Not true, but it would definitely take more than that hand-wavy uncertainty yarn you're trying to spin

Both the NY Times and the Guardian seem to hate Russia and all things Russian. I constantly read things in those publications that are ludicrously biased or simply wrong. They don't count as credible sources to me anymore.

And as was already pointed out, you stated that "Russia sponsors" but even the first article states that the alleged project is the work of one guy who apparently has money to burn - not the government.

I honestly think HN is the target of some of these trolls as well.

A significant percentage of younger (as well as non-younger for that matter) people have practically no exposure to mainstream media, so naturally one should expect propaganda (from the various players) will be brought to online forums of all kinds.

I feel HN has been specifically targeted as a source of above-average discourse, therefore it must be comprised.
