Evidence submitted by Grandmaster

Both accounts were created about the same time, and both are engaged in edit warring in the articles about musical instruments, especially duduk. Both accounts and the IP appear to belong to the same person. See how the same reference is removed by the IP [1], followed by Apserus after 4 minutes, [2] and then by Zvartnotz2: [3] [4].

Comments by other users

Apserus came from ruwiki, where he edits mainly AA topics (see contribs). There he was twice blocked, first time for disruption, second time for editwarring, see block log. Brand t] 11:41, 14 August 2009 (UTC) reply

•  Clerk endorsed - It looks pretty clear to me, but a CU would be useful to establish certainty. NW ( Talk) 00:44, 15 August 2009 (UTC) reply

Conclusions

•  Confirmed Apserus = The IP given
• Zvartnotz2 is  Unrelated to Apserus, however Zvartnotz2 has his own little sockfarm consisting of the two Orion* users I've listed above. -- Versa geek 01:03, 15 August 2009 (UTC) reply

I blocked Zvartnoz2 ( talk · contribs) for 24 hours for edit-warring with socks. Both of the Orion accounts were already blocked indefinitely as obvious socks. With regard to the subject of the case, I think the IP edit was just Apserus forgetting to log in, and in any regard there is no serious edit warring between the two, so I took no action with them.
