- TheOtherHobbes 7y agoIt's very poor English. I find it hard to believe that a state actor couldn't put together a spoof email written in good idiomatic English if it really wanted to. But from my limited experience of Russian troll farms they seem to be staffed by younger people who don't respect Westerners and think any action is a bit of a joke, so attention to detail may not be their main interest. They're effectively a kind of weaponised Russian version of 4chan, not a professional intelligence department or PR machine.
