It's a brand new account with negative karma and two comments, both pro-Russian in context.

Either it's somebody's sock puppet account or someone new who doesn't understand that HN really is different from Reddit and a higher level of intellectual discourse works much better here.

RT was specifically created by the Russian government to influence foreigners.
