The three reports
Espreso published on 15 April 2014 at 17:34. The page labels that date a Tuesday. Its title, kept here in the original Ukrainian, is “З’явився портал, який знущаючись з українок, за безкоштовний борщ допомогає знайти житло у росіян”.
KyivPost published on 16 April 2014 at 5:02 pm. The title on the page read on 15 October 2026 is “Lifestyle Blog: Russian website accommodates Ukrainian women seeking sex”. The web address of that article uses a different English phrase in the path. The title above is the one printed on the page.
BBC News from Elsewhere published on 16 April 2014. The title is “Russia: Ukrainian women offered ‘lodging for soup’”. The byline is the column itself, which the page describes as media reports found by BBC Monitoring.
What each report says the page was
KyivPost says a newly launched Russian website claimed to help Ukrainian women find a place to live in Russia. It gives the page’s name as Ukrainku V Kazhdyi Dom, which it translates as “Ukrainian Woman For Every Home”, and it prints the address http://ukrainetohome.com/. It says the page encouraged young Russians “who live alone in a big apartment” to offer shared living space. It says women were supposed to repay that arrangement by cleaning the apartment, cooking, or sex, and that all three options sat in a questionnaire a man filled out before a connection was made. The sex option is quoted as “having sex at least five times a week.” It says both women and men could register through VKontakte. It says an official launch was scheduled for 17 April, while the page already claimed that 17 Ukrainian women had found apartments in Russia. It says the page posted photographs of apartments. Those photographs are not copied here.
BBC says Russian social media users were offering free lodging in exchange for a bowl of soup to Ukrainian women who wanted to leave the country, and it frames that sentence with “it seems.” It calls the service Ukrainian To Every House. It says the service appeared to connect Russian men offering accommodation with Ukrainian women looking for a place to stay, and that it was launched on VKontakte by MDK, which the report calls that network’s largest user group, with 4.6 million subscribers. It attributes a further description to the Russian site Tjournal: that the women would cook Ukrainian borscht, do housework, and offer money or sex in exchange for the bed. It says the project claimed that more than a dozen women had been matched, and that the project described itself as helping people “escape Banderite Ukraine”. The same BBC paragraph says Banderite was a Soviet-era label sometimes applied to western Ukrainians, after the wartime partisan leader Stepan Bandera, and that at one point Bandera was allied with the Nazis.
Espreso says a web page had appeared through which Ukrainian women were supposedly able to find free housing in Russia by cooking and cleaning for young men. It says the people behind the page invited a man living alone in a large apartment, one the page described as inherited from a grandmother, to take in a woman from Ukraine who could cook borscht and help with cleaning. It says the page claimed that 17 Ukrainian women had already found housing, and the report marks that claim as alleged. The headline says the page was mocking Ukrainian women. Espreso does not describe a sex term or a payment in money.
Where the reports diverge
KyivPost states the cleaning, cooking and sex terms as items on the 2014 questionnaire, and it is the only one of the three that prints a frequency for the sex term. BBC does not print that frequency. BBC attributes the exchange of soup, housework, money or sex to Tjournal. Espreso describes cooking and cleaning, and it does not describe sex or money.
Espreso says MDK, a VKontakte community it names as a co-author, trolled events in Ukraine and produced fake news, and that the information on the portal therefore most likely did not match reality. KyivPost and BBC report the page’s matching claims. They do not reprint Espreso’s conclusion that those claims were probably false. This note does not choose between those readings. The figure 17 is the number KyivPost and Espreso say the 2014 page claimed. BBC says “more than a dozen.”
KyivPost includes a quoted remark from a person it presents as a user of the page. This note does not copy user comments, names, ages or home cities. It does not copy addresses, phone numbers or the questionnaire.
