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.

Dive into the AntiFake project and our methods of fact-checking.

Ivan Eismant called the plan voiced by Lukashenko in 2020 a treachery

On the talk show Budni on Alpha Radio and SBTV, Ivan Eismant said that in 2020, opponents of the government proposed giving up Russian energy resources and switching to liquefied gas supplies from the United States. The Weekly Top Fake team did not find any such “plan to reanimate Belarus,” but discovered that it was Aleksandr Lukashenko himself who, at the time, was calling for reducing reliance on Russian oil and gas and seeking alternative suppliers.
