Fundada en San Petersburgo en 2013, la Internet[1] Fundada en San Petersburgo en 2013, Internet Research Agency (IRA) es una empresa rusa conocida por sus operaciones de influencia y propaganda en Internet. Vinculada al oligarca ruso Yevgeny Prigozhin y a los intereses del Kremlin, la IRA utilizó tácticas como la creación de perfiles falsos en redes sociales y la orquestación de protestas físicas y en línea para influir en la opinión pública. La agencia se ganó la infamia por su supuesto papel en la intromisión en las elecciones presidenciales estadounidenses de 2016, lo que dio lugar a su inculpación por el Departamento de Justicia de Estados Unidos en 2018. También conocida como "Trolls de Olgino", la IRA empleaba a más de 1.000 blogueros y comentaristas asalariados cuyo principal objetivo era promover los intereses del Kremlin y desacreditar a sus adversarios. La agencia se disolvió en 2023 debido a su asociación con la sublevación del Grupo Wagner.

La agencia fue mencionada por primera vez en 2016, cuando el periodista ruso Andrey Zakharov publicó su investigación sobre la "fábrica de trolls" de Prigozhin. El informe de enero de 2017 publicado por el Comunidad de Inteligencia de Estados Unidos - Evaluación de las actividades e intenciones rusas en las recientes elecciones estadounidenses - describió la agencia como un granja de trolls: "El probable financiador de la llamada Agencia de Investigación de Internet de trolls profesionales ubicada en San Petersburgo es un estrecho aliado de [Vladimir] Putin con vínculos con la inteligencia rusa", comentando que "antes se dedicaban a apoyar las acciones rusas en Ucrania-[y] empezaron a abogar por el candidato Trump ya en diciembre de 2015".
La agencia empleó a cuentas falsas registrado en mayor redes socialesforos de debate, periódico online sitios, y servicios de alojamiento de vídeo para promover los intereses del Kremlin en doméstico y política exterior incluyendo Ucrania y Oriente Medio, así como intentar influir en las elecciones presidenciales de Estados Unidos de 2016. Al parecer, más de 1.000 empleados trabajaban en un solo edificio de la agencia en 2015.
El grado en que la agencia trató de influir en la opinión pública utilizando las redes sociales se conoció mejor después de que en junio de 2014 un Noticias BuzzFeed ampliaba en gran medida los documentos gubernamentales publicados por piratas informáticos a principios de ese año. La Internet Research Agency acaparó más atención en junio de 2015, cuando se informó de que una de sus oficinas tenía datos de cuentas falsas utilizadas para sesgos Trolling en Internet. Posteriormente, aparecieron noticias sobre personas que recibían una compensación económica por realizar estas tareas.
