https://apps.dtic.mil/sti/trecms/pdf/AD1213704.pdf https://apps.dtic.mil/sti/trecms/pdf/AD1213704.pdf looks to be an excellent review of the subject, though I've only now discovered it and therefore haven't read it in detail yet.
E.g. "Russia has been trying to influence elections worldwide since the 17th century
