作者：
Highlights：
• We sampled Russian Internet Research Agency tweets from the month preceding the 2016 U.S. Presidential election.
• We analyzed tweets to understand IRA messaging as well as differences between how types of IRA accounts communicated.
• Seven distinct categories of behavior were identified and categories were employed differently by account type.
• We discuss implications for what findings mean relative to prevailing and competing narratives surrounding IRA activity.
• Findings suggest the IRA was both sowing division while also supporting candidate Trump.
