the november midterm elections in the u.s. could end republican dominance in the house and also in the senate u.s. media is focusing on campaigns and also on the question of russian meddling will the u.s. see a repeat of the twenty sixteen election interference as alleged by the f b i and to what extent are russia's online trolls trying to influence american voters opinions today we want to hear russian perspectives on how they view this and other news stories as well as the bigger picture of russia u.s. relations and joining us to do that via skype from moscow are numb still bob moscow correspondent for the daily beast and newsweek and boston. a ph d. candidate at harvard university she studies social media russian politics and russia's influence on public opinion abroad and in new york. a journalist and
11:23 pm
contributor to russian media outlets including color sound expert t.v. and t.v. reign welcome to the stream everyone let's start with meddling i want to share a tweet sent to this stream from you while weber associate professor of russian and eurasian style. daniel moore again graduate school here in washington d.c. this is what he says the meddling to whatever extent has dashed trumps and prudence hopes for a pragmatic relationship and turned russia into a partisan issue in the u.s. everything that democrats dislike about trump and his policies can be traced to the original sin in quotes there of russian help during the election are now when it comes to this issue do you agree with what you've also here i do but if we think. and look at things from russian perspective and i've been traveling around russian regions this year a lot. of people think that america is
11:24 pm
a threat and they more and more feel concerned about the relationship between the united states and russia getting spoiled more and more people are afraid of of the war my takes a driver in siberia asked me about the war in the war is coming and for as long as putin is the president he hopes that the war with the united states doesn't happen i'm just trying to explain to you how ordinary russians see the city they do not. they do not read about miller's investigation they just worry about if you change the future of the children i'm wondering what every day russians think about president trump and he did a particularly high profile press conference yesterday and we played a little clip of it he's talking about russian meddling here and have a look at by the democrats they know what what about the message that's being to do
11:25 pm
the same thing with the russian investigation they can to try to convince people that i had something to do with russia there was no collusion think of it. i'm in wisconsin i'm in michigan. i said you were not doing well i won both us states were not doing well let me call the russians to help does anybody really believe that it's a con job and. they are now. to some of russians believe it's a con job he said something to this russian investigation how are you reporting it . well i'd say that generally speaking it does not seem that. russian media especially of russian state media coverage of the situation with miller's in the situation precisely and i'd say what the state propaganda in russia they just be and any outside of the
11:26 pm
country and blame that any need for everything we is not going well it's a very old sort of strategy when you know it's just easier to explain ordinary people. why they have to deal with bad things as you know as. weak economy as mania laws that make their lives even more a complicated and i'd say. i'd i'd say that the only angle we two against see. if i mean if we talk about the state media i'm not talking about all russian media because as we know there are some. professional media outlets who still do their job very very well so when i i just want to emphasize the fact that when i refer to russian t.v. i was from wall street so they stay propaganda so all all those late shows
11:27 pm
week they stayed. thread and obviously i'm. you know it's nothing. that it's sad about us. on that shows but at the same time you know when comes to discussing donald trump and the angle slightly changes so steele i'd see russian audience. doesn't really have access to quality coverage of the us affairs because well. t.v. is still the last powerful instrument of propaganda and only if you. liberals. all i want to newspapers are a sound yeah thank you and it really and i think that's an interesting point you're making about the view from state run t.v. here's a tweet we got from someone named
11:28 pm
a racer who talks about internet media in russia she says mainstream ones cover the president trumps trade war same sions military activities and sometimes they do analytics about the political shift in the u.s. but collusion is rarely mention as russians consider it to be overrated now of course of someone who is here in boston you know collusion is a term that comes up a lot in the u.s. when it comes to russia can you talk to us about your research why this might be seen as overrated in russia why the collusion term seems to be overrated in russia so it seems to me that although the recent studies like pew research center and believe there was also a gallup poll indicate that russians overwhelmingly do not believe that russia interfered in the u.s. election. also simultaneously believe that something like eighty percent of all russians russian respondents believe that the us on the other hand interferes in
11:29 pm
elections around the globe and in the domestic affairs of other countries it seems that the average russian citizen believes that in a unit polar world in which the u.s. dominates these are sort of the means that are available to the russian state this is what the russian state house at its disposal to counteract that unipolarity just a little bit to just change the balance a little bit in its favor and so because they believe it's a noble goal in this case the ends justify the means right i want to move on a little bit now and have a look deeper into the issue of online trolling have a listen to the twitter c.e.o. jack dorsey and facebook c.e.o. of several sound but they were testifying in front of a senate intelligence committee on this month we found ourselves unprepared and ill equipped for the immensity of the problems that we've acknowledged abuse
11:30 pm
harassment troll army propaganda through botched and human coordination misinformation campaigns and divisive filter but. that's not healthy public square when content violates our policies we will take it down and when our opponents use new techniques we will share them so we can strengthen our collective efforts everyone here today knows that this is an arms race and that means we need to be ever more vigilant. a lot of these social problems right now are trying to get rid of but what they're trying to get rid of propaganda and influence is a news that is i hate the phrase along with a f. unease but news that is not actually news. from this is this is your wheel house this is what you study. from the other side from the east looking across to the west is this a this is this is
11:31 pm
a fantastic success story to the digital world in russia oh that's that's an excellent question that's it's such a huge undertaking that these social media giants have in front of them because it's tremendously difficult to keep up with these accounts that keep springing out so just recently in the news facebook has shared that again you know they're tracking. multiple accounts that are disseminating fake news stories and slanted news stories on syria that are again traced back to russia twitter is constantly dealing with the same it's by no means a success story it's something that is very much an uncharted territory how do you regulate the online space which should be democratic and open to all sorts of voices while at the same time not allowing it to become this sort of a divisive platform that is dominated by narratives that are clearly not conducive
11:32 pm
to you know to universal norms of democracy and human rights and things like. that and i don't hope i can let you know but i was going to go to you with a tweet i'm interested to hear you have to say first well you know when i've been reporting on troll factory a lot of his he's being based in moscow and kobrin thing use. the factory in st peters for that. as we know belongs to mr preclusion who is also known on the west this putin's cook and has been growing bigger they now can buy bigger building and they employ more people who work on cell arrays who post. messages on facebook and on twitter every day that's their job but i was also recently working must to do. anea where they hire trolls too so if it seems that. trolls as a job you know every day job
