1. this is a preprint
2. they're comparing Russia (and other countries) to the USA, noting their covid mortality data has less variation than expected, therefore underdispersion, therefore undercounting and manipulation. (lmk if i got that right)
> We additionally tested all 85 Russian federal regions as well as all 60 public health jurisdictions in the USA. In Russia, 82 regions out of 85 were flagged for underdispersion ... In contrast, for USA
jurisdictions, not a single one showed underdispersion
