Who are the 13 Russians indicted by the US?
Moscow, (MILLAT ONLINE):The 13 Russians indicted by the United States for interfering in its 2016 presidential election have been connected to a “troll factory” churning out online posts aimed at influencing public opinion.
The list is topped by Yevgeny Prigozhin, a businessman close to the Kremlin who has been linked to the secretive propaganda operation by Russian media, but who has denied meddling in elections.
He has brushed off the indictment, telling RIA Novosti state news agency: “I am not at all upset that I am in this list. If they want to see a devil, let them.”
The unsealed US indictment said that those on the list except Prigozhin worked in various capacities for the Internet Research Agency, the name of the “troll factory” in the northwestern city of Saint Petersburg that allegedly worked to “interfere with the US political system.”
The indictment said that Prigozhin and companies he controlled allegedly provided the agency with funding.
Prigozhin has denied any connection with the Internet Research Agency, Interfax news agency reported.
