Employer, a PR agency, could pay them to maintain a hundred of accounts, each in different character. One can be Narnia-related, another a good-natured patriotic person, who adopted 88 children from an orphanage, then there can be liberal accounts, which push the same agenda, but under the opposition-like guise.

Daily reminder: while LJR may be a place of interest for int. services and cops (thanks to tons of junkies, "extremists" and pedos hangin' out here), it is not all that interesting to Olgino, Kibersotnya (are they even still around?) or private PR agencies. There are too few readers here, and they're usually smart enough to detect bullcrappy propaganda or, at least, old enough to have rooted-up worldview. Why pay people to write on LJR, where their propaganda will be seen by tens at best, if you can keep one more account on far more popular platform, where you will have hundreds, thousands or even tens of thousands readers?
Seriously: stop with conspiracy theories, since this shit is addictive. Sure, there may be "professional" shills here, but, to be honest, andrusha looks like just another internet moron, not like some "fifteen-rubler" from sosach. And I'm sure that tipharetnik isn't a popular place to go for propagandists.

They are being paid for spam and the amount of it. And it doesn't take much time to implement an LJR plugin for their spam system. They probably have a dedicated team of programmers, which write bots non-stop. In the end they could just claim "we reach even shithole sites like LJR!" Internet communities are very fragmented, outside of big social networks, and they don't want blind corners to form out of their reach.

And modern AI could help making the same message unrecognizable, picking proper synonyms and rephrasing it automatically.
