I found about 50 of the russian accounts reddit suspended, their submissions remain on reddit.

I am working on second extension already which will be analyzing their actual comments. Parhaps I can add those features to the new one.

The current extension only looks at their account age and comment karma which is surprisingly useful but doesn't look very deep.

It has been reported that the Russian trolls would work in teams. One would ask a question, the next would make some weak lefty argument, then the final one would sweep in with the "knowledge" and look all smart spreading his propaganda.

From the sounds of it, these accounts work together and regularly respond to each other's comments. That isn't something a regular reddit user would be doing. A real user would be commenting basically at random. They wouldn't have a preference for responding to certain users.

I believe you could identify accounts doing this by analyzing their comments. I just started working on it, I'll let you know if I get something working.
