The rights to Putin’s Trolls - by the award-winning journalist Jessikka Aro have been acquired by Onerva Pictures

Onerva Pictures’ aim is to develop a high end Finnish drama series aimed at both domestic and international audiences. Inka and Tanja Rusi of Onerva Pictures have received funding from the Finnish Film Foundation for initial script writing work on the series in March 2022. Jessikka Aro is attached to the project as a consultant and executive producer and Ambassador and Professor of International Relations Dr. Alpo Rusi is attached as a consultant.

“I appreciate the deeply humane touch and the personal interest the Rusi sisters have in Putin's Trolls. I look forward to working with their wonderful team,” – Jessikka Aro

“We are thrilled to be working with Jessikka, who is such an inspiration in her bravery and pioneering journalism. Russia’s recent war crimes in Ukraine have given the work an even more urgent focus. Our drama series KOMPROMAT, will feature characters inspired by the private individuals turned freedom fighters featured in Putin’s Trolls, all connecting via intertwined plotlines across multiple locations in Europe. We envisage a tense and gripping thriller with plenty of twists to take us across multiple seasons.”
– Tanja Rusi, producer, Onerva Pictures

“By exposing Putin’s institutionalized trolling operations, Jessikka Aro has gone where no one has had the courage to go before and has done so at great peril. Ms. Aro has done the world a huge service by showing us how these tactics work so we can better defend ourselves going forward.” —BILL BROWDER, financier and author, Red Notice: A True Story of High Finance, Murder, and One Man’s Fight for Justice
