The Protesters' Guide to Smartphone Security

At this point I think you're being less than honest with yourself. A group organizing 60 protests is organizing at scale because they want to create the perception of a movement.

> There's an aspect of this reasoning that delegitimizes real protest movements

Who cares? Our goal is to tell the truth, not to legitimize this or that. The fact is Russians organize a lot of protests in our country. And they're not the only ones who do.

Are you sure that's me?

> A group organizing 60 protests is organizing at scale

Again: what scale? Are we talking all protests? Some? Half? What is "a lot"?

> > delegitimizes real protest movements

> Who cares?

You would, when the protest is about something that matters to you. The very thing that divides so-called Western democracy from the evil Russians is the right to organize, criticize, and protest against the government. When you can't do these things, you're living in an autocracy, something like, um... Russia?

I'll leave you to argue this one out with yourself.
