I'm sure the US has hundreds of spies and personnel in Russia at any point in time.

But sending a spy to a software developers house and assassinating them probably isn't going to stop the problem - more people will spring up doing the same.

We might not though. We don't even have a main diplomat there.

Russia has always been notoriously hard to spy on.

I would not be surprised if there was only a handful of well placed assets and most of the spying being done electronically.
