Russia's army of paid internet commenters

I possibly met one of these when trying to get Wikipedia to indicate at least with a footnote that the USSR has been with Germany during the earlier years of WW2, before being attacked and thus changing sides. That person, alone, energetic and with excellent knowledge of the rules of WP, kept the “facts” as WP tells 'em that the USSR was an Ally - actually it appears it was the main Good Guy, if you look at the box on the right in the WP article on WW2. Katyn, anyone? oh well, astroturfing does win. There were several of us asking for a compromise, even if just a footnote. No dice against someone who appears to be a pro.

@oktroj I wonder, what can “we” do? I don’t have the time or skill to fight someone who appears to be a pro. Do I need to get myself another pro? I don’t feel it would be right, but then, how do we get the truth come up?
