Putin's "Doubles". The Insider described the functioning of the Kremlin's disinformation group
The Russian disinformation group "Doppelgänger" has successfully spread propaganda against Ukraine, influencing American politicians like Vice President JD Vance. This group, created by the Kremlin, produces fake news and deepfakes to promote Russian narratives abroad. Their tactics include identifying sensitive topics in various countries and creating misleading content that appears as legitimate news. Recent examples include false claims about Ukrainian President Zelensky purchasing a yacht and antisemitic sentiments linked to the Paris Olympics. The group operates under the Agency for Social Design, which coordinates disinformation efforts and collects materials for Kremlin use.
