668 claims
Mixed60% confidence11 sourcesOct 1, 2026Mao Zedong killed 30 million people.Said by BThe 30 million figure matches estimates of deaths from the Great Leap Forward famine (Reuters 2009, AP-style 2026 reports), but other sources put Mao-era deaths at 40 to 70 million or more, so the claim's total is at the low end of contested estimates. The post says Mao 'killed' 30 million, and much of that toll was starvation rather than direct killing.Mixed60% confidence7 sourcesOct 1, 2026The Russian Constitution has been amended to prohibit legal forms of LGBT ideology.Said by BThe 2020 constitutional amendment did define marriage as a union of a man and a woman, which bans same-sex marriage, so that part is supported. However, the sources say the constitution does not mention sexual orientation or gender identity, and the restrictions on LGBT 'propaganda' and gender transition come from federal statutes, so the claim that the constitution prohibits LGBT ideology overstates the amendment's scope.Mixed50% confidence5 sourcesOct 1, 2026Liberal parties in Russia typically receive between 2% and 5% of the vote.Said by BThe claim's 2-5% range roughly matches the historical record: Menyashev reports liberal parties averaged about 4.5% combined in 1995-2007, and Carnegie reports Yabloko under 2% and PARNAS under 1% in 2016. But Yabloko received 7.86% in 1993, and the sources give no 2026 figure for liberal parties as a bloc, so the claimed range falls within some estimates and not others. As of 2026-10-01, Yabloko had been removed from party-list races, a change the sources report but that does not fit a typical-share range.Mixed60% confidence8 sourcesOct 1, 2026Emperor Paul I sent Gabriel Derzhavin to investigate the causes of violence and hatred against Jews in western Russia.Said by 11BPaul I did send Derzhavin to investigate Jewish-related complaints in western Russia, including the 1799 Shklov complaint of oppression by Zorich and the 1800 famine and peasant-unrest inquiry. However, the sources describe those missions as a complaint about a governor's extortion and an investigation of famine and exploitation, not an inquiry into the causes of violence and hatred against Jews, and Derzhavin's report blamed Jewish trades. The claim's stated purpose is therefore only partly supported.Mixed60% confidence5 sourcesOct 1, 2026Pogroms in Russia began after the murder of Alexander II.Said by 11BThe sources support the intended reading that the major wave of pogroms in Russia followed the 1881 assassination of Alexander II, but they contradict the literal claim that pogroms began then, since earlier incidents occurred in Odessa in 1821 and in 1859 and 1871. The extracted claim matches the passage's wording, and the post itself refers to the 1881 murder.Mixed50% confidence4 sourcesOct 1, 2026Odessa was the Jewish capital of the Russian Empire prior to the Russian Revolution.Said by 11BSources support Odessa as the Russian Empire's leading Jewish cultural center, with the YIVO Encyclopedia saying no influential center in the empire surpassed it by the 1860s. But on population, sources place Odessa second to Warsaw in the empire (YIVO's 1897 figure), so 'Jewish capital' holds only on a cultural reading and is contradicted on a demographic one. The claim matches the post's wording, and no source uses the 'Jewish capital of the Russian Empire' phrasing directly.Mixed70% confidence6 sourcesOct 1, 2026The Czar signed a manifesto in 1906 guaranteeing basic freedoms.The sources support that Tsar Nicholas II signed a manifesto guaranteeing basic civil freedoms, but they date that manifesto to October 1905, not 1906. The 1906 date fits the Fundamental Laws and constitution that confirmed it, so the claim gets the year wrong for the manifesto.Minor detail. The sources confirm the claim; only a minor detail differs, such as a name's spelling, a title's wording or a rounding.Mixed50% confidence6 sourcesOct 1, 2026On June 1, 1906, the Jewish Bund attacked an Orthodox procession.The sources agree that a shooting at an Orthodox procession in Białystok on June 1 (Old Style; June 14 New Style) triggered the 1906 pogrom, but they do not name the Bund as the attacker. Dubnow attributes the procession shooting to an agent provocateur from the Black Hundreds, while the FRUS ambassador's report says Jewish anarchists fired on the procession, so the perpetrator attribution is disputed. The claim's dropped qualifiers ('heavily armed', '25 killed') are not graded, and the sources give different death tolls.Mixed45% confidence5 sourcesOct 1, 2026Between 1905 and 1906, revolutionaries murdered 15 governors and mayors, 267 security officials, and 12 bishops.Said by 10BSources confirm that revolutionaries murdered many officials, governors and police in 1905-1906, but the specific tallies are not supported. Source [5] reports 20 governors killed in 1905 plus three more in 1906, which exceeds the claimed 15 governors and mayors, while the 267 security-official figure is not matched by any source and no source mentions 12 bishops. The claim matches the post's wording, so no extraction departure applies.Reported in the post, not stated as its own.Mixed55% confidence7 sourcesOct 1, 2026Father Georgy Gapon was a leader of the 1905 Bloody Sunday march and was a secret revolutionary.Sources firmly support that Father Georgy Gapon led the peaceful march on Bloody Sunday, 22 January 1905. The 'secret revolutionary' label is contested: sources describe him as a secret police (Okhrana) informant or agent who also cooperated with the Socialist Revolutionary Party, while one source calls him an honest and loyal revolutionary.Mixed50% confidence4 sourcesOct 1, 2026Mob actions involving Jews occurred in Chernigov and Moscow during the violence of 1905.The sources show that mobs in 1905 overwhelmingly attacked Jews in pogroms, which contradicts the post's apparent sense of Jewish mobs as perpetrators, though Jewish self-defense groups did act in some places. Neither Chernigov nor Moscow is addressed as a site of mob actions involving Jews, and the claim departs from the passage, which describes 'mobs of Jews' committing acts of terror.Mixed55% confidence6 sourcesOct 1, 2026During the violence of 1905, Jewish mobs in Odessa shot non-Jewish policemen.Official accounts cited in the sources say Jewish youths in the 1905 Odessa demonstrations attacked and disarmed policemen, and two policemen were reported killed, which partly supports the claim. However, no source says Jewish mobs shot non-Jewish policemen, and the sources identify the police and unskilled day laborers as the main perpetrators of a pogrom that was overwhelmingly directed at Jews, which contradicts the claim's framing. The claim also departs from the passage's wording somewhat, since the post says 'they were simply shooting' without the 'Jewish mobs' attribution being the claim's only basis.
