Interference in elections? Call the Russians

moscow - The Russian Foreign Ministry also appears to love a joke. The department presented on April 1 a new audio message for diplomatic missions abroad, which allows callers to request included help in manipulating elections.

'You have reached the Russian embassy. Your call is very important to us, 'the message said according to state news agency Sputnik. 'Press 1 to arrange a phone call from a Russian diplomat to your political opponents. Press 2 for the services of Russian hackers. Press 3 to request interference in elections. '

The joke is a nod to criticism from the West. So US intelligence suggests that Moscow has tried to influence the US presidential election to get Donald Trump at the White House. The Kremlin has always denied such accusations.

Western journalists informed according to the Ministry just yet whether it really was a joke. 'It is unfortunate that we have ruined their party. They were probably celebrating, 'wrote a spokesperson for the department on Twitter.
