u.s. election.drienne chen first wrote about that particular troll farm in 2015, saying how russian intelligence was developing this capacity to basically screw with true narratives on the internet, putting people to work doing the stuff to prank and provoke and scare people, yeah, in russia and ukraine but also in the west, also in the united states. spreading lies about hooks shootings and chemical leaks and explosions that never took place. why were they doing this? why were they spending all these government resources to develop that capacity? basically just to be jerks online. well, that piece was published in june 2015, way before the u.s. election got into full swing. but a few months later, adrienne chen noticed something strange about those internet research agency trolls that he'd been reporting on for that article. check out his description of what he was seeing about what had become of that troll farm after he finished his report. this is what he said about it in december 2015. >> i crea

u.s. election with the purpose of helping donald trump when packing and leaking that the administration says the russians carried out connect the dots russia did it and while those claims were never backed up by any solid evidence just a lot of speculation and hearty assurances that hasn't stopped the world from pointing the finger at moscow and also predicting that the big bad kremlin would do the same again in europe the russian hacker scene is huge german security agencies and cyber experts are alarmed own evidence points to russia that's why we cannot rule it out why we are preparing for a similar efforts to influence germany's election many warn that the upcoming german elections would be a prime target for those pesky russian hackers so security was bumped up and investigations were launched but even a year long search by german intelligence for potential russian interference failed to uncover any evidence of kremlin backed meddling or not though that hasn't stopped anyone from seeing russia as democracies enemy number one a recent article by the washington post examines what sinister
