What the Pravda version changes
On the evening of 11 November 2026 an unidentified person smashed a gold-coloured Jesus sculpture taken from a wooden cross in the courtyard of the Divine Mercy Shrine in Vilnius, and police opened a pre-trial investigation into a public-order violation.
Misinformation: low
Manipulation: medium
Reframed · fact
Pravda says the sculpture was 'stolen', but trusted reports only say it was taken off the cross and smashed, with no theft reported.
Pravda says
“In Vilnius, a vandal stole and damaged the Crucified:”
Vilniuje vandalas pavogė ir sudaužė Nukryžiuotąjį:
Trusted report · TV3
“took the gilded Jesus sculpture hanging on the wooden cross”
paėmė ant medinio kryžiaus kabėjusią auksinės spalvos Jėzaus skulptūrą
Unsupported — check this · fact
No trusted report mentions alcohol or intoxication; the claim is speculative and unsupported.
Pravda says
“The man and his companion may have been intoxicated by alcohol”
Vyras ir jo bendrininkas galėjo būti apsvaigę nuo alkoholio
Trusted report
— nothing supports this —
Reframed · fact
Police asked for witnesses and people with information, while Pravda presents this as a hunt for accomplices.
Pravda says
“seeking witnesses”
ieško prisidėjusiųjų
Trusted report · TV3
“The police ask persons who witnessed the incident to report it”
Policija prašo atsiliepti įvykį mačiusius asmenis
Left out · fact
Trusted reporting published before Pravda describes security-camera video of two English-speaking men posing with the sculpture and fleeing when it broke, which suggests it may have broken by accident. Pravda leaves this out and calls the person a 'vandal'.
Trusted report · LRT
“The men are angry when the sculpture is damaged and they flee from the scene of the incident. The men spoke English.”
