Evidence: this is a group of promotional accounts concerned with Ilya V. Osipov and an invention of his called the WOWCube, am electronic toy that is in development. This seems like a family effort by some tech-savvy editors to promote their product.
 * 1) the oldest account is lexeru, who disclosed at COIN that they are a family member of Osipov (you have to search the page for Osipov, as the diff of addition got rev-deleted for another issue). Their edits overall are about promoting the two subjects above.
 * 2) two new SPAs voting at the AfD for WOWCube, Vatono (contribs) and Apristen contribs) are classic WP:DUCK based on their contribs above.
 * 3) User Petrosmith (contribs) has a Russian sandbox draft for Ilya Osipov and multiple edits to WOWCube.
 * 4) User Далатвл (contribs) is a blocked account whose only editing interest was WOWCube. ThatMontrealIP (talk) 15:05, 11 December 2019 (UTC)
 * 5) User Anna anufrieva may also be related, as they seem to be Ok with Iexeru removing 8K of deletion notices (some of which were for Ilya Osipov) from anufireva's talk page. S/he is also the creator of Draft:Ilya V. Osipov.ThatMontrealIP (talk) 17:18, 11 December 2019 (UTC)

Another new account (2 edits) voting at the AfD for WOWCube. WP:DUCK. Do I need to add the evidence/socks from the archived investigation here? Apologies if I have messed this up; it is the first time I have had to add a username to an archived case. ThatMontrealIP (talk) 08:02, 13 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Iexeru just disclosed in an unblock request that "all the office staff rushed to defend our position." (at the AfD). So that explains that. ThatMontrealIP (talk) 02:26, 14 December 2019 (UTC)
