It is noted that the website itself will allow identifying whether the posts and accounts, appearing from January 2015 to August 2017, are connected with Online Research Agency from St. Petersburg.
This company, known as the “factory of trolls”, was specified as one of those, which influences the public opinion in the interests of Russian authorities. Facebook employees characterize it as “the agent, attempting to disrupt democracy in the U.S.”
