The first document in Japan to feature a picture of Santa Claus was a novel called "Santakuro" published by Kyobunkwan in 1900. Written in kanji, it is "Santakuro." At the time, the word "Santa Claus" was completely unfamiliar, so the kanji was used to make it more familiar to us. As for Santa Claus' appearance, he is wearing a veil-like cloth instead of a hat. He has a postman-like bag slung across his body, and for some reason, he is holding a miniature Christmas tree in his hand. Next to him is a reindeer (?) that looks like a donkey, and on its back is a basket with a large amount of presents peeking out from inside.

The channel appears to be part of the broader information war that has developed following Russia's invasion of Ukraine. The Kremlin has paid Russian TikTok influencers to push propaganda, according to a Vice News investigation, while ProPublica found that fake Russian fact check videos had been viewed over a million times on Telegram. The War on Fakes channel has repeatedly attempted to push conspiracies that footage from Ukraine is somehow being falsified. One post on the channel from February 24 claimed without evidence that a widely viewed photo of a Ukrainian woman injured in an airstrike in the city of Chuhuiv was doctored and that the woman was seen in a different photo days later without injuries. The post, which has over 600,000 views, also baselessly claimed that the woman's blood was actually makeup or grape juice. But Kliuchnikov, the Ukranian now in France, said he will use Signal or WhatsApp for sensitive conversations, but questions around privacy on Telegram do not give him pause when it comes to sharing information about the war. Some privacy experts say Telegram is not secure enough Official government accounts have also spread fake fact checks. An official Twitter account for the Russia diplomatic mission in Geneva shared a fake debunking video claiming without evidence that "Western and Ukrainian media are creating thousands of fake news on Russia every day." The video, which has amassed almost 30,000 views, offered a "how-to" spot misinformation.
