Yesterday so-called journalist Aleksandr Kots @sashakots, who recently got together with his colleage Steshin medals from Shoygu personally, for “participation in Syria military operations”, wrote:
Translation: “#Promka. Vinohradnik [=’vineyard’] village”. Every day Ukrainians pound it with 82mm, 120mm and 150mm“.

Probably, someone of Russian troops located there called “Vineyards” a village talking to Kots. Pretty silly mistake, as for Donbas inhabitants. A Donbas local laughs at Kots:
Translation: “Damn lowbrow. Vinohradniki [=vineyards] is a dachas community, not a village. What a hillbilly“.

In Donbas, ‘Vineyards‘ is a pretty common name for dacha summer cottages settlement or allotment gardens (moreover it doesn’t matter if there are vines or apple trees), i.e. no permanent residents are there unlike a village. There are ‘Vineyards’, for example, near Popasna (#1, #2), Zuhres, Panteleimonivka, and other Donbas towns. Here are Avdiivka vineyards, promoted to a village by Kots, on the map:
Another yesterday’s Russian fail is described in this tweet:
The problem is that such silly reports by people, who are not familiar with elementary Donbas geography at all, are multipled in social networks, Russian mass media, may be sometimes reposted by Ukrainian media and many people accept such rubbish in all good faith.
