Two RT Employees Indicted for Covertly Funding and Directing U.S. Company that Published Thousands of Videos in Furtherance of Russian Interests
Wednesday, September 4, 2024

Employees of Russian State-Controlled Media Outlet Deployed Nearly $10 Million to Publish RT-Curated Content, Which Garnered Millions of Views, Through a Tennessee-Based Online Content Creation Company

An indictment charging Russian nationals Kostiantyn Kalashnikov, 31, also known as Kostya, and Elena Afanasyeva, 27, also known as Lena, with conspiracy to violate the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) and conspiracy to commit money laundering was unsealed today in the Southern District of New York. Kalashnikov and Afanasyeva are at large.

“The Justice Department has charged two employees of RT, a Russian state-controlled media outlet, in a $10 million scheme to create and distribute content to U.S. audiences with hidden Russian government messaging,” said Attorney General Merrick B. Garland. “The Justice Department will not tolerate attempts by an authoritarian regime to exploit our country’s free exchange of ideas in order to covertly further its own propaganda efforts, and our investigation into this matter remains ongoing.”

“Our approach to combating foreign malign influence is actor-driven, exposing the hidden hand of adversaries pulling strings of influence from behind the curtain," said Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco. “As alleged in today’s indictment, Russian state broadcaster RT and its employees, including the charged defendants, co-opted online commentators by funneling them nearly $10 million to pump pro-Russia propaganda and disinformation across social media to U.S. audiences. The Department will not tolerate foreign efforts to illegally manipulate American public opinion by sowing ** and division.”

Apparently Russian interference is not a problem if you were already susceptible to Russian propaganda and just happened to be accepting a $100k a week of Russian cash, so say the Trumpies.

Russia, if you are listening, Trump needs more help.

Marco Rubio Defends MAGA's Role In Russian Disinformation As 'Victims'
“They were victims, they were targets of a fraud in which someone posing as just a regular investor had Russian money behind them,” said Rubio.
September 6, 2024

Just when you think Marco Rubio can't go any lower he stoops to this, defending Russian shills against the interests of the United States. just innocent victims taking their $100k a week and not asking questions.

History will look back on this era as one of the most perverse in American political history.

And as the New Republic notes, Rubio is echoing what other Republicans are also saying, like Matt Gaetz, pundits like Ben Shapiro, and even Trump himself.
