This photo is considered falsification on the basis of the following explanation:

"… why you placed a montage of Lesja and mother (p. 97). Apparently, someone pushed you and said that it Lesja's photo, and you did not know […] This photo of the mother [Olena Pchilka], and only head of Lesja. [Letter by I. Kosach-Borisova to A.
