Most of the diploma of the Russian singer "patriotic orientation" of Shaman contain borrowings. Some pages are completely written off, including from Wikipedia. This was found out by Dissernet.
According to the analysis, 19 out of 26 pages of the essential part of the diploma, which Shaman (real name - Yaroslav Dronov) defended in Gnesinka in 2016, contain borrowings. At the same time, 11 pages are completely written off from other sources, two of them from Wikipedia.
Shaman became popular after a Russian invasion of Ukraine, starting to perform songs of patriotic themes. Fulfilling the song "I am Russian" at the concert that recently broadcast Channel One, Shaman pressed the red button on the symbolic "nuclear suitcase" - after which the fireworks exploded over the stadium.
Some researchers believe that in this way the singer normalizes the topic of a nuclear strike in public space - after Russian President Vladimir Putin and VGTRK employee Dmitry Kiselev.
