An independent group says it has documented Russian interference in the elections or political activities of at least 27 countries since 2004. The group, the non-profit German Marshall Fund, studies public policy around the world. It said that Russia has been involved in disinformation campaigns on Facebook, Twitter and other social media, in addition to attacks on computers. The German Marshall Fund reported these claims at a hearing of the Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe, also called the Helsinki Commission. The meeting took place last week in Washington, DC. The Helsinki Commission met to discuss what it called the scourge of Russian disinformation being spread both at home and overseas.
