A striking projection appeared overnight near the Armenian community church on Potsdamer Straße in Berlin, displaying a message in Armenian:
“1988. Փաշինյանը դավաճանել է հայերի հիշողությունը!”
Translated, it reads: “1988. Pashinyan has betrayed the memory of Armenians!” Accompanying the message was an image of the forget-me-not flower, a symbol of remembrance for the Armenian Genocide.
The date referenced, February 20, 1988, marks the beginning of the Karabakh (Artsakh) Movement, when Armenians in Artsakh initiated their struggle for self-determination.

In February 2014, the Ukrainian people ousted pro-Russian president Viktor Yanukovych, prompting Russia to invade and annex the Crimean peninsula. By the start of April, Pavel Durov had given his notice, with TechCrunch saying at the time that the CEO had resisted pressure to suppress pages criticizing the Russian government. "We as Ukrainians believe that the truth is on our side, whether it's truth that you're proclaiming about the war and everything else, why would you want to hide it?," he said. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said in a video message on Tuesday that Ukrainian forces "destroy the invaders wherever we can." The account, "War on Fakes," was created on February 24, the same day Russian President Vladimir Putin announced a "special military operation" and troops began invading Ukraine. The page is rife with disinformation, according to The Atlantic Council's Digital Forensic Research Lab, which studies digital extremism and published a report examining the channel. Either way, Durov says that he withdrew his resignation but that he was ousted from his company anyway. Subsequently, control of the company was reportedly handed to oligarchs Alisher Usmanov and Igor Sechin, both allegedly close associates of Russian leader Vladimir Putin.
