When searching for ISIS in Russian (“ИГИЛ”) on Google Maps, the result is the Moscow office address of the television channel Zvezda, a national network run by the Russian Ministry of Defense. The likely culprit is Google’s Map Maker tool, which it temporarily disabled earlier this year, after a series of vandalism acts. (According to Google, the Map Maker tool has been reinstated in Russia.)

A search for “ISIL” in Russian directs users to the Moscow office of the television channel Zvezda.
