Russia also uses its vast network of persona accounts & proxy websites to peddle fake controversies & conspiracy theories, and basically manufacture stories to get a reaction.

For example, they do things like dangle controversial and false claims out there, then wait for people to start talking about it on social media — and then write articles that cite those very same social media comments as “proof” that people are concerned about the fake controversy that they just manufactured.
