Headline:
Russian pro-government commentators operate in the American Internet.

The confirmation has appeared that there is a paid team of pro-kremlin commentators operating on the Internet.

“Anonymous International” exposed the activity of the “Agency of Internet investigations” — an organization that is being financed from the budget, which through the use of fake comments creates an illusion of the support of kremlin regime on the Internet.

Here is the website, where the situation is described (in Russian) — http://b0ltai.wordpress.com

Here are the archives of emails (in Russian):

It was found that Russian "trolls" work in areas such as:
1. Leading U.S. information portals (WND, TheBlaze, Politico, Huffingtonpost);
2. Facebook;
3. Twitter;
4. YouTube;
5. Political and social forums.

The purpose of their work is to create negative image of America and Europe on the Internet. Thus the Russian "trolls" mimic the U.S. residents, posing as citizens dissatisfied with Obama and the government.
Their reports also include such topics as: «Sochi», «Maidan», «Doctrine 2050» (lies about U.S. State Department plans), «I'm a patriot» (lies about Khodorkovsky, Navalny, Alferov, PussyRiot, Prokhorov, Hakamada and Nemtsov).

It was found that there is a staff of people working in strict reporting to supervisors and writing on the internet paid pro-government comments. Average salary of such commentator is 30000-40000 rubles per month. Propaganda is conducted on two fronts: on the Russian Internet and on the non-Russian Internet. Each department has its "experts". The overall cost for the last month amounted to 33 million rubles.

As confirmation of the reality of the foregoing, it is enough to compare scans of passports, discovered in the hacked email accounts with real people in the social networks.

Some Russian media has already reacted to this:
