Good link. See too The Trolls Who Came In From The Cold, same (2015) era, same source.

The daily assignments -- shown in a document first published on March 11 by independent St. Petersburg newspaper My Region -- are usually drawn directly from pro-Kremlin media and go into sometimes excruciating detail about the message the bloggers and commenters are supposed to relay.

Same tactic used to steer the mass media in the US. Here is the script and a few talking points and lines of argument. Go out and ad lib following the script.

One Professional Russian Troll Tells All - March 25, 2015

Also a good read.

RFE/RL: Marat, can you recall the strangest or funniest task that your team was given?

Burkhard: The funniest was when U.S. President Barack Obama chewed gum in India and then spit it out. "You need to write 135 comments about this, and don't be shy about how you express yourself. Write whatever you want, just stick the word Obama in there a lot and then cover it over with profanities." In the assignment, there's always a conclusion you've got to make, it's already written, that Obama is a black monkey who doesn't know anything about culture. You stick him in ancient India and he chews gum there. It's funny in the sense that they're ready to grab onto any little thing. On the other hand, it's not funny. It's absurd and it crosses a line.
