Such information was disseminated on social networks and propaganda media. Reports say Ukraine plans to ban Tetris because it was developed by a Russian engineer and “Ukraine sees everything as propaganda”. The authors refer to the French edition of 20 minutes and add video evidence. It is not true.

The fact-checkers of the StopFake project drew attention to the case, and they explained that they did not find any information about the subject of the Tetris ban on the official website of the publication. Moreover, not a single government agency of Ukraine has come out with a statement on the so-called “ban”. So the propagandists just dropped this message without proof.

Thus, the authors mock and appeal to the fact that the refusal of Ukraine from the Soviet heritage (for example, the dismantling of the coat of arms of the USSR in the motherland) is supposedly wrong and generally ridiculous. The propagandists actually exaggerated this situation when they noted that the puzzle game was “banned” in Ukraine.
