MOSCOW — Igor Trollstoy, head of the Russian Department of American Election Manipulation, today announced a major new breakthrough in Russia’s efforts to manipulate and undermine the upcoming 2024 American elections. Codenamed Robotroll, the robotic lie spreader will be a powerful new source of election meddling, using easily manipulated social media platforms to swamp American voters with misinformation and propaganda about candidates deemed unsupportive of Russian causes, particularly the continuing war in Ukraine. “In the upcoming presidential election, there is one candidate who supports assisting a democratic ally in defending itself against a hostile invasion, and one who has encouraged Russia to attack American NATO partners and has been a longtime friend of President Putin. It should be obvious which candidate will be getting support from Robotroll,” said Trollstoy.

Russia’s Department of Election Manipulation has already been very active and effective in spreading misinformation about American candidates, utilizing AI created deepfake videos and recordings. “We are very proud of our successes in portraying President Biden as senile, corrupt and ineffective, with no factual support whatsoever and in spite of mountains of evidence to the contrary, to millions of American voters,” said Trollstoy. With Robotroll’s powerful, efficient capacity to spread misinformation and lies, we will even more effectively increase polarization and paranoia among American voters. Robotroll is just the tool to aid American politicians who are supportive of Russian causes, and to convince American voters that what’s good for Russia is also good for America.”
