Russians changed the translation of "Morning Show" and accused Ukraine of shelling Mariupol

The third season of the series "The Morning Show" has been released on the US video platform Apple TV. Russia, which does not have access to the platform due to the company's refusal to co-operate with the aggressor country, pirated the translation of its new episodes, which mention the Russian-Ukrainian war. However, in their version of the translation, the Russians accused the AFU fighters of shelling Mariupol, and they also re-vocalised the show to sound other Kremlin narratives. The situation was reported by the publication Meduza.

In particular, in the show, in one of its episodes, photographer Andre Ford goes to Mariupol and calls his producer Mia Jordan. During the video call, he is in a hospital in Mariupol. You can see medics fussing around him and he talks about what is happening in the city.

In the English version, Ford talks about the Russian army shelling Mariupol and shooting civilians right on the streets. However, Moscow decided not to give this voiceover and put a text convenient for the Kremlin on top. In the Russian version, the photographer says that Mariupol is being bombed by "militants" and that civilians are being shot at by Azov.

Note, the series "Morning Show" tells the story of TV journalists working for one of the largest TV channels in the United States. It is important to note that the 3rd season of the series is not officially available on the Russian streaming service.
