Ownership information is not transparent; however, according to the NEO about page, its address is “12, Rozhdestvenka Street, office 111, Moscow.” The exact address is also used by “The Institute of Oriental Studies of the Russian Academy of Sciences.” Typically, the Putin government gives the Research Institutes’ control to the Ministry of Education; therefore, the Russian government funds and owns this journal through the Russian Academy of Sciences.

MBFC is ROFL, even when everything is clear, they publish some slop bordering on conspiracy theories.

If we click on the first link, we'll see that New Eastern Outlook is listed as a periodical of The Institute of Oriental Studies of the Russian Academy of Sciences on the website of said institution.

It looks like:

The Institute of Oriental Studies of the Russian Academy of Sciences: New Eastern Outlook is our periodical.

MBFC: Ownership information is not transparent!! You share the same adress!! That must mean something!!

Scientific studies[25] using its ratings note that ratings from Media Bias/Fact Check show high agreement with an independent fact checking dataset from 2017,[8] with NewsGuard[9] and with BuzzFeed journalists.[10] When MBFC factualness ratings of ‘mostly factual’ or higher were compared to an independent fact checking dataset's ‘verified’ and ‘suspicious’ news sources, the two datasets showed "almost perfect" inter-rater reliability.[8][20][26] A 2022 study that evaluated sharing of URLs on Twitter and Facebook in March and April 2020 and 2019, to compare the prevalence of misinformation, reports that scores from Media Bias/Fact Check correlate strongly with those from NewsGuard (r = 0.81).[9]
