There are so damn many Russians in Brighton Beach who frequently travel to Russia and are pissed off because the US hasn't started WWIII yet that there's no need to pay for 'Russians' to troll an election. Just ask and maybe toss em' a couple new laptops then you're good to go.
There are such interesting connections between the Russian oligarchs who fled when Putin came to power and cleaned house, Brighton Beach, Israel, and London, that once I heard Steele's name I decided we probably won't be even getting near to draining the swamp until there are some coordinated arrests in Israel, Brighton Beach, and London.
I don't know about Russians on FR, but there's an interesting correlation between the number of anti-Russian, "save Ukraine", posts and Kiev getting a bit of cash.

Oh there's a team of trolls right here on this thread. Probably paid for by George Soros trying to point the finger at Russians so as to distract from the corrupt Marxist cabal in our own government that has impending indictments bearing down on them.
