Here's one example from the 364 pages and accounts that were removed. 

The fake accounts branded themselves as independent news pages or interest pages on topics ranging from travel to politicians, according to a Facebook blog post. The pages and accounts were also linked to employees of Sputnik, a news agency based in Moscow, Facebook said. They regularly posted topics such as anti-NATO sentiment, protest movements and anti-corruption.
