"I know it is true because an American paper says Russian did X and Y".

I'm not saying it isn't, but WSJ and FT as sources? Really?

If you want to understand how Russia works, there are plenty of international sources.

"How Russia won the World Cup" by the The Guardian[1] is a one of them.

The Guardian is not a reliable source on this topic. For example, the ludicrous Luke Harding.

The Guardian has published more facts about Russia's interference in Brexit and the US presidential election than probably any other newspaper in the world, and has been owned by a non-profit organization since 1936[1].

I'm not sure what you want as sources if two well respected, global news publications don't make the cut.

FT is not by any standard an American paper, unless the US annexed either the UK (where it is HQed) or Japan (where it's corporate parent is based) when I wasn't paying attention.
