On October 10, 2022, Russian propaganda exploded with the "sensational" news that the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, V. F. Zaluzhny, wears a bracelet with a swastika. On this bracelet of our production, they managed to "see" a swastika, which is usually not on it. This lie had to be debunked by the owner of the bracelet himself. One of the photos published on social media was taken personally by Valery Fedorovych. We also add it here.
Several international media contacted us for fact-checking comments. Here, for example, is one of the stories on the France 24 channel.
A bracelet with a set of beads made of silver-plated bronze.
Names and short descriptions of beads (left to right):
The World Tree Yggdrasil - the ancient Scandinavian people represented the world in which they live in the form of a giant ash tree. This tree was a whole universe consisting of nine worlds inhabited by giants, gods, mythical creatures and people.
Valkyrie - warrior maiden, assistant of Odin. The task of the Valkyries was to select the bravest warriors among the dead and take them to Valhalla, where they became heroes, who, led by Odin, would fight the army of the dead in a decisive battle.

Huginn and Muninn - a pair of ravens who fly around the world and report events and news to the god Odin. In Old Icelandic, Huginn means "thought" and Muninn means "memory" or "mind".

The eighth symbol - a decorative element of Scandinavian and many other world cultures. Contrary to the false interpretation of Russian propaganda, it has nothing to do with the swastika.
