New Eastern Outlook (NEO)

New Eastern Outlook (NEO) is an English-language Russian conspiracy site that describes itself as offering "unbiased expert opinions" on news ranging "from Japan to the remote coast of Africa". 

According to Newsguard, NEO is controlled by the Russian Academy of Sciences, known for publishing false information about the coronavirus pandemic and Covid-19 vaccines developed in the West.

In April 2020, the site published an article entitled ‘The Remarkable Doctor A. Fauci’, questioning the existence of HIV and the effectiveness of Covid-19 tests.

In March 2021 the Wall Street Journal reported that NEO is "directly linked to Russian intelligence" which they use to "spread propaganda and lies" about Covid-19.
