#Russia embassy in South Africa on Twitter posted the new map of #BRICS countries titled "reality of a new multipolar world" (original grammar).
And then deleted it shortly after. Because the map of the "new multipolar world" correctly shows #Crimea as part of #Ukraine, thus embarrassingly countering their own propaganda.
As a matter of fact such sloppiness is quite common in Russian propaganda as graphic designers are one of the most underpaid jobs, operating at the lowest effort: google the topic, find first good looking vector or bitmap, copy/paste, edit and send to customer. Each year 9 May celebrations see huge "our granddads as WW2 heroes" posters followed by angry and embarrassed comments "you idiots, these are photos of German soldiers!"

As for this map — at least they didn't mark Belarus as a member on it. They are now trying really hard to convince everyone that they are getting admitted soon — but nothing like that has been announced at the summit: https://www.vedomosti.ru/politics/news/2023/08/27/992132-belorussiya-rasschitivaet-na-skoroe
Vedomosti used to be a great bussiness media, but now they are full of misleading headlines too. Sometimes the article itself clears it up — like in this case, sometimes not 😩
