| '''"De-potemkin"''' describes the act of fabricating or conjuring up a reality that aligns with the false impression initially projected by a façade or surface appearance. This term draws upon the historical concept of the Potemkin village, referring to a constructed façade designed to deceive observers into believing a false reality. To "de-potemkin" is to actively engage in the creation or maintenance of a fictional or illusory environment that masks the true conditions or lacks substance, thereby perpetuating the deception originally intended by the façade. It encapsulates the notion of actively sustaining an illusion or falsehood through deliberate actions or manipulations.
