More and more, posts and commentaries on the Internet in Russia and even abroad are generated by professional trolls, many of whom receive a higher-than-average salary for perpetuating a pro-Kremlin dialogue online.
There are thousands of fake accounts on Twitter, Facebook, LiveJournal, and vKontakte, all increasingly focused on the war in Ukraine. Many emanate from Russia's most famous "troll factory," the Internet Research center, an unassuming building on St. Petersburg's Savushkina Street, which runs on a 24-hour cycle. In recent weeks, former employees have come forward to talk to RFE/RL about life inside the factory, where hundreds of people work grinding, 12-hour shifts in exchange for 40,000 rubles ($700) a month or more.
St. Petersburg blogger Marat Burkhard spent two months working at Internet Research in the department tasked with clogging the forums on Russia's municipal websites with pro-Kremlin comments. In the following interview, he describes a typical day and the type of assignments he encountered.

That would be unreasonable as well...like asking Jarrett to renounce Islam.
Meanwhile:
Can we find any other Federal Reserve Directors who have communist backgrounds ?
That is, is ValJar the lone communist at the Fed ?
I still think the whole communist/progressive thing is far-fetched, because Wall Street gave far more to Obama than his opponents.
How can the top echelons of finance support a President they know is a communist/progressive ?
I mean, unless there’s a pretty far-out conspiracy going on.
Most of the wealthy folks in America support the left. Duzzn’t make sense - right ? How can wealthy folks want to see a socialist or communist come to power ?
Vast left-wing conspiracy ?
Meanwhile, back at the thread...
What about those poor saps at the St. Petersburge Internet Research outfit ?
What’s the point ?
Our own media control efforts on our own public are what drives most American public opinion. I don’t see how any foreign operation from any other country is going to beat our big money people here at bamboozling us Americans.
Well that is just the it of it.....as you said..... "Our own media control efforts on our own public are what drives most American public opinion."...
...and the public is accustomed to being spoon fed rather than to seek what the rest of the world is reporting and make up their own mind on what is or not reality....they simply do not have the time...and the people with the agendas know this all too well.
We know massive corporations dominate the U.S. media landscape, both foreign and domestic, and through a history of mergers and acquisitions have concentrated their 'control' over what we see, hear and read.
Then you have the giants like Apple, Facebook and Google slowly reconstituting the Internet and the control of information while they try to steer us to their increasingly closed versions politically and otherwise.
You are amazing as much as your dad was, It’s a genetic thing.
Moreso. I am a God among mortal men; I do not walk, so much as levitate. I glow with an incandescent green hue, and static electricity crackles from my fingertips. My eyes are capable of emitting beams that bore through high-temperature steel. My brain is actually too large for my skull.
Kneel before Zod.
My take is that this group was employed largely to slug it out with Omidyar/Soros funded opponents on Russian/Ukrainian language social media.
Totally unsurprising.
The thing he said that always stuck with me was "once demoralization was set in motion, it was like a top--one generation infecting the next"(paraphrasing, obviously).
Absolutely what we have seen. Even if the money men/financial elites disappeared tomorrow we have so many diseased minds in key positions in society, I don't know how we could stop it at this point.
PC--you can lead the horses to water but you can't make them drink. (:
Butterdezillion: I have heard you on the H&H show. Nice work, you are very brave.
Kneel before Zod.
Yawn...
You need rest.
Jarrett and Barry are of the same cloth. They enter their professions hellbent on a mission to undermine America and bring our institutions in compliance with U.N./Agenda21/NWO globalist needs.
Burkhard: Our department commented on posts. Every city and village in Russia has its own municipal website with its own comments forum. People would write something on the forum -- some kind of news -- and our task was to comment on it. We did it by dividing into teams of three. One of us would be the "villain," the person who disagrees with the forum and criticizes the authorities, in order to bring a feeling of authenticity to what we're doing. The other two enter into a debate with him -- "No, you're not right; everything here is totally correct." One of them should provide some kind of graphic or image that fits in the context, and the other has to post a link to some content that supports his argument. You see? Villain, picture, link.
Sounds like a democrat war room... or Media Matters...
