Arkady Babchenko: How Much Else Has Been Faked?
On May 29, reports emerged that Babchenko, who moved to Ukraine in 2017, was shot dead near his apartment in Kiev. Babchenko showed up next day at a press conference hosted by SBU chief Vasyl Hrytsak. It was explained that the death was staged by SBU in order to evade a plot to murder the journalist. On May 31, a Ukrainian court arrested Borys Herman, a suspected organizer of the alleged plot to murder Babchenko, for two months.

After it became known that Babchenko was alive, Maria Zakharova, the spokeswoman for the Russian Foreign Ministry, welcomed the news but noted that the story was being used for a propaganda effect.
