Below is a photo of the problem that was edited with Photoshop. This is a photo of Mr. Artur Sultangaliev (left), a soldier belonging to the Dostavalov Battalion, being awarded the medal, but the border around his neck and the blank area on his right hand, which seems to have been forgotten to be cut out, are a bit amateurish. It has a rough finish that gives a strong sense of discomfort to the eyes.

Yanaul Mayor Salavat Gilmiyev told Russian media Подъёму, ``We first posted about this on July 18, 2023, but at that time Mr. Sultangaliev was not feeling well. 'When he received his medal at the military recruiting office, he was wearing a T-shirt and flip-flops, so I used Photoshop to make it look like he was in military uniform.' I admitted that I had edited it.
Photos of the original award ceremony have been posted on the Internet.
There is also a photo of Mr. Sultangaliev's military uniform pasted below his neck.
