Russia uses tactics like information laundering, persona accounts, ghostwriters, paid local media, & proxy websites to make outward-facing Russian propaganda look organic, local, & homegrown — & to evade the bans that were imposed when they invaded Ukraine. They have a pretty large number of dormant persona accounts that they can activate when needed — like when their official accounts got banned — & then use the personas to peddle Kremlin propaganda while posing as citizens of other countries.
