Internet Research Agency, Professional Trolls, Cold War Precedents
The report discusses the Internet Research Agency in St. Petersburg, describing it as a hub for professional trolls who began advocating for Donald Trump in 2015. It frames these activities as a continuation of Soviet-era intelligence efforts, citing a 1970s KGB recruitment of a Democratic activist. The discussion notes the absence of historical context regarding American politicians, such as Teddy Kennedy, reaching out to Moscow in the past.
