What is Belarusian Interactive Catalogue of Fakes

The Belarusian Interactive Catalogue of Fakes is an online tool designed to explore false information and disinformation campaigns targeting Belarus. The Catalogue of Fakes was developed by the Belarusian Investigative Center (BIC) as part of their ongoing AntiFake News project, which has been gathering and examining false information campaigns since 2021.

The platform offers a comprehensive overview of the fake news landscape in Belarus, including visualizations and search functions to help users identify and understand disinformation tactics. It also provides insights into the media and individuals involved in spreading false narratives and allows users to explore specific examples of manipulation and distortion of information. This is a holistic view of how the propaganda machine works.

Minskaya Pravda reported on the nonexistent ban on foreigners refueling at Polish gas stations

The Minskaya Pravda YouTube channel reported that Poland had prohibited the sale of fuel at gas stations to “non-Poles.” The Weekly Top Fake team discovered that no such decision had been made in the country. Rather, it was merely a request by the mayor of the border town of Świnoujście to limit the sale of fuel in jerry cans, prompted by German drivers buying up stocks at local gas stations.

“Belarusians are a nation of readers.” How officials and state media distort data on reading and book print runs in Belarus

Against the backdrop of the Minsk International Book Fair, state media once again highlighted Belarusians’ supposed love of reading and claimed that book circulation is on the rise. The Weekly Top Fake team discovered that these statements conflict with official statistics. The number of published books and their total print run have decreased in the country in recent years, and according to sociologists, the number of Belarusians who read regularly remains low.
