I would be careful about such postulations. The Russians are very good at propaganda. They infiltrated our colleges with their BS.
Yep! They are really good! They stole our election, colluded with Trump, infiltrated Hillary's email server, killed a Dem staffer in the middle of the night, hacked the dem headquarters server and forced hookers to pee on Trump's bed in Moscow -- to name just a few.
Clearly, they are very good!
