Ex-Russian 'troll' wins lawsuit against propaganda 'factory'

A former Russian internet "troll" has been awarded one rouble ($0.01) in damages after she sued her ex-employer to expose it as a propaganda "factory". Lyudmila Savchuk says she and hundreds of colleagues at Internet Research in St Petersburg flooded websites with pro-Putin commentary. A Russian court ordered the secretive agency to pay her symbolic damages. An agency representative said it did market research and he was not aware of "trolling" activities, reports say.
