A Russian bot farm tried to influence Armenia’s elections
According to researchers, the campaign closely resembled the tactics used ahead of Moldova’s elections.
In May, the number of anti-government and anti-EU posts in Armenian social media increased nearly tenfold.
Many of these comments were posted by the same accounts, which simply copied identical messages and spread them across different platforms.
The goal was simple: to create the impression that “everyone thinks this way,” even though the narrative was being artificially amplified by bots.
