reference profile · reported nexus: RU (not nationality)
CopyCop is a Russian covert influence network that has established over 300 fictional media websites targeting the US, France, Canada, and other countries, primarily to disseminate pro-Russian and anti-Ukrainian narratives. The network employs TTPs such as deepfakes, fake interviews, and self-hosted LLMs for content generation, while also impersonating local media outlets and fact-checking organizations. Its operations are supported by the Moscow-based Center for Geopolitical Expertise and the GRU, aiming to undermine support for Ukraine and exacerbate political fragmentation in Western nations. CopyCop's influence content is amplified by a network of pro-Russian social media influencers and other Russian influence networks.
