Abstract This article explores trolling as a form of literary activity. It presents a number of specific types of trolling on the Russian-language Internet in connection with digital literature and the literary practices of various groups of Internet users.

In the 2010s, the now popularised techniques of trolling came to be seen as effective strategies to deploy …

The occupation of Runet? : The tightening state regulation of the Russian-language section of the internet

2019

In this chapter, we scrutinise the Russian state’s regulation for political purposes of the Russian-language section of the internet or ‘Runet’, as it is often dubbed in Russia.

Internet and social media played an important role in the mobilisation of these protests that challenged the legitimacy of the ruling elite. We argue that the protests marked a watershed moment in the Russian government’s information policy, which had previously mainly functioned through the control of the federal Russian TV channels. After the protests, the Kremlin mounted a campaign to regulate…

Even though the difference in duration of fixations does not reach statistical significance, saccade size and regression rate are smaller in Russian.
