  1. Russian Propaganda and the pro-Russian operatives who disseminate disinformation Russian shills, trolls, sympathisers and supporters often use the expressions, "I do not support any party.", "I've got no skin in the game" or "I am just telling it how I see it". In this way, they are claiming to be neutral parties to the discussion. These statements are often combined with directives like, "So in my opinion you should shut ur mouth" (sic) or something as simple as the word "stop !!". The script is often combined with an aggressive tone, "Why keep talking nonsense .... " and potential outcomes stated as though they were already proven fact, "In fact they are going to loose." (sic). These are all techniques in which members of such "cyber front Z" style "farms" and "factories", from Russian cities like St. Petersburg, are coached and schooled. People employed in these operations are paid and are required to meet quotas of a certain number of comments and responses during their shift. The contemporary Russian model for propaganda is categorised as “the fire-hose of falsehood” because of two of its distinctive features: a) high numbers of channels and messages and b) a shameless willingness to disseminate partial truths or outright fictions {lies}. In the words of one observer, “New Russian propaganda entertains, confuses and overwhelms the audience.” Contemporary Russian propaganda has other distinctive features. It is also rapid, continuous, and repetitive, and it lacks commitment to consistency. Inconsistency in the messages may be seen as favourable to the Russian narrative by creating a sense of confusion and the "burning off" of readers of these messages. In other words, such messages are not generally designed to inform but, instead, to dissemble, obfuscate and "muddy the waters", with the intention of creating confusion and distraction among readers and commenters in the comments list following videos. Additional characteristics are the use of personal abuse or insults, slander and recrimination towards the presenters of the video, the writer of a comment, or the content of the comment to which the operator is responding. Specific directives are also used. Often the idea is that no return response may be assumed to have indicated acceptance or compliance by the original writer of the comment to which the response, favouring the Russian position, is written. The directive may even be designed to discourage any further response. Such discouragement may be elicited because of disgust or simply withdrawal {with a figurative shrug of the shoulders} of the speaker opposing the Russian narrative, thereby seeming to confirm acceptance or compliance with the directive, by default. This implied confirmation or acceptance is designed to negatively affect uncertainty among other readers of the message and induce them to question their own established views on the subject, or the views of others.
