Putin's Trolls

A chilling account of Russian information warfare, shedding light on the individuals and organisations behind the Kremlin's coordinated, military-style social media psy-ops against the Western world. Award-winning journalist Jessikka Aro interweaves her own dramatic story as a target of Russian social media propaganda with accounts from many internationally known critics of the Kremlin, who share their own stories of being targeted by Russia's multifaceted cyber warfare campaigns. These actions were frequently conducted through an organised 'troll factory' using unregulated social media platforms.
