“The web brigades, also known as Russia’s troll army, Russian bots, Kremlinbots,[1] troll factory,[2][3] or troll farms are state-sponsored anonymous Internet political commentators and trolls linked to the Russian government.
Participants report that they are organized into teams and groups of commentators that participate in Russian and international political blogs and Internet forums using sockpuppets and large-scale orchestrated trolling and disinformation campaigns to promote pro-Putin and pro-Russian propaganda.[4][5][6][7]
It has also been found that articles on Russian Wikipedia concerning the MH17 crash and the 2014 Ukraine conflict were targeted by Russian internet propaganda outlets.[8][9][10]”

Go on Russian social media and you will find a lot of happy people, whether talking about Putin or not. Mostly they like him. The people that don’t are the same globalists and fiends who hate our president.
Russia is no threat at all to us. I was as anti-Soviet as you come. This is a very different nation and leader than what I grew up with. I don’t believe the media on anything else. Why should I believe them about Putin?
