波坦金村莊

波坦金村莊（俄語：потёмкинские деревни），又譯波特金村莊。在現代政治和經濟中，「波坦金村莊」指專門用來給人虛假印象的建設和舉措，其概念與面子工程近似。

這個詞原指用來騙人的村莊。1787年，在葉卡捷琳娜二世出巡因為俄土戰爭獲勝而得到的克里米亞的途中，格里戈里·波坦金在第聶伯河兩岸布置了可移動的村莊來欺騙女皇及隨行的大使們。在現代政治和經濟中，「波坦金村莊」指專門用來給人虛假印象的建設和舉措。

考據

隨葉卡捷琳娜二世出巡的利涅親王夏爾-約瑟夫有異說，指出波坦金的建設大部分貨真價實（至少是為了取悅女皇才做少量形象加強，粉刷規模不大），並非虛假。他指出人們創造「波坦金村莊」一詞以毀謗波坦金^[1]。
