Elf Farm

Elf Farm (also Legion of Elves or "Elven Factory") is a project created by the Strategic Communications Center of the Free Russia Foundation under the leadership of Egor Kuroptev and Anton Mikhalchuk, named by analogy with Yevgeny Prigozhin's pro-Kremlin "Troll Factory". As part of the project, a network of hired commentators, for a fee, spread "anti-Kremlin/anti-Russian propaganda" from fake accounts on social networks, the main platform used was the social network VKontakte. The "productivity" of the factory was 160 thousand comments per month.
