The 2010 Georgian news report hoax, also known as "Simulated Chronicle", was a fake news report aired by Georgian television station Imedi TV on 13 March 2010. The hoax, intended as a hypothetical pseudo-documentary, reported on the breakdown of Parliament and the deaths of several government officials, culminating in an invasion of Georgia by Russia. The broadcast's close resemblance to genuine news programming caused widespread panic among Georgians who believed the events depicted were real, and it was linked to the deaths of at least three people.[1]
The hoax drew widespread criticism from the opposition, the Georgian media, and the public, as well as many international commentators and officials. Then-President Mikheil Saakashvili, whom Imedi TV supported, was accused of involvement in the hoax. It has been considered one of the most shocking hoaxes of all time.[2]
