Using the press-service of this company, Russian oligarch and Russian President Vladimir Putin’s trusted associated Yevgeny Prigozhin admitted having interfered with with elections in the U.S.
The U.S. imposed sanctions on him for interfering with elections. He is also wanted by the FBI.
As reported by Radio Freedom, Prigozhin agreed to comment reports that stated how American analysts uncovered activity of internet trolls on websites dedicated to elections the eve of a mid-term vote in November. Analysts believe those commentators have ties to Russia.
Prigozhin’s company provided his statement:
«Gentlemen, we interfered, we are interfering and we will interfere. Carefully, precisely, surgically and the way we do it, the way we can. During our pinpoint operations, we will remove both kidneys and the liver at once.»
On 3 November Graphika firm, which analyses content from social networks using artificial intelligent technologies, published a report in which analysts of the company claim that internet trolls – believed to be Russians – were spreading caricatures considered offensive to U.S. Democratic party candidates.
On 29 October analysts found six caricatures depicting U.S. democratic candidates.
Caricatures were traced to a website called Newsroom for American and European Based Citizens (NAEBC), which is primarily frequented by people of conservative views.
NAEBC is believed to have ties with St. Petersburg-based Russian Internet Research Agency, which is believed to be the so-called Prigozhin’s troll farm.
