Abstract
Putin’s Trolls gir et skjellsettende innblikk i Russlands stadig mer komplekse informasjonskrig, og angrepene mot dem som kjemper tilbake. Bokens styrke ligger i å sette prorussiske påvirkningsforsøk inn i konkrete nasjonale kontekster — deriblant de nordiske. Tross tittelen får leseren likevel forbausende lite dybdeinnsikt i Russlands informasjonskrigføring gjennom sosiale medier. Putin’s Trolls is a watershed portrayal of Russia’s increasingly complex information war, and the attacks against the people fighting back. The book’s strength lies in situating pro-Russian influence efforts in specific national contexts — such as the Nordic ones. Despite the title, the reader nevertheless gains surprisingly little in-dept insight into Russia’s weaponization of social media.
