An indictment alleges a media company linked to six conservative influencers — including Tim Pool, Dave Rubin and Benny Johnson — was secret
An indictment filed Wednesday alleges a media company linked to six conservative influencers were secretly funded by Russian state media employees to churn out English-language videos that were “often consistent” with the Kremlin’s “interest in amplifying U.S. domestic divisions in order to weaken U.S. opposition” to Russian interests, like its war in Ukraine.
They have millions of followers online. They have been major players in right-wing political discourse since Donald Trump was president. And they worked unknowingly for a company that was a front for a Russian influence operation, U.S. prosecutors say.
The official noted allegations of Russian influence in recent elections in Albania, Bosnia and Montenegro, all Eastern European countries that have faced historical pressure from Moscow.
Note:
Albania was not part of USSR but it had a communist political system after WW2 (during when Italy and Nazi invaded Albania) until the fall of the communist regime in 1991. EU had opened accession negotiations with Albania in 2020.
Although not part of USSR, Bosnia was part of the former Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia until it gained independence during the Bosnian war.
Similar to Bosnia, Montenegro was not part of USSR but it was part of the former Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia until the break up of Yugoslavia. After which it became Serbia and Montenegro until Montengro declared independence in 2006. Serbia is a Russian friendly country.
The socialist and communist history in these 3 countries left behind a heritage of close political ties with Russia. This is why they have rooms for Russian influences and inteferences.
