Way before they were used to attack our elections the IRA Russian trolls were used to spread fake propaganda about Russia shooting down MH17 over Ukraine.
Those of you who remember the Russian trolls here on GFY blaming retarded conspiracy theories about the downing of the civilian airliner also know it's the same ones who spread bulkshit about Hillary during the 2016 election.

They report that in the 24 hours after the MH17 crash the IRA posted at least 65,000 tweets, mainly in Russian, that blamed the Ukrainian government in Kiev for the disaster. Altogether, 111,486 tweets about MH17 were posted by the IRA in just three days, from July 17 through 19. (By comparison, in the 10-week period leading up to the November 2016 elections, the IRA accounts posted 175,993 tweets.) According to the two journalists: “Never before or after did the trolls tweet so much in such a short period of time.”
