The difference between the government, the corporate sector (oligarchy) and the mafia in Russia is nominal. It's all the same people, operating out of different organizational fronts.

It's a super-organization that transcends what we think of elsewhere as being different sectors (of varying degrees of legality)

There's a big difference between the GRU and the SVR and the FSB. There's an even bigger difference between GRU and the IRA.

These are completely different things, it's downright silly to imply otherwise.

IRA staffers certainly aren't "GRU agents"

I don't disagree with anything you say.

But nothing you say argues against what I said.
