Each video contained three frames, 1 each in English, French, and German, with the following message in their respective languages, “ANTI-RUSSIAN SANCTIONS ARE DESTROYING YOUR ECONOMY”. Here is one example.
On June 12, 2026, dTeam observed seven Matryoshka videos published on X that utilized subliminal advertising techniques with the insertion of single frames of text into the videos.
Fake news about Armenia on Telegram doesn’t spread randomly 🚫
It’s coordinated 📡
Small channels drop it → big ones amplify 🔁
All within minutes ⏱️
Which Telegram channels are behind it? 👀

“Rock stars,” Hollywood actors, influencers — all suddenly talking about Armenia’s elections.
The videos look real. They’re not.
Here’s how they were made and spread 👇 #CivilNetCheck

Public Service Announcement: Russia‘s propaganda botnets are going all-out trying to promote Victor Órban before the elections in Hungary, with a whole host of hair-raising disinformation narratives. The „act of terror“ story is still strong, so stay vigilant.
Neues Desinformationsvideo der russischen Matryoschka-Kampagne auf X – es wird kompliziert:
Russen produzieren u.a. Fake-Video mit Label von Correctiv, in dem behauptet wird, die CDU verbreite Desinformation über Politiker der anderen Parteien. (Via @dTeamUS) #RuBotTicker
🚨 Coordinated disinformation campaign targets Armenia on X.
Between Feb 20–March 1, at least 10 fake videos spread sensational claims about PM Nikol Pashinyan and Armenia — using logos of CNN, Reuters, Bloomberg & others.
None of them are real.

BREAKING: The US government just open-sourced its new ‘Free Speech Algorithm’! How it works:
✅ Approves: Disinformation and hate speech
❌ Blocks: Factual journalism, antisemitism fighting, children protection & defense of democratic values
✅ Approves: Propaganda from authoritarian regimes
❌ Blocks: A viewpoint that differs from the US administration’s stance

@Colon_David Apparemment, la « liberté d'expression » sur X s'étend aux campagnes d'influence russes, car X a permis à ces comptes Storm-1516 de publier à plusieurs reprises des récits manifestement faux, élaborés par le GRU (unité 29155), plusieurs fois par semaine depuis l'été 2023.
@AUmanyan@atanessi@grok We have observed both Storm-1516 and Matryoshka targeting Armenia/Pashinyan on the same day several times, but not with the exact same content or narrative.
@AUmanyan@atanessi@grok The bot networks that amplify Matryoshka and Storm-1516 posts are often the same, sometimes the same amplifying bots are also reposting Spamouflage.
A few recent example.
Steve Witkoff’s rise wasn’t an accident, neither is his role in Trump’s new Kremlin-friendly “peace plan.”
For decades he operated inside the same russian money pipeline that shaped Trump’s world.
The long format version: Witkoff & the russia relations👇🏼

1: Let’s talk about Steve Witkoff, because I think the narrative of him being a “useful idiot” is a dangerous trap to walk in.
It’s darker than that.
Witkoff has spent three decades swimming in russian money, russian mob circles, and russian real-estate pipeline.
