Russia: “Commissars of the Internet” · Global Voices
Veronica Khokhlova

Read this week's installments of La Russophobe‘s translation project, which attempts to explain why the discourse at so many Russian forums often gets so unbearably filthy – and which, according to La Russophobe, also “exposes how the Kremlin is attempting to take control of the Internet. On Monday, we read the author's introduction to the subject of ‘Internet Brigades.’ On Tuesday, we learned the details about their organization and activities. On Wednesday, we examined their ideology and strategy. This is the final installment this week, with the second part of this epic Russian investigative work appearing next week.”
