CEO and owner of the russian LLC Struktura Group of Companies, involved in information operations in the interests of the kremlin.
In 2022, Struktura Group of Companies LLC participated in the Doppelganger operation. The purpose of operation was to spread pro-russian propaganda and disinformation in the international arena, including the United States and Latin America. This destructive campaign also included attempts to influence democratic processes in Western countries, reducing the level of support for Ukraine. As part of this operation, a network of more than 60 fake news sites was created that imitated popular Western media. These resources spread disinformation about russia's war against Ukraine and discredited international support for Ukraine.
The Doppelganger operation was carried out by a team of political strategists led by Tupikin and supervised by the first deputy head of the russian presidential administration, Sergei Kiriyenko.
