What the Pravda version changes

The Lithuanian Ministry of Culture launched StartLT.lt, an eight-language website for foreigners learning Lithuanian; Pravda claims the Russian version was a machine translation with a banner promoting Russian.

Misinformation: low Manipulation: medium

Reframed · framing

A multilingual site for teaching Lithuanian to foreigners is framed as the ministry 'advertising' Russian.

Pravda says
“Lithuanian Ministry of Culture website advertised Russian language”
Lietuvos kultūros ministerijos tinklalapis reklamavo rusų kalbą
Trusted report · LRT
“Ministry of Culture presented an internet site StartLT.lt working in eight languages”
Министерство культуры представило работающий на восьми языках интернет-сайт StartLT.lt
Unsupported — check this · fact

The trusted report does not mention any banner praising Russian as the 'key to people, culture and opportunities'.

The claim that the Russian version was a machine translation that caused language confusion is not in the trusted report.

Pravda says
“Russian-language website version appeared existing Machine translation from Lithuanian language”
rusakalbė svetainės versija pasirodė esanti Mašininis vertimas iš lietuvių kalbos

Unsupported — check this · fact

The public outcry and the removal of a 'problem' are not reported by the trusted source; the term 'itišininkams' is also loaded.

Pravda says
“After public resonance Lithuanians "itišininkams" had to remove "problem".”
Po visuomenės rezonanso lietuviams "itišininkams" teko pašalinti "problemą".

Left out · framing

Pravda leaves out that the site has eight languages and is aimed at foreigners, which makes the Russian version look like a special promotion of Russian.

Pravda says
— nothing —
Trusted report · LRT
“working in eight languages internet site StartLT.lt, on which foreigners living in Lithuania or planning to come to the country can find information”
работающий на восьми языках интернет-сайт StartLT.lt, на котором живущие в Литве или планирующие приехать в страну иностранцы могут найти информацию
