14.

15 if you count Vladimir, who is currently on vacation.

They're on vacation. They only come around at election time. Then they get paid overtime.

Roughly half as many as the paid Hillary posters that flooded the internet during the election cycle.

More Media Matters posters here since Russians are probably all on the EU forums since it's closer when they go on vacation.

The real question is - do websites like city-data have a responsibility to monitor Russian trolls? Facebook finally seems to be facing up to some ethical responsibility for selling ad space to Russians. Perhaps other sites should too?

Definitely not. Forums like this and various other websites spring up with little to no investment sometimes, requiring some sort of intense and costly methods to try and route out people of ill will from foreign countries would be a huge barrier to entry for so many valuable and informative sites.

The government cant regulate away all forms of danger and problems, sometimes we just need to rely on people to use their brains, which itself is probably also another form of danger.

Good point about Facebook.

Could there be others?
