Now let's be fair - one of the dangerous things to assume is that anybody who espouses those opinions is necessarily a paid shill/troll. The issue is that there are a lot of people who actually genuinely have those views, and in many regards, that's a much more dangerous thing. And then there are still plenty of trolls will often troll for the sake of trolling.
Are there troll farms like this? Absolutely. But let's not put everything remotely pro-Russian into the troll farm bin now. That's a far more dangerous thing.
And if you're talking about ikalugin, nah, I know him from other forums, both English and Russian. And if he's paid to do that, he's surprisingly good - and a troll of that quality would probably deployed somewhere a little more trafficked than Subsim or Battlefront forums.
