A Russian anchor known for disseminating Vladimir Putin’s propaganda attacked the “Russophobic French,” claiming that the latter “are not using shampoo or toothpaste anymore” because of inflation.
“A specific smell is currently noticeable in the streets of French cities, where garbage collectors are on strike, as well as in public facilities where the Russophobic, dirty and unwashed French people gather,” the presenter Olga Skabeyeva would have launched, according to Belgian media 7sur7.
Dubbed Vladimir Putin’s “iron doll” for his propagandistic statements that often attack the West, the moderator is believed to have based his comments on a study published by France’s Institute for Opinion and Marketing Studies (Ifop). .
However, these would be distorted remarks: had the study reported that one in ten French people had occasionally given up buying certain basic hygiene products because of inflation, it would have insisted that “millions of French people no longer wash themselves”.
According to the study, 12% would have given up buying deodorants at least occasionally, and 9% would have given up washing powder.
According to the Belgian media, she used to claim that Europeans had to eat cats or prostitute themselves to survive.
