The Russian agents also organized schedule of publication. The aim was to achieve greatest possible “effect on choice”, said Vice-Justizminister rod Rosenstein.

As early as February, special investigator had 13 Russian citizens accusing m of being involved in disinformation campaigns on internet during 2016 election campaign.
