Leonid Volkov, an ally of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny, said that his face and deepfake filters had been used to trick British and Baltic MPs. Approximately 10 Estonian MPs communicated with the person posing as Volkov via a video bridge on March 18, Postimees reports. "The meeting took place, but this clearly constitutes identity theft," chairman of the foreign affairs committee of the Estonian parliament Marko Mihkelson (Reform) said. Member of the support group for freeing Alexei Navalny and former member of the foreign affairs committee Raivo Tamm (Isamaa) learned of the doppelganger through the media when fake Volkov gave an interview to a Latvian television channel.
