bouncingdodecahedrons asked: Hello! I wanted to let you know that the Moscow protest image said to be from “February 4th, 2012” is actually an image from 1991, when various marches took place at the fall of the Soviet Union. In addition to that, the photo is doctored, there are a couple spots on the lower edge of the picture where you can see a section of the crowd repeat exactly, a sign that someone copied and pasted parts of the crowd to fill in gaps or make it seem larger than it was. So, just a heads up on that.
I don’t know why someone would do this, but I thank you very much for telling me. I do my best to never spread misinformation on this blog. I am pulling the post.
Thanks again.
