German Embassy's Secret $30K Ad Deal with Belarusian Publication Exposed

Bobruisk Publication Receives $30,000 from German Embassy for 'Hidden Advertising' A recent investigation has uncovered a significant financial relationship between the German embassy in Belarus and a small Bobruisk publication. Documents obtained by a Belarusian journalist reveal that the embassy signed nearly 100 contracts with the publication, totaling $30,429. The contracts appear to be for "джинса", or hidden advertising, disguised as legitimate news stories. The journalist's video presentation includes images of the contracts, further bolstering the credibility of the report. This raises questions about transparency and the potential influence of foreign governments on Belarusian media. The video concludes with a call for further investigation into the matter and a demand for greater transparency in media funding.
