One imagines that it might have some negative effects on people in Russia, not all of whom are trolls.
It may also have secondary effects on people outside Russia if the leadership wants to do something that people outside Russia don't much like, but where public opinion in Russia is a constraint on them.

The Russian trolls are leaving! That's good.
The AI trolls are coming! That's bad.
