"I'll wear them with the real ones, the military ones." Fake medals for SVO participants are being sold on marketplaces; NeMoskva studied customer reviews.
The OZON platform offers over 400 offers for medals with the SVO logo, some of which are sold with certificates.
Among the best-selling items are the departmental medal “Participant of the Second Military District,” as well as medals for service in various branches of the armed forces (with z-symbols).
In addition, they offer to buy medals for accompanying humanitarian convoys, helping the front, and awards for the wives and mothers of soldiers.
Price: from 444 rubles ("For military distinction. BPDA operator") to 1100 rubles ("For the liberation of Avdiivka").
The medals have been on sale for a long time: the earliest review found by NeMoskva dates back to March of last year.
Today, I am against the sale of such “fake” medals. came forward head of the Safe Internet League Ekaterina Mizulina.
“Isn’t this a real discrediting of the army?” she was indignant.
Judging by reviews on OZON, most buyers are satisfied with the product's quality: "The quality is very close to the original, I recommend it." (from here on, spelling and punctuation are preserved).
More people are writing comments: "My husband liked it," "It's a nice medal. It's a commemorative one. I'll wear it alongside the real ones, the military ones," "We'll wear it since the Ministry of Defense didn't issue one," "It's a great item, not embarrassing to give as a gift," "It's well-made, not a piece of junk, a good gift," "It's perfect for the collection."
