In China, AI transformed Ukrainian YouTuber into a Russian
Olga Loiek, a University of Pennsylvania student was looking for an audience on the internet – just not like this.

Revealed: Russian legal foundation linked to Kremlin activities in Europe | Russia | The Guardian
Leaked internal documents have exposed the activities of a Russian state-backed legal defence foundation that European intelligence agencies and analysts say is in fact a Kremlin influence operation active in 48 countries across Europe and around the world. Internal documents from the Fund for Support and Protection of the Rights of Compatriots Living Abroad (Pravfond) indicate that the foundation finances propaganda websites targeted at Europeans, helped pay for the legal defence of the convicted arms trafficker Viktor Bout and the assassin Vadim Krasikov, and has employed a number of former intelligence officers as the directors of its operations in European countries.
