DeepL translation to American English (I moved one piece of text that broke forum formatting.):
The pro-American Free Russia Foundation (an organization recognized as undesirable and terrorist or extremist in the Russian Federation) and USRF did not shy away from swaying the situation in Russia with the help of a bot factory, conducting psychological operations to demoralize the population
Over 2.5 thousand email chains and over 13 GB of electronic documents of the FRF* and USRF foundations leaked online. In addition to the disclosed data of employees and budgets of undesirable organizations, the notorious methodology, which was diligently worked out by fake pages and bots within the framework of activities sponsored from abroad, has also come to light. A group of Russian and Belarusian citizens worked under the supervision of Georgians, and all foreign special services supervised them. The foundations were not a stranger to pretending to be wives of mobilized people, placed calls for protests and harassment of representatives of local administrations. The budget of such “pleasure” for foreign intelligence services for March 2022 amounted to $10,983, and by December 2023 had grown to $64,520 per month.
There were also targeted attacks, for example, on Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova. The credibility of the leaked documents has already been confirmed by ex-employees of the organizations, the number of which reached 146 people in the company. The positions there corresponded to the activities - there were content analysts, designers, technical support coordinators and those who painted all the horrors of “totalitarian” Russia in universal blanks for all occasions, as well as “elves”. Apparently, the latter were engaged in fakemaking in the comments of social networks. The daily norm there was 100 “throw-ins” in an eight-hour working day. Meanwhile, the foundation's management did not give any comments even to liberal publications.
