EXECUTIVE SUMMARY TO VOLUME I
RUSSIAN SOCIAL MEDIA CAMPAIGN
The Internet Research Agency (IRA) carried out the earliest Russian interference operations identified by the investigation- a social media campaign designed to provoke and amplify political and social discord in the United States. The IRA was based in St. Petersburg, Russia, and received funding from Russian oligarch Yevgeniy Prigozhin and companies he controlled. Priozhin is widely reported to have ties to Russian President Vladimir Putin (HARM to ONGOING MATTER)
This is interesting first in realizing the operations of the IRA are out of
St. Petersburg, Russia. St. Petersburg is the closest city in Russia to Europe. There is no doubt to me the reason the IRA is operating out of St. Peterburg is because the agents are exposed to European culture, news, tourists and economy. That is CULTURAL. In order for the IRA to be successful, they have to absorb the West's culture and carry that forward into it's cyber activities to effect the hearts and minds of citizens in The West.
The next issue is the idea of the Russian oligarchs. Are they truly autonomous in their activities or are they an arm of the Russian government. I sincerely believe there is little autonomy of the Russian oligarch class. When the collapse of the USSR occurred, what first emerged, other than having astronauts in space without a viable country, was the Russia oligarch class.
The Russian oligarch class showed up a great deal in the beginning in the New York Times. I was on the message boards at that time and everyone knew there was a "wealth class" in Russia. It makes a great deal of sense that would emerge and make the New York Times and it's message boards because it is Wall Street. Wall Street and it's minions would be very interested in wealthy people. There most noteworthy oligarch (I am not looking at notes right now for HIS name) was one that had his own jets. Not private jets, but, military jets. I think there was at least one military jet. I don't want to convey the idea there was an entire squadron. I do not believe the oligarch had a squadron to threaten anyone. But, there was at least one military jet owned by a Russian oligarch.
There is a lot that can be discerned from those bare bones information. It is my perception there are many classes of people in Russia. I know there is/was an entire city of scientists. We know from the experience with Ukraine that communists like to have "hamlets" of people controlled by wealthy/oligarch Russians. There is a strong reason for that. To begin it provides Russia with a great deal of control over people within Russia. If every oligarch is looking out for his own best interests within the Russian governing paradigm the control is conveyed as a condition of their wealth.
So, when realizing there was a staunch Russian as leader of Ukraine, Viktor Yanukovych when the Ukraine national military was disarmed although not dissolved (reconstituted when Yanukovych was ousted) it is very easy to then understand the questionably social structure of Russia as well. I say questionably because there is no free and open society in Russia. Every Russian citizen (citizenship, be it dual or not is very important to the people's LEGAL and WELCOMING identity) may be living and working, but, their lives are not their own. That is not to say the Russian people are not well managed as some of the artists, including ballet and some of the most beautiful art in any underground/subway is part of that country's legacy. That was nurtured under the USSR which existed after the Russian revolution. LENIN - Father of the country.
But, that is straying away from the investigation, except, in realizing Russian oligarchs are funding the IRA says it all, doesn't it? The IRA is a government agency, funded by an oligarch and acting from orders and influence of the KGB. End of that discussion. If anyone is dealing with oligarchs, they are also dealing with Russia. Period.
Yevgenly Prigozhin is known to have a close relationship with Putin and he is very diverse in his interests.

In a 2006 photo, Russian President Vladimir Putin (left) hosts U.S. President George W. Bush in St. Petersburg, Russia. At second right is Russian businessman Yevgeny Prigozhin, known as "Putin's chef." The U.S. has charged Prigozhin with running an Internet operation that interfered with the 2016 U.S. presidential election. He's also been sanctioned for supporting Russia's occupation in Ukraine.
In 2006, Russian President Vladimir Putin (click here) hosted a dinner for President George W. Bush and other world leaders in St. Petersburg, Russia. In a photo, the man standing behind them is the caterer, wearing a tux and a white bow tie. His name is Yevgeny Prigozhin.
His nickname is "Putin's chef." So what's the big deal about him?
"He epitomizes a real renaissance man in contemporary Russia, which is to say that he runs some very high-end restaurants," said Angela Stent, the head of Russian Studies at Georgetown University and author of the forthcoming book Putin's World....

So, literally, Yevgeny Prigozhin is not only an oligarch but also serves as Putin's chef. Get the taste of communism. It is needless to say both men are from the same political party in Russia. Additionally, soak in the moment. Here sits President George W. Bush in the same room, at the same table with Putin and they are eating the same meal. Overseeing all that is a major party member of Putin's party that is well vested in the idea Vladimir Putin should maintain his health. We aren't sure how the oligarch-chef sees the health of the USA's president. It would be a very awkward moment and would cause an international incident if "W" was found to become ill at or after the state dinner.
Now about the "Deep State." How invested is any government official in the USA to the intelligence agencies THAT SERVE the USA government? I would hope very. Why? Because they know a heck of a lot more than I do about the dangers facing women and men that work for the USA government, the women and men that serve in the USA military and the women and men that serve in intelligence to KEEP THE USA SAFE. I don't want to hear a word about "The Deep State." As a country, we have only begun to realize the depth of the work of our intelligence agencies with stories like this out of NPR and episodes where the federal government was defunded from something like two months. We learned just this year without "The Deep State" planes would not fly.
As to the man at the top of the Special Counsel, Robert Mueller. I don't want to hear how he is not trustworthy enough to sit under the capital dome and make testimony to the US Senate. Every Senator standing in disdain of Robert Mueller and his Special Counsel and the report should be REPLACED in the federal government. Robert Mueller would never compromise this country or taint the political environment. NEVER.
NEVER.
