It's part of the Russian/Putin playbook. Their mission isn't to promote any particular interests within America or other countries, as much as to maximize divisiveness and weaken democracy as much as possible so that Russia is stronger and less threatened in comparison.

... and over on RUnet, I saw memes about US botting.

Too bad we can't have a Geneva Convention on botnets or something. (I would write "couldn't", but don't believe it's technically feasible)

You are being divided internally by a domestic force. BlackLivesMatter vs everyone, putting male against female, isolating individual by destroying nuclear family. Putin should be last of your concerns.
