Jessikka Aro is a Finnish journalist, and author of a non-fiction book Putin's Trolls. In September 2014, she began to investigate pro-Russian Internet trolls, but became a victim of their activities herself, which forced her to flee her native country of Finland. She was due to receive the 2019 International Women of Courage Award in the US, but this was rescinded shortly before the award ceremony, apparently because of criticism she had made of President Trump online. Jessika, it’s a huge pleasure to speak with you, and I was so pleased to see your book come out in English, because I became aware of it a few years ago, but unfortunately my Finnish is non-existent, so I had to wait a few years to read it.
