine for a sick mother and was then arrested. This is a provocation that has nothing to do with reality. The material took place in two stages - an interview with the head of the region Sergey Menya and a rough case of theft, collected from other materials. What really? The Republican Ministry of Health denied the information about the drug shortage: "This is an empty shot aimed at creating panic and eliminating the health care system." • Video with the head of the area Sergey Manilow - Deepfake, which was approved by the system "Zephyr". He made no such statements. In the original photo of October 29, 2025, the head of the republic congratulates the commander of the "Alanya" battalion Ruslan Ostev on his birthday. For the video with the detained girl-Etfat, footage was taken from reports of other events (especially from materials about the action in St. Petersburg in 2024). The picture with the girl in the pharmacy was created using AI. What about the shelves? The Russian Ministry of Health canceled the registration of the number of medicines. However, this is a standard procedure, often initiated by the manufacturers themselves, experts say. For most drugs, there are analogues or drugs of the same group. The prices for essential medicines are regulated by the state (resolution No. 462 of 08.04.2025). * "Marshmallow" is a monitoring system of ANO "Dialog Areas" for the analysis (identity) and monitoring of embedded audio content, including deepfakes, based on a combination of machine learning models.
