The Yuri Gadyukin Wikipedia Hoax (2013)
I had a feeling that Gadyukin sounded wrong, and sure enough. So I guess they were foiled by not having basic Russian knowledge.

It doesn't sound wrong, actually. It's a surname produced from the Russian word for "viper" (гадюка), which would make it unusual due to negative connotations, but not incorrect.

Ah, okay. Still, it's not a real surname, which caught them out.
