Kremlin Trolls Exposed: Russia's Information War Against Ukraine
While the devastation of Russia's war in eastern Ukraine is easy to spot, the virtual battle between Moscow and the West remains covert. Thousands of internet users flood social media, promoting the Kremlin’s position to the rest of the world. Lies and manipulation are their weapons. They're always online, yet their profiles are void of personal information. Their intention is to propagate violence and aggression. They are Kremlin trolls.

What
is the salary of Russian trolls for Putin`s propaganda? - Bild
Now
the whole world discusses odious President of the USA Donald
Trump. World community was shocked by Trump win. Interesting fact
that a great part of Americans themselves don`t support political
strategy of president they elected.
So,
let`s recall that no long ago the White House published a sanction
list of
Russians who
allegedly helped
to interfere in
U.S. presidential election.
A
young Russian hacker Alisa
Shevchenko was one of them. Shevchenko
denied the accusations in cyberattacks,
claiming that she is just a hacker who
helped businesses
identify weaknesses in their online security. She
insisted that her small company didn`t work for Russian government,
claiming that the White House had either been tricked by “counterfeit
in order to frame her company” or had “misinterpreted the facts.”
In
the meantime the documents of CIA, FBI and NSA
prove
that
Putin
personally
ordered
to run a campaign objectivized to influence the results of the
election, the
Bild
reports.
Alisa
Shevchenko is not the first young Russian woman who works for Putin
in cyberspace. As far back as 2015 world
got to know the story of Ludmila
Savchuk, Russian government`s troll. Her main task was to agitate
for Putin in social media, on forums, make
comments and defame his enemies abroad.
«Putin is a genius», «Ukrainians are
fascists», «Europe is decaying» are the examples of her comments
written by Kremlin`s order.
Security
services with other governmental organizations analyze Internet space
and public sentiments in social media in Russia and some Western
countries, taking into consideration age, sex, education background
and origin.
In
July 2016, journalists of the Bild visited trolls factory in
St.Petersburg where Savchuk was working at that time. One Russian
woman said that «atmosphere is poisoned, propaganda is everywhere,
families break down». About 400 people at the age of 20 to 30 were
working there at that moment. They got salary of 640-800 euro a
month, it`s a big sum for Russians».
