Seeking to shine some light into the dark world of Internet trolls, a journalist with Finland’s national broadcaster asked members of her audience to share their experience of encounters with Russia’s “troll army,” a raucous and often venomous force of online agitators.
The response was overwhelming, though not in the direction that the journalist, Jessikka Aro, had hoped.
As she expected, she received some feedback from people who had clashed with aggressively pro-Russian voices online. But she was taken aback, and shaken, by a vicious retaliatory campaign of harassment and insults against her and her work by those same pro-Russian voices.
“Everything in my life went to hell thanks to the trolls,” said Ms. Aro, a 35-year-old investigative reporter with the social media division of Finland’s state broadcaster, Yle Kioski.

For Ms. Aro, the abuse increased sharply last year when, following up on reports in the opposition Russian news media, she visited St. Petersburg to investigate the workings of a Russian “troll factory.” The big office churns out fake news and comment, particularly on Ukraine, and floods websites and social media with denunciations of Russia’s critics.

Rattler, ya still mad Trump was elected?
If we so-called Russian trolls helped Trump get elected, shouldn’t you be happy we stopped Hillary?
Back into Hillary’s Russia, Russia, Russia stash again I see. Cutting it with a little of the Uke Biden/Soros/Obama psychedelics for a wild trip. Go for it, looks like the Hillary lies you’ve ingested have already blown your mind.
no, you Russian trolls tried to stop Trump, because you knew he’d be tough with Russia
The OP is a Trump hater. He left this site while Trump was president and only returned after Biden was installed. Don’t take my word for it— check out his posting history.
I am quite surprised some entity has not harnessed the millions of Ukrainians displaced to Poland, and even Western Europe, to counter the long standing army of Russian trolls and tools.
I think what Russia wanted was disruption and a continually attacked and weakened Trump. Putin probably could not believe it when Biden won — and then accelerated his plans after Biden did everything Pooty could have hoped for...
“Troll army” kicking ass and taking names...
“The irretrievable losses of the Armed Forces of Ukraine as of October 20, 2022 amounted to 402,000 people , of which 387,000 were killed . Losses among mercenaries and volunteers from Poland, the Baltic States, Romania amounted to 54,000 of them killed 31,240 people. These are the OSINT data , calculated using reports from funeral agencies, extracts from mortuaries, as well as the results of an analysis of the radio, cellular and satellite exchange of forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
The media also report that the Committee of Soldiers’ Mothers of Ukraine allegedly prepared more than 320,000 appeals “about the fate of the missing soldiers”, but the SBU banned them for national security purposes......”

Ukrainian losses so far - 326 airplanes and 164 helicopters, 2,356 unmanned aerial vehicles, 383 air defense missile systems, 6,130 tanks and other armored fighting vehicles,
876 fighting vehicles equipped with multiple rocket-launching systems, 3,532 field artillery cannons and mortars, as well as 6,823 units of special military hardware
have been destroyed during the special military operation.
I don’t know about the existence of Russian trolls, but it’s plain as day there are Washington trolls.
No, NYT will keep alive the "Trump was a Russian Agent" FBI-fakery forever, by regularly throwing out "Russian troll" scraps to its neocon/leftist monkeys
The irretrievable losses of the Armed Forces of Ukraine as of October 20, 2022 amounted to 402,000 people , of which 387,000 were killed .
A ridiculous number. Given normal KIA to wounded, missing, and POWs ratios would imply millions of casualties for Ukraine.
Been reporting this over the months, and yet, mule-headed pro-Ukrainian junkies just remain IN DENIAL, to include you....

I am NOT a pro-Ukraine junkie. I’ve been called a Putin puffer too because I think we have no business getting involved other than giving humanitarian aid and sponsoring peace negotiations.
My bad then, I suppose we in the same category/club.
Did the research and you are 100% correct...thanks for the heads up. 👍👍👍
So we worked with Hillary to stop Trump by getting Trump elected?
