Fake: The head of Karelia, Artur Parpanchikov, in a speech to students, said that the Ministry of Defense set a task to recruit 15 thousand people for military service in the region. This video appeared on Instagram*. The truth: the video was created by a neural network. The account on which this "record" is published was created in October 2026 in Ukraine. The creators of the fakes took as a basis Perpchikov's speech with a report to the legislative assembly of the region in 2024. In it, they changed the speech and adapted the facial expressions to the new voice. On the same channel there is another video produced on the subject of mobilization, allegedly recorded by a student - a low-quality neural network fake. By the way, the authors of the stuffing did not even understand the issue. In the video's caption they wrote "enlist", which is incorrect neither grammatically nor in meaning. The fake video itself is about recruitment, not recruiting. *Belongs to meta, recognized as extreme and banned in the Russian Federation.
