    Your article doesn’t seem to mention Russia once.

    Feel free to read any other article that does, if you somehow have managed to avoid learning about russian influence campaigns over the last decade.

      You presented it as proof that Russia is supporting misinformation on the left. To be that, it has to both include all three parts of the claim – that there is disinformation on the left, that Russia is covertly supporting disinformation, and that some of the disinformation on the left was supported by Russia.

      If your wife sleeps around, and I engage in casual sex, it does not necessarily follow that I slept with your wife.


      A common suspicion in America is that Vladimir Putin believes that Trump as POTUS is good for Russia, and that Putin interferes with US politics with a specific goal of helping Trump.

      If you have some reporting that directly links Russia to left-wing disinformation I’d love to read it. But the BBC article I read after following your link didn’t have any such link.
