Suspected sockpuppets

Both accounts were created within two days of each other (10 October and 12 October), and within three weeks of the sockmaster account (24 September). Based off edit history, it appears the two sock accounts were created with with the purpose of restoring reverted edits by the sockmaster (and potentially sidestep the 3RR rule). The two sock accounts have only edited in articles edited by the sockmaster (having made reversions to restore the content by their second edit, something that would be unexpected for unrelated new users). Passes the WP:DUCKTEST.

Two of the three edits each sock account has is a reversion that restores the sockmaster's content without any explanation. See:
 * Namariv diff. 1049471833
 * Namariv diff. 1049538993
 * Yakunov diff. 1049612318
 * Yakunov diff. 1049612120

The remaining edit each sock account has is adding the ethnicity of individuals on List of Russian billionaires, a subject matter that appears to be of significant interest for the sockmaster.

 * - this looks very obvious based on the diffs presented. I'm endorsing CU to ensure there aren't any other accounts since there are at least three here and some aspects of Fonseca.cadu's editing seem unusual for a new user. Thanks, Spicy (talk) 22:21, 12 October 2021 (UTC)

 * , thanks. I see you've indeffed the socks but left the master unblocked. Did you want the clerks to decide what to do with the master? Spicy (talk) 21:08, 13 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Yes I've left that as a question for probably others. Thanks. -- zzuuzz (talk) 21:24, 13 October 2021 (UTC)
 * OK, well, it's a first offense, but adding unsourced BLP content and creating multiple socks to edit war over it without ever engaging in discussion isn't a good look. I think it would be best for them to explain what they were doing in an unblock request. - please indef Fonseca.cadu. Thanks,  Spicy (talk) 22:14, 13 October 2021 (UTC)
