# Project 2026: How a Russian Agency Plans to Seize Control of Neural Networks and Search Engines

![Red "FAKE NEWS" stamp on document — symbol of information manipulation in context of Project 2026 to control neural networks and search engines](https://xab.info/media/2026/06/24/proekt-2026-kak-agentstvo-planiрует-zaxvatit-nejroseti/proekt-2026-kak-agentstvo-planiрует-zaxvatit-nejroseti-1.webp)

Journalists have gained access to secret documents from the Russian entity "Social Engineering Agency." The materials, which came into the possession of the media agency, reveal details of a large-scale operation codenamed "Project 2026." At the heart of the plan is the creation of a global infrastructure for managing the information space.

### Creating an Alternative Reality

According to the leak, a private Russian organization has developed a strategy to build a complex network of resources. The plan involves launching reference sites that mimic the functionality of Wikipedia, as well as creating controlled media outlets and fictitious analytical centers. The main goal of this infrastructure is to shape a distorted understanding of political issues among both people and artificial intelligence systems.

Documents confirm that the task of the "Social Engineering Agency" is to establish strict control over primary sources of information on the internet. Operators understand that modern search engine algorithms and conversational chatbots rely on open encyclopedias and databases for training and generating answers. By filling this environment with adjusted data, the project aims to force AI to provide users with a predetermined interpretation of global processes.

### Technical Implementation and Network Scale

The leak confirms that the activities of Russian operators are already supported by the deployment of the corresponding network infrastructure. Schemes of interconnections and campaign coordination are clearly reflected in the graphic investigations attached to the documents.

A technical analysis of the involved resources, conducted using the security tool DomainTools Iris Investigate, demonstrates the systematic registration of target websites, domains, and platforms. These resources were planned to be used to launch fake analytical centers and news platforms.

All elements of this structure are to function within a single network coordinated by the aforementioned agency. This approach allows for scaling disinformation influence, creating an illusion of independent sources that are actually working towards a single task of distorting digital reality.
