Salutin' Putin: inside a Russian troll house | World news | The Guardian

This fucking story and the comment thread that proves it makes me want to smash my fucking phone and move to the woods. I can only hope that we will evolve as a culture enough to move beyond such base exploitation of human desire for personal interaction. Maybe all this internet can't replace the authenticity of a human being, standing and speaking before you. It's hard to hold writing on the bathroom wall accountable when you realize how much it stinks!

Check this out: Where do trolls live. How Internet provocateurs work in St. Petersburg and who rules them (dated: 09.09.2013)



This was a news here in Russia almost about two years ago. Looks like the Guardian has invented a time machine. I bet the next news will be the Kennedy's assassination or the first man in the outer space

P.S. Those trolls post even on popular Russian adult webmaster boards similar to GFY. I know their nicknames and I know they are getting paid for every single pro-Putin post there. All these scumbags will give you head for $5. Some of them will sell you their moms for $20. The low life waste will do anything for a few bucks.

I don't think there is a single thread on here related to Russia that you are not vigorously defending Russia in...

Mine? No. I don't work with scumbags, but I see you're the one who takes money from anybody. I know that at least one of them is your customer. He bought your FHG manager script and asked me to modify it and integrate with his CMS (course I've rejected that job). So ok, I don't blame you for that...

The same applies to you. At least I live there, but why are you so obsessed about my country?

Not true. He has his views but they are not as slanted as that. I think we are not used to how quickly a Russian will throw away facts and resort to name calling.

MetaMan, what do you think every time when you swallow a load? Do you pretend it's an ice cream? I'm not actually curious, but I don't understand how you fags make an excuse for yourselves.

obviously I was just messing around, hence the ->

you are right, he is more moderate, smarter and the debates with him are usually more civilized compared to others from that part of the world... generally he is probably a cool guy, just with different views... that's what makes it fun though, it has nothing to do with Russia, he just happens to usually have opposing views, so he is an easy target for some poking/trolling/debating/etc... it's all just for entertainment purposes...

GCHQ has tools to manipulate online information, leaked documents show | UK news | The Guardian

too bad that Guardian doesnt mention about Ukrainian trolls.........

anyone with common sense (yes I know, such rare ability these days) will easily move around propaganda from BOTH sides.

Actually it's not for entertainment (mostly). And yes, it works just perfect to me on webmaster boards (I don't post to plain entertainment resources)
