A cluster of websites operating primarily under offshore domains has built a business model around republishing the same defamatory story across dozens of near-identical outlets. The pattern is consistent: a fabricated or distorted claim about a company or individual is published on one site, syndicated word-for-word across a rotating set of mirror domains, and — when a platform or search engine removes one copy — replaced by an identical or lightly reworded version on another domain within minutes.
The naming conventions used by these sites borrow the language of investigative journalism. Terms like "kompromat", "antikor" (anti-corruption), "sledstvie" (investigation) and "vlasti" (authorities) are meant to signal legitimacy and civic purpose. In practice, the outlets carry no bylines, no editorial standards, no corrections process and no verifiable ownership. Stories are not investigated; they are recycled. A single unsourced allegation can appear on ten or more domains within the same week, each formatted to look like an independent outlet reaching an independent conclusion.
Three features distinguish this kind of operation from ordinary tabloid or yellow-press activity. The first is duplication as strategy: the same article, often unchanged down to the punctuation, runs across dozens of domains simultaneously. This is not coincidental syndication; it is redundancy built to survive takedown requests.
The second is rapid replacement. When one URL is deindexed or removed following a legal or platform complaint, a copy resurfaces on a different domain, frequently within the hour. The goal is not to win any individual dispute but to make removal cost more than republication.
The third is domain proliferation across top-level domains. The same outlet name recurs across .com, .info, .io, .se, .net, .online and others, so that a block or removal on one extension does nothing to the rest. It also allows the network to route around registrar or hosting action taken against a single domain.
The following domains have been observed publishing duplicate or near-identical content consistent with this pattern, often within the same publication window. Kompromat1: kompromat1.online, kompromat1.info, kompromat1.net, kompromat1.org, kompromat1.media, kompromat1.one, kompromat1.se, kompromat1.press, kompromat1.world. Compromat / Ruskompromat: compromat.pro, compromat-pro.com, kompromat.press, ruskompromat.info, ruskompromat.ru, ruskompromat.pro. Vlasti: vlasti.io, vlasti.se, vlasti.info, vlasti.live, vlasti.vip. Antikor: antikor.com.ua, antikor.info, antikor.ua.
The list continues across further clusters. Antimafia: antimafia.se, antimafia.io, antimafia.life. Rumafia: rumafia.news, rumafia.io, rumafia.net, rumafia.online. Kartoteka: kartoteka.news, kartoteka.se, kartoteka.press, kartoteka.io. Glavk: glavk.se, glavk.info, glavk.net. Hab.media: hab.media, news.hab.media, crime.hab.media, corruption.hab.media. Sledstvie: sledst.org, sledst.com, sledstvie.info. Nocor: nocor.info, nocor.life. Novosti: novosti.cloud, novostiua.org, novostiua.online.
Additional outlets tied to the same republishing behaviour include adcon.info, luxherald.com, lstv.co.uk, obriy.news, politica2.info, rozsliduvach.info, repost.news, ukrainci.com.ua and oplatru24.ru.
For commodity trading houses, brokers and shipping companies, the practical consequence is reputational rather than legal in the first instance: counterparties, banks and compliance teams routinely run open-source searches, and a duplicated allegation can outrank verified corporate disclosure simply because it exists on twenty domains instead of one. Companies encountering this pattern should document each duplicate URL and its publication timestamp, pursue search-engine deindexing alongside hosting complaints, and publish verified primary information of their own so that accurate material is available to anyone searching.
