| Subject: Ex-Kremlin Internet 'troll' sues to end Putin propaganda Thu Jun 04, 2015 3:33 am | |
| A former "Kremlin troll" says she is suing her old employer to shut down what she describes as a "factory" churning out Internet propaganda defending Russian President Vladimir Putin.
The trial opened Monday in St. Petersburg but was immediately delayed until June 23 because the defendant failed to show up, Lyudmila Savchuk told The Associated Press on Tuesday.
In her lawsuit, Savchuk seeks moral damages and demands the closure of the company, Internet Research, saying its employees did not have proper Russian employment contracts.
In an interview in April, Savchuk told the AP how she and hundreds of colleagues in St. Petersburg managed several social media accounts, flooding the Internet with pro-Putin commentary and doctored images that landed on Russian and Western news websites.
