Last year they were caught using offshore shell companies to funnel money to anti-fracking propaganda.
Here is one story about it - https://www.nationalreview.com/2017/07/anti-fracking-groups-russia-secret-funding-protects-kremlin-interests/
Good link....thanks.
Of course this is a very old playbook for the Soviets/Russians. Back in college in the late 1960’s, I minored in Nuclear Science in working toward my chemistry PhD.
At that time, it looked like fission power plants would be a possible career path as a major plant was being built near my home town. It turned out to have been the last fission plant completed in the US.
I got to watch the whole ugly anti-nuke “thing” with every POSSIBLE route taken to denigrate and block the plant.
