I'm not sure I get the "Russian" focus here.

Is it that other cybercriminals use different tools? Or do we somehow hold Russian cybercriminals to higher esteem?

I feel like there's some sort of a FUD campaign going on right now against privacy tools and strong encryption. You need to bring up Russia or terrorists or sex trafficking or the story is not scary enough.
