    It’s the same in my Eastern European country - Russians run two troll campaigns:

    • to disenfranchise any pro-democratic voters, with slogans like “all candidates are shit and corrupt, you should hate them, politics, and the whole democratic process”

    • to boost nationalist, far-right, anti-establishment parties - there are several of them to cast a wider net over the electorate, and they can assemble together to run their always pro-Russian politics after getting in Parliament

    It’s the dame playbook everywhere they care to get results and undermine their enemies.
