A six-fingered Leonardo DiCaprio and the creature from Ridley Scott’s ‘Alien’ stuff a ballot box in this Russian PSA about AI-generated election fraud videos
The Telegram channel Voyna s Feykami posted an AI-generated video about ballot stuffing. It shows a six-fingered Leonardo DiCaprio, soccer player Cristiano Ronaldo, and the alien from Ridley Scott’s film “Alien” dropping ballots into a ballot box. A voice-over warns that videos purporting to show election violations may have been generated using AI.
According to the Telegram channel Voyna s Feykami, a fraudulent AI-generated video circulated showing Leonardo DiCaprio, soccer player Cristiano Ronaldo, and the alien from Ridley Scott’s film "Alien" stuffing a ballot box. The video, which has been viewed over 100,000 times, warns viewers not to believe everything they see online, urging them to rely only on official sources for election information.
Voyna s Feykami, run by Dialog, a nonprofit organization established by Moscow authorities, has been accused of promoting political advertising and fabricating content related to the pandemic and Ukraine's full-scale invasion. The organization's responsibilities have expanded to include handling communications for the Defense Ministry and creating false stories about Ukraine.
During its existence, Dialog has been linked to several controversial incidents, including fabricating stories about the cause of a gas explosion in Dnipro and the strike that killed 12 people at a pizzeria in Kramatorsk.
