by The query “Girkin hanged himself” jumped up in search trends on the evening of February 25, 2024.
Netizens began to actively check information about whether Russian blogger Igor Girkin (Strelkov) really hanged himself in prison.
Such requests primarily came from Ukraine. A small part of them also came from Russia and Poland.
Also trending were the queries “Strelkov hanged himself”, “Strelkov news”, “Girkin news”, etc.
The reason for this surge was the appearance on social networks of a message that Girkin allegedly hanged himself from his wife Miroslava Reginskaya.
However, Miroslava Reginskaya herself denied this information on her Telegram channel, also reposting it on the Telegram channel of her husband Strelkov (Grikin).
“There is no such recording on my channel and never has been, and what you see in the picture is a redone recording of the death of Andrei “Murza” Morozov,” she wrote, commenting on the screenshot.
