      Ever wonder why mainstream social media feeds were filled with right wing content, and far right comments? Or why left-wing communities get hijacked by people saying you should not vote, or only vote for super far left pro-russia parties.

      Behold the “Russian Web Brigades” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_web_brigades

      To avert suspicions, the users sandwich political remarks between neutral articles on travelling, cooking and pets.[25] They overwhelm comment sections of media to render meaningful dialogue impossible.[39][40]

      This is why I left reddit. I would say 1 in 10 accounts is one of these. It is crazy.

      Putin’s idea of making Russia stronger of bringing everyone else down to their level, instead of making actual improvements in Russia.
