The German foreign ministry, which commissioned the study after suspecting it was being targeted by bots, said the findings highlighted the need for governments to systematically tackle the growing number of disinformation campaigns and recognise the effect they could have on elections.

All I’m seeing in this article is that ruskie trollfarms cranked out both pro and con propaganda, just like they do for literally everything. It is legit actually part of FSB standard practice LONG before they tried to meme. Just look at how their own government news does it constantly.
But I don’t see any parts where it says liberals accused russia of starting the riots.
I see a lot of info about studies that showed that those groups did output a ridiculous amount of memes intending to rile up folks, but I don’t see evidence of liberals blaming the riots on russia.
It’s funny, you’re using russian troll farm techniques and now I’m going to spend a few minutes going over your post history.
I don’t have a sourced archive of all the stupid shit I come across on the internet, but if you google “Russia BLM” there are many articles from liberal newspapers being concerned about the worrying influence of Russia on BLM.
And here is a British politician spreading conspiracy theories about Russia and BLM:

Have fun in my post history, maybe if you take the first letter of every post it spells out “IM A RUSSIAN TROLL”.
But again, EVEN THEN, just paying a few people to go out to protest doesn’t start a protest.
They put in effort to make it worse, sure, that’s what they do.
But they didn’t start it. Hell technically BLM didn’t even start it just rode the wave of already high strung public sentiment.
Oh I don’t think you are a russian troll, but I DO think you are a troll that isn’t creative enough to make your own tactics so borrow the well publicly documented format of russian state sponsored trolling.
Something tells me you’ve spent scholarly time reading the Gentleman’s guide to forum disruption.
You stated no one said Russia instigated BLM riots and I gave you a clear example, now you’re just moving the goalposts.
And not everyone with a different worldview than you is a troll, people have different opinions that’s why politics exists.
