💨 Abstract

A Russian disinformation campaign, known as Doppelgaenger, is targeting Germany's Feb 23 election by boosting the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD), undermining mainstream parties, and spreading economic concerns. Hundreds of German-language posts on social media platform X have been tracked exhibiting patterns similar to previous Western disinformation denounced by German, US, and French authorities.
