TL;DR Summary

The Russian government has become more successful at manipulating social media and search engine rankings than previously known, according to leaked documents. The documents reveal that Russia has boosted lies about Ukraine's military and vaccine side effects with hundreds of thousands of fake online accounts. The Russian operators of those accounts boast that they are detected by social networks only about 1% of the time. The undated analysis of Russia's effectiveness at boosting propaganda on various social media platforms cites activity in late 2022 and was apparently presented to U.S. military leaders in recent months.
