A federal indictment unsealed Wednesday alleges a Tennessee content creation company was the tool a team of Russian propagandists used to infiltrate U.S. audiences with Kremlin-backed messaging. The Tennessean reports that two employees of “Russia Today” were indicated for funneling nearly $10 million to an unnamed company to publish English-language videos on social media sites addressing issues such as immigration, inflation, and domestic and foreign policy. It appears the employees turned to the company after “Russia Today” was banned from operating in the U.S. following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The paper suggests that the company in question is Nashville’s Tenet Media.
