This is not correct and I've posted a link to the Nature Communications article elsewhere - https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-022-35576-9

the same one that was found to have directly affected the election of the US

Exposure to the Russian Internet Research Agency foreign influence campaign on Twitter in the 2016 US election and its relationship to attitudes and voting behavior

We demonstrate, first, that exposure to Russian disinformation accounts was heavily concentrated: only 1% of users accounted for 70% of exposures. Second, exposure was concentrated among users who strongly identified as Republicans. Third, exposure to the Russian influence campaign was eclipsed by content from domestic news media and politicians. Finally, we find no evidence of a meaningful relationship between exposure to the Russian foreign influence campaign and changes in attitudes, polarization, or voting behavior.

With the outbreak of the Second World War, the German Army High Command (the OKH) assumed its wartime organisation. Heusinger accompanied the field staff and assisted in the planning of operations for the invasions of Poland, Denmark, Norway, and France and the Low Countries.

Heusinger temporarily assumed his office as Chief of the General Staff of the Army. In this capacity, he attended the meeting at Hitler's Wolf's Lair on 20 July 1944, and he was standing next to Hitler when the bomb exploded.

Heusinger made available all information that he had on the conspirators who had plotted against the Führer. He reaffirmed that he had not participated in the assassination plot since he still felt an obligation to fulfil his duty as a soldier of the German Reich

Heusinger was later appointed head of the West German military from 1957 to 1961 as well as Chairman of the NATO Military Committee from 1961 to 1964.

There was this last year:

Yevgeny Buzhinsky, a retired Russian commander, called for strikes on Britain with Poseidon torpedoes, which he claimed would cause a 1,000-foot radioactive tidal wave. He warned during a TV program on Rossiya 1, a nationwide public state TV channel.

I think it's really directed towards the US though, given the reported ability of the nuclear torpedoes to travel for weeks autonomously, the vulnerability of US Pacific bases and the US East Coast and that the US has always been keen to both first strike Russia and invest in strategic missile defense to address a retaliatory strike.

It's difficult to implement and the actual benefits in current material conditions are uncertain. Socialist states aren't suffering major shortages or excesses of goods they produce (at least in a way amenable to better central planning).

The value of cybernetic central planning would really come into play when you are talking problems like "how do we ensure every human on Earth has a decent standard of living".

Obviously I'd rather think independently and be right?
