How and where (55 Savushkina Street, St. Petersburg) Russia's troll army operates:

I found it ironic but not at all surprising that an article about paid trolls spamming the Internet with pro-Putin, anti-Western posts gathered in less than a day more comments than I had ever seen in any Guardian article -- most of them denying that such trolls exist. They would have been better off ignoring it.
I guess now we know just how much C.E. is paid.

The nondescript building has been identified as the headquarters of Russia’s “troll army”, where hundreds of paid bloggers work round the clock to flood Russian internet forums, social networks and the comments sections of western publications with remarks praising the president, Vladimir Putin, and raging at the depravity and injustice of the west. The Guardian spoke to two former employees of the troll enterprise, one of whom was in a department running fake blogs on the social network LiveJournal, and one who was part of a team that spammed municipal chat forums around Russia with pro-Kremlin posts. Both said they were employed unofficially and paid cash-in-hand. |
