Project Lakhta is the internal name for the operation that Yevgeniy Prigozhin‘s Internet Research Agency is running to interfere in elections across the Western world, according to the Robert Mueller indictments relating to the Russian attacks on the 2016 election.

In fact, prosecutions are still ongoing.
