Russia interference in EU elections

After Russia already did a "good job" with their disinformation and having their fingers in the US elections and the brexit "referendum", they now meddle with the upcoming EU elections.

"Russia is reportedly trying to give euroskeptic parties a boost ahead of the EU parliamentary vote in May. The EU's eastern neighbor has a track record of interfering in foreign elections."

"The goal here is bigger than any one election. It is to constantly divide, increase distrust and undermine faith in institutions and democracy itself"

Russia and far right spreading disinformation ahead of EU elections

Russia trying to meddle with in EU elections

EU versus disinformation

" ... a slow process of ideological subversion and psychological warfare that aims, over many years, to alter the target’s perception of reality and lead them to act in ways that benefit their opponent."

Good that they have so willing vicarious agents like Nigel Farage
