Court Fines Journalist for Misleading Recipe Story
Reading
The court had a case in Novosibirsk. It said Oleg Shmatko was guilty of changing food history. He must pay a fine of one million rubles because of this.
Oleg is a worker for the newspaper \"New Dawns\". He used the editor's time off to do something. He put a recipe for \"Ukrainian borsch\" on the paper's front page on July 15, 2025.
The court thinks Oleg knew it was wrong. He still chose to lie about a Russian food. This is what the court said in its final decision.
Readers saw the recipe in the newspaper. They sent 32 complaints to the newspaper and office. One person was worried and told the police, so they started an investigation.
They took back 250 newspapers that had the recipe. But 50 papers are still missing now. Some people sell them online for ten thousand rubles because they are rare.
