Local reporters have infiltrated a covert organization that hired young people as “Internet operators” near St. Petersburg and discovered that the employees are being paid to write pro-Kremlin postings and comments on the Internet, smearing opposition leader Alexei Navalny and U.S. politics and culture.

According to Lvova, each commenter was to write no less than 100 comments a day, while people in the other room were to write four postings a day, which then went to the other employees whose job was to post them on social networks as widely as possible.
Employees at the company, located at 131 Lakhtinsky Prospekt, were paid 1,180 rubles ($36.50) for a full 8-hour day and received a free lunch, Lvova wrote.

They’re easy to spot. They hijack threads under posts on the topic of Russian corruption.
I thought it was the White House...
Any idea how many times or places the United States has invaded neighboring sovereign nations in the wake of chaos to establish our idea of order to protect our national interests? Our sense of outrage is highly selective.
LOL!!
Here is the bottom line, Obama has established an Arab beachhead in the north of Africa, and now he is weakening the eastern walls of Europe.
What is the end game?
It aint pretty.
Lol. How many times in modern times have we invaded a neighboring country and stole their land?
“Any idea how many times or places the United States has invaded neighboring sovereign nations in the wake of chaos to establish our idea of order to protect our national interests? Our sense of outrage is highly selective.”
Such comments feed the false anti-American narrative or false propaganda which seeks to make the aggression of other nations somehow acceptable because the United States engages the aggressors in combat in defense of the victims of criminal aggression. The United States has in each instance engaged in warfare pursuant to the rights and duties of all sovereign nations to provide collective defense against unlawful aggression and aggressors by the Kellogg-Briand Pact and the Charter of the United Nations. There is nothing improper or unlawful for the United States to fulfill its treaty obligations and invade another state which is in unlawful breach of the peace and engaging in a criminal war of aggression against other states.
Interesting—but a little dated. (It appears to be an article from almost eight months ago.)
we did not grin like the Cheshire cat when we did it either..
The information in the article is background material relevant to earlier posts about the propaganda mills distorting the news coverage related to Russia’s invasion of the Ukraine. One of the recent news articles on the same topic referenced this earlier article and another earlier article. They demonstrate the online community has been besieged with paid Russian propagandists, not to mention paid Democrat and Soros propagandists.
“Democrat war rooms have been doing this since the Clintons. Maybe the Times can talk to George Stephanopoulos or FOX could talk to Joe Trippi...”
How come, then, there hasn’t been any scandal, any of these computer-filled rooms on the TV?
MSNBC branch office?
Ha! Ha! That's what I thought as well. Hey if it worked for Obamas election why not! All nations do it now because they know the masses will eat it right up.
We have it right here on FR...either you're a Old School Cold War Mongrel or a Putinista....and you MUST by all means choose one side or the other.
Not a chance...our media is censored from that.
"FR Cold War Social Network Operatives...lol"
They’re here on FR and they’ll post anything for $36.50 and a free lunch.
Wait a minute! George Stephanopoulos is a journalist, not a Democratic operative placed there to bend the news to his masters will.
Maybe, but there's plenty of Obamatrolls who are perfectly happy to work for free.
