Suspected sockpuppets
These editors do the same edits on the same pages. Sasha-Int was accused of WP:COI editing on these pages in 2021. The accounts have in common that the remove negative RS content about the subject (who is a Russian oligarch) and add puffery. The IP editors use the exact same language as Sasha-Int in edit summaries, see "updated in line with" language: The IP editors did the exact same edit with the same summary: Snooganssnoogans (talk) 13:40, 12 March 2022 (UTC) Snooganssnoogans (talk) 13:40, 12 March 2022 (UTC)

 * , since no block evasion has occurred and the account did not edit during the same time frame as the IPs. Blocked as a promotion-only account, per WP:DISRUPTONLY. Behavioral evidence indicates that the listed IPs are operated by the owner of the Sasha-int account, so I have blocked each of the IP addresses for 1 month. Thanks for reporting this. —  Newslinger   talk   17:55, 13 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Upon review of the technical evidence, I've unblocked for being an IP address from a mobile carrier known for sharing IP addresses between multiple users. (The other two IP addresses were registered to European hotels.) The behavioral evidence for 213.205.240.20 is weaker than the evidence for the other two IPs, so I've unblocked this one to reduce collateral damage, since the protection on the affected article – Andrey Melnichenko (industrialist) – is already handling any disruption. —  Newslinger   talk   01:20, 14 March 2022 (UTC)
