Russian "trolls" attack

According to the "Washington Post" and "Guardian" millions of Russian paid "trolls" attack anybody who has anything negative to say about Russia in comments sections of The New York Times, CNN or Huffington Post as well as Facebook and Twitter. Existence of Russian Trolls was uncovered by the hackers from Anonymous International.

The Anonymous hackers broke into Russian servers where they found number of documents showing that those trolls are paid by the Russian government, well paid.

According to those documents each trolls on Russian payroll has to post 50 comments on various websites, maintain 6 profiles on Facebook and 10 accounts of Twitter and make at least 3 posts on each daily. Their motto: "I love Russia" or "Russia is OK".
