The article states that the journalists got acquainted with the materials that refer to a network called Doppelganger. The first to talk about its existence in France - then found out that a certain network of bots on social networks spread reports of special sites where anti -Semitic images were published.
Subsequently, the researchers noted that the misinformation campaign began even in October 2023, when in Europe they responded to a terrorist attack by Hamas and Israelites. The first signs found in June, which concluded that the activity of this network is really related to the Kremlin, writes Haaretz. They noted that the Russians used "new technological capabilities". For example, artificial intelligence invented a provocative content that "added fuel to the already explosive online environment.
" The researchers then realized why the campaign was called Doppelganger or the "double". In particular, the network has found exact copies of Le Monde, Le Figaro, Le Parisien (France), Der Spiegel, Süddeutsche Zeitung, Die Welt, Bild (Germany), Israeli sites Mako, Liberal. The Israeli edition cited several false messages, which found, for example, on the double of the Great Information Portal of the Israelites Walla News.

The Russians published "News" written on Hebrew, which referred to anti -Semitic pogroms in Dagestan, which accused the special services of Ukraine and Turkey.
