Summary/Abstract: The article explores the figure of the troll and trolling as a communicative strategy. Trolls today not only pollute the online environment and spread disinformation and propaganda, but also set the norms of public discourse by imposing a new truth concept. To clarify the features of trolling, the text examines the troll's relationship with his audience. Furthermore, trolling is seen as a type of political communication, creating a specific political culture in which fear and anger are used as a tool for influence.
