Description

The "3 Million Russian Troll Tweets" dataset comprises nearly 3 million tweets posted by Twitter accounts associated with the Internet Research Agency (IRA), a Russian troll operation investigated as part of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s probe into foreign interference in the 2016 U.S. election. Compiled by Clemson University researchers Darren Linvill and Patrick Warren using data from Twitter’s official lists of IRA-linked handles, the dataset covers activity from May 2015 to May 2018, with the bulk of tweets originating between 2015 and 2017.
