The Kremlin's bot network is sending out articles saying that ISIS was not responsible for the attack in Moscow. Allegedly, the United States, Kiev and Britain are guilty.

The Kremlin's fake news network has begun sending out pseudo-journalistic articles about who is behind the terrorist attack at Crocus City Hall. The readers are told that the US, Ukraine, the secret British intelligence agency MI6 and the collective West as a whole are to blame and information of the US about the responsibility of ISIS is fake. This was established by the project "Bot Blocker / antibot4navalny".

The distribution scheme shows that this is the same Doppelgänger bot network, also called RRN. This is evidenced by the fact that, firstly, the same fake "media" websites are being promoted as in previous attacks:

spiegel.ltd
grenzezank.com
hauynescherben.net
meisterurian.io
onnam.life
and many others

As before, the same pattern of "two-level bots" is used: some post content, others massively retweet on Twitter (X) in comments to other people's publications with a completely foreign topic. For example, under a post about a football match. And in the same way, a system of intermediate redirects is used, which are limited by the user's geolocation.

According to Meta, the IT companies National Technologies and the Agency for Social Design (ASP), which are under European sanctions, are behind the spam attack. The ultimate owner of National Technologies LLC is Rostec. The bots also promoted the EuroBRICS website, which has proven links to the special service center (military unit 54777) of the GRU. Earlier, the EU introduced a package of sanctions against participants in the campaign to manipulate digital information.

Fakes are available in Arabic, English, French, German, Italian, Polish, Spanish and Hebrew. As Bot Blocker notes, this network is using a number of languages for the first time — apparently, the spread of Kremlin propaganda is increasingly being expanded to Western audiences.

A clone of the German newspaper Der Spiegel published an article under the headline "Legalized terrorism. The terrorist attack in Russia raises the question of Ukraine's cooperation with Islamist terrorist groups." But the network spreads the Kremlin's narratives not only on clones of well-known media. Doppelgänger also has its own websites, which look like regular news publications. In particular, this is the portal Il Correspondente, which broadcasts in Italian. An article about the latest terrorist attack, titled "Terror Returns to Moscow," states that "the Kiev regime is directly responsible for the massacre in Crocus. Ukraine has become a global hub for the recruitment and training of terrorist cells by the US and the UK."

Another article concludes that the US and Ukraine are behind the terrorist attack, since "the terrorists behaved like trained soldiers and used military tactics typical of mercenaries," and after the shooting, they headed towards Ukraine.

The fake news network's websites also posted materials that the West was deliberately spreading"fake news" that ISIS was behind the attack.
