metadata.value: The present paper is devoted to the study of the communicative behavior of manipulation
  trolls that provoke a conflict situation and affect addressees during the COVID-19 pandemic.
  The relevance of the article is due to the need for a comprehensive study of manipulative
  influence in the Internet, the development of recommendations for identifying the manipulative
  intention of the addresser and providing timely counteraction. Research tasks are: to
  determine the strategies and tactics of manipulative conflict virtual interaction, to calculate
  the types of manipulation trolls in the Russian-speaking Internet during the COVID-19 pandemic
  using the example of comments on posts in the LiveJournal and Internet memes. The
  study showed that the general strategy of manipulation was implemented in two main directions
  — to establish the opponents’ point of view through reassurance and to incite collective hatred in order to create their own “support group”. Micro-strategies of exposure, self-presentation
  and persuasion are recognized as special cases of the general strategy of manipulation.
  It has been concluded that the micro-strategy of persuasion is implemented through the tactics
  of referring to authority, reasoning/persuasion and negative scenario, the micro-strategy
  of exposure — through the tactics of expressing distrust and irony, the micro-strategy of selfpresentation
  — through the tactics of self-congratulation and distance. Particular attention is
  paid to verbal and non-verbal markers in the communicative behavior of manipulation trolls.
  The use of communicative-pragmatic analysis and semiotic analysis to study the structure of
  the comments, verbal and iconic parts of Internet memes, descriptive method to generalize,
  systematize, classify and interpret the obtained data made it possible to decode speech tactics
  and correlate them with communicative micro-strategies used by different types of manipulation
  trolls. The result of the work is the construction of schemata that reflects types of trolls of
  the general type “manipulation troll” observed in the analyzed material, the communicative
  micro-strategies and tactics they implement within the general manipulation strategy.
