The goal is to keep opinions we don’t want fragmented and from coalescing in to a single voice for long enough that the memes we do want can, at which points they’ve gotten a head start on going viral and tend to capture a larger-than-otherwise share of media attention.

Interesting. There’s definitely a concerted effort to censor information on the internet.

I don’t think it’s just Russians. I also believe a lot of useful idiots are perpetuating censorship because it’s expected of them.
