it’s illogical for the Russians to be behind this. After all, if Hillary is going to be a pushover for them, shouldn’t they want her to win the election?

Of course. Only if Hillary wins the election will the Russians' cache of e-mails become truly valuable as blackmail material. The Russians want Hillary to win. They don't want to have to deal with The Donald.

Putin and the Russians detest people like Obama and Hitlery who betray their own country. Putin would much rather deal with Trump because Trump will bring stability and strength. And Putin wants to team up with Trump to defeat ISIS.
