Infamous Russian Troll Farm Appears to Be Source of Anti-Ukraine Propaganda
www.propublica.org
Experts say a recent wave of pro-Putin disinformation is consistent with the work of Russia’s Internet Research Agency, a network of paid trolls who attempted to influence the 2016 presidential election.

The whole thing is interesting, but some key copy + pastes from the article are below:

  • Russian Twitter Accounts That Disseminated Propaganda Posted Mostly During Working Days
  • The pro-Putin network included roughly 60 Twitter accounts, over 100 on TikTok, and at least seven on Instagram
  • The Internet Research Agency is a private company owned by Yevgeny Prigozhin, a Russian entrepreneur known as “Putin’s Chef.” Prigozhin is linked to a sprawling empire ranging from catering services to the military mercenary company Wagner Group, which was reportedly tasked with assassinating President Volodymyr Zelenskyy
