schema:articleBody	A man impersonating jailed Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny's right-hand man took part in video calls with Baltic lawmakers and a British MP in what Lithuania called "information attacks". Leonid Volkov, who currently lives in exile in Lithuania, is responsible for running the regional offices of Navalny's anti-corruption movement. The Volkov impostor held video calls last month with Estonian, Lithuanian and Latvian lawmakers as well as with Tom Tugendhat, head of the British parliament's foreign affairs committee. "During the past few weeks, information attacks were carried out against Estonian, Lithuanian, and Latvian politicians," Lithuania's foreign ministry said in a statement. "These attacks were meant to spread false information, discredit Russian opposition and undermine Baltic politicians' support for it," it said. Marko Mihkelson, the head of the Estonian parliament's foreign affairs committee, said: "You don't have to be a rocket scientist to guess that the Russian secret service was behind this." Mihkelson said the impostor was knowledgeable and knew, for example, which way all the lawmakers on the committee had voted in a statement on Navalny. But he said the false Volkov was not able to provide an update on Navalny's health in prison. The real Volkov blamed the incident on two Russian pranksters known as Vovan and Lexus who regularly pull off high-profile pranks on the famous and the powerful -- but target mostly Kremlin foes. Volkov said on Facebook he was impressed by the "scale" of the deception and he believed a real image may have been manipulated in the video calls to make it look as if it was really him speaking -- a possible "deepfake". bur-dt/amj/bp
