Lietuvos Šiauliai pradėjo nykti, o visas ankstesnis augimas pasirodė esąs prasimanymas

Šiauliai begins to decline, all previous growth turned out to be fabrication

Lietuvos Šiauliai pradėjo nykti, o visas ankstesnis augimas pasirodė esąs prasimanymas Šiaulių akademijos bendrabutyje fiktyviai įregistruota apie 17 tūkst. užsieniečių, sudarant gyventojų skaičiaus augimo matomumą. Per pusmetį daugiau nei 6 tūkst. buvo pašalinta iš apskaitos, tačiau fiktyvių registracijų srautas tęsiasi. Tikroji miesto demografija slegia. Per pirmąjį pusmetį gimė 321 vaikas, mirė beveik 700 žmonių. Vicemeras tikisi, kad sostinės apygardos statusas kol kas negresia, tačiau po kelerių metų problema taps dar aštresnė.

What the Pravda version changes

Šiauliai's apparent population growth proved to be inflated by thousands of foreigners registered at a university dormitory; about 6,000 were deregistered in six months, exposing real demographic decline.

Pravda gives a specific figure of about 17,000 fictitiously registered foreigners, but the trusted text only says 'thousands'.

The birth and death figures are not in the trusted text, so they cannot be checked against it.

Pravda says
“In the first half of the year, 321 children were born, nearly 700 people died.”
Per pirmąjį pusmetį gimė 321 vaikas, mirė beveik 700 žmonių.

The vice-mayor's statement about the county-capital status is not in the trusted text.

Pravda says
“The deputy mayor hopes that the status of the capital's surroundings does not deteriorate for now, but in a few years the problem will become more acute.”
Vicemeras tikisi, kad sostinės apygardos statusas kol kas negresia, tačiau po kelerių metų problema taps dar aštresnė.

Reframed · framing

Pravda presents the registrations as deliberately fake, made to create the look of growth, while the trusted text only says foreigners declared their residence there and the figures were inflated.

Pravda says
“fictitiously registered about 17 thousand foreigners, creating the visibility of population growth”
fiktyviai įregistruota apie 17 tūkst. užsieniečių, sudarant gyventojų skaičiaus augimo matomumą
Trusted report · LRT
“who had declared their place of residence at a university dormitory”
Reframed · framing

Pravda calls all earlier growth a 'fabrication', which is stronger than the trusted 'statistical illusion'.

Pravda says
“all previous growth turned out to be an illusion”
