Russian fanboys, sure. Actual Russian security forces, doubtful. They aren't idiots. They aren't going to pick a fight on HN were things are so easily moderated/downvoted/flagged. The real agents work deep inside their facebook/twitter/whatsapp nests. What we have here are pro-russia but nevertheless amature activists.

I also thought that the security forces aren't idiots. But after seeing this, I have some doubts: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Retlia2xT8A
