Certainly not. Russia has created some fantastic things, art and music and literature and has many fantastic people too. Its politics are just highly unfortunate and it’s well documented the Russian government has used social media to create disinformation campaigns. It is not the Russian population’s fault in any way. When I think of the ones who protested the Ukrainian war despite the fact it might get them imprisoned or their families killed I’m blown away at their bravery.
“The Internet Research Agency (IRA; Russian: Агентство интернет-исследований, romanized: Agentstvo internet-issledovaniy), also known as Glavset (Russian: Главсеть),[1] and known in Russian Internet slang as the Trolls from Olgino (Russian: ольгинские тролли) or Kremlinbots (Russian: кремлеботы[2]), was a Russian company which was engaged in online propaganda and influence operations on behalf of Russian business and political interests.[3] It was linked to Yevgeny Prigozhin, a former Russian oligarch who was leader of the Wagner Group, and based in Saint Petersburg, Russia.”
Russian state sponsored bot farms, yeah.
