Russian State Site Warns Against Fake Sites & Notices

United Russia [official site] warned on April 16 of fake notices with significant social impact being published on a site spoofing it.

Today, compromising information was posted on a fake site that positions itself as the official resource of the Duma faction.
You need to be prepared for a huge amount of false information. And an example of this is the false statement spread on behalf of the faction of Russia’s largest political party. This was stated by the first deputy head of the United Russia faction Dmitry Vyatkin .
“You need to understand that this alleged “appeal to the President” is only aimed at dividing our society, compromising the Armed Forces, introducing doubts into the minds of people, and also causing damage and undermining confidence in our party. We are closely monitoring the situation, promptly responding to such sabotage and will definitely achieve punishment for those responsible – for this, United Russia has worked long and hard to improve legislation and increase the information security of our citizens,” he said.
The deputy head of the faction , Yevhen Revenko , added that this was pure provocation.
“Someone (I guess who: 10 minutes after the appearance of the fake, the reposts went through the well-known provocateur and liar Anton Gerashchenko in Telegram and 15 minutes later on the Ukrainian UNIAN resource) staged a provocation: he created a false website of our faction and began to post all sorts of nonsense, fakes on socially important topics. Some online publications were quick to pick up. Colleagues please be careful. For our part, we turned to Roskomnadzor with a request to block and remove the fake from everywhere. Well, I’ll add that just as there was no trust in the Kiev mouthpieces of the national propagandist, it still isn’t. Another confirmation,” he said.
