REVEALED: Newly indicted Russian spy was helping to promote Donald Trump


The Justice Department announced that they indicted Elena Branson (a.k.a Elena Chernykh) on five charges Tuesday, calling her a Russian spy. While she had no direct contact with former President Donald Trump, she is yet another alleged Russian spy working to promote him within United States and organize people to attend his rallies.

The Daily Beast first reported in 2021 that the FBI was probing the Coordinating Council of Russian Compatriots of the U.S. (known colloquially by its Russian acronym KSORS). They worked to promote Russian voices and policies through a kind of speakers bureau throughout the country.

"Branson, 61, is also alleged to have tried to get Trump to attend the 2016 World Chess Championship, which was being held at New Yorkâ€s South Street Seaport," NBC News reported Tuesday evening. "Prosecutors said she emailed a Trump adviser on Nov. 10, 2016, asking that Trump, then the president-elect, attend the event. The FBI said in the court filing that it publicly released photos from the event to show it was attended by Dmitry Peskov, who is now Putin's press secretary. There is no indication that Trump attended."

Investigative reporter Scott Stedman reported for Forensic News that "investigators are also keenly interested in KSORS political activities, including rallying Trump supporters in 2020."

As The Independent report explained, the US Attorney's Office alleges that Branson communicated with high-ranking Russian, as well as Vladimir Putin himself, in an effort to open a "propaganda center" in New York City. She "received tens of thousands of dollars in funding from the Russian government" as she held events and worked on messaging directed by Russian officials the federal complaint says.

No.  That's the first part of the long article.

So yes that's what it said. If that's how it starts why would anyone read a "long article" filled with such vapid crap?

Because, as is noted above, this person talked directly to Putin and, besides being highly involved in the social media aspect, was integral in planning actually Pro-Trump events on US soil.  It also describes links between Branson and those involved with Popadopolous.

According to the British monthly Byline Times, Branson and colleague Sergey Gladysh promoted the “Trump 2020 Labor Day Cruise Rally” in Portland, Oregon on the KSORS Facebook page. Gladysh created the Russian-American Cooperation Initiative, which promoted Trump and distributed Russian propaganda that are still available on internet archive sites.

"The news website featured articles with the titles such as 'Second Trump term is crucial to prospect of better U.S.-Russia relations, safer world,' and “Biden victory will spell disaster for U.S.-Russia relations, warns billionaire," noted Stedman. "The billionaire referenced by the outlet is Oleg Deripaska, a key figure in the 2016 Trump campaignâ€s collusion with Russia."

Soviet-born theologian Mikhail Morgulis, who died in Nov. 2021, served on the board of KSORS between 2014 and 2018. He began a 2016 effort to rally Russian-Americans for Donald Trump. It continued in 2020.

To be honest, this was spot on….

Peace through strength and having an open dialogue is the only thing that these dictators respect.

That's a very vague description.  If you're referring to the narrative of Trump & Co. being knowingly involved in the social media interference, as the article references, then I'd agree that Trump & Co. were not involved.  

Is it clear that Putin wanted Trump to win?  Yes?  Is it clear that Trump & Co. were attempting to work with Russians and Wikileaks to acquire and release damaging information and emails to hurt Hillary?  Yes.
