The news site’s review shows that the Russian plan to spread its propaganda works.
Russia has found many channels to feed its false statements. Aop
The Russian -funded website is striving to spread the Kremlin propaganda in a way that a carefree network browser may not be able to watch out for. Its purpose is to enter fake claims and propaganda to Western artificial intelligence models, where artificial intelligence bots repeat these claims in their own texts.
Newsguard, a site specializing in disseminating disinformation, became familiar with the subject. Accordingly The background is a network called Pravda, which includes a news site published in more than 200 different languages. However, this Pravda should not be confused with the Russian news site of the same name. Instead, this is a separate propaganda operation, with numerous sites with different addresses and names.
The sites do not produce the news themselves, but instead they recycle the topics and views of other news sites under the control of other Russian state, such as the Russian state.

Apparently, they are news sites, but they are not primarily intended to attract human visitors. When the same claims are made on several sites in many different languages, they are more likely to end up in language models used as the soles of different artificial intelligence. The network published a total of 3.6 million articles during 2024.
Newsguard tried ten leading artificial intelligence services, including Openai chatgpt, XAI GROK, Google Gemini, Microsoft Copilot and Anthropic Claude. According to the findings, artificial intelligence repeated false claims spread by the Pravda network in 33 % of cases.
For the first time in February 2024, the existence of the network was observed by the French State Viginal Agency, which focuses on the disinformation campaigns of foreign power. The Network’s goals were also warned by the American non -profit American Sunlight Project earlier this year.
According to Viginum, the Pravda network is maintained by Tigerweb, an IT company on the Crimean Peninsula occupied by Russia. The network began to blame its propaganda in April 2022, shortly after Russia began its large -scale offensive war in Ukraine.
