From the NY times article
Quote:
The job was not to put forward arguments, but to prompt a visceral, emotional reaction, ideally one of “indignation,” said Mr. Baranov, a psychoanalyst by training, who was assigned to write posts on Russian politics. “The task is to make a kind of explosion, to cause controversy,” he said.
When a post succeeded at enraging a reader, he said, a co-worker would sometimes remark, with satisfaction, Liberala razorvala. A liberal was torn apart. “It wasn’t on the level of discussing facts or giving new arguments,” he said. “It’s always a way of digging into dirty laundry.”

I'm still not sure who the Russians troll farms are attacking?
Quote:
“It’s a shame that Linda Sarsour damaged that movement by trying to inject into it noxious ideas that had no reason to be part of the Women’s March,” said Mr. Lancman, the former city councilman. “Unfortunately,” he added, Russians “seem very adept at exploiting these fissures.”

I could say the same thing about home grown American fagtards, who do the exact same thing. They never miss a chance to get a punch in, or try to drag some unrelated shit into every conversation. If they don't like what you are saying.
This russian shit sounds like agitation and trolling, more than any effort to somehow control Americans online. Shitfire man, maybe they are leaving stuff out, because I have seen way worse from actual people that are in no way Russian paid trolls.
They are doing it for free, and they are always online. They run Wikipedia now. They have gutfucked Reddit into a shitpile of shit, and every other platform, except X
