Anti-GMO propaganda from Russia?

I have not yet found the original material but several websites are reporting on a study showing very significant percentages of anti-GMO articles originating from Russian sources. Most I've found seem to link back to the Des Moines Register article. Shawn Dorius, an ISU assistant sociology professor.

Quote:

Turning the U.S. or world against GMOs "would have a clear negative effect on an industry in the U.S. and could advantage Russia," Dorius said.

Quote:

“RT accounted for 34% of the articles we scraped, followed by Sputnik (19%), Huffington Post (18%), Fox News (15%), CNN (8%), Breitbart News (6%), and MSNBC (<1%),” write the authors in the study.
