Potemkin villages: What the true story says about Putin and Ukraine

News Sports Entertainment Life Money Tech Travel Opinion

The modern-day idea of political disinformation has roots in the story of a Russian leader’s tour of Ukraine. But the tale from history is not to be trusted.

Once upon a time, there lived a powerful leader known as Catherine the Great who ruled a vast empire and, over the years, conquered many new lands. 

Catherine appointed her boyfriend to oversee one of those conquests — a place now called Ukraine. As time passed, he informed her the citizens were flourishing and happy. But, according to a version of the tale passed on for centuries, it was a lie.
