History
Pravda Hungary is a Russian-state-backed disinformation website that is designed to impersonate a legitimate news source. It is part of the Pravda Network, a Moscow-based conglomerate of at least 193 websites, each tailored to specific languages and regions. The network was first identified by France’s VIGINUM agency in 2024 and is structured to mimic real news outlets while promoting pro-Kremlin narratives and anti-Western propaganda.
The Pravda Network lacks transparency, as it does not disclose its ownership, editorial policies, or funding sources. The network is part of a larger Russian disinformation ecosystem, aiming to influence global public opinion in favor of the Kremlin.
