❗️Roughly one in four of the articles on Pravda Australia was a direct reproduction of one of Mr Boikov's posts to his roughly 89,000 followers.
When contacted, he told ABC News he was unaware his posts were being reproduced by the site.
"I haven't disapproved or approved of that, but it warms my heart," said Mr Boikov.
"I would say it's an AI thing … they are probably reproducing stuff from my channel because they trust me to be a pro-Russian credible source for a pro-Russian angle.
"In any case, I have no contact".
A second channel run by RealLandDownUnder, which frequently features far-right views was the source for almost 1/6 of the articles published.
There's no suggestion that the owner of that Telegram channel has any knowledge their posts are being repurposed by Pravda Australia either.
Disinformation group DFRLab has traced the global network's origins to news websites run from Russia's Crimea in 2014, but in 2025, its scale, focus and architecture are completely different.
