    Adrian Chen, the New York Times reporter, conducted his own investigation into the Putin’s troll factory in St.Petersburg more than a year ago. He failed then to find out some proofs of existence of the Internet Research Agency LLC. But some events on the Internet like stove-pipings on the news resources and fake accounts of commentators were the undocumented proof that troll factory really exists and works. In the beginning of 2015 there was a conflict between the Agency and their former employee, Lyudmila Savchuk. All the known info about pro-Kremlin troll farm on the date of June 2 Adrian Chen collected in the article “The Agency”.

    Good thing Savchuk had enough of courage to reveal the truth. There seems to be still people in Russia who have liberal pro-western view. We should help such people as Lyudmila Savchuk to know more information about the agency and its employees. The internet must be free from Russian propaganda.

    I'd like the Internet to be free of any propaganda at all. Besides this, my country our country suffers because of these trolls work.
