The contents of Wikileaks archive is not solely a function of civil liberties violations. Someone has to get the information and get it to Wikileaks. I don't know how much international news you follow, but many strange and curious deaths occur to Russians who seem to defy the state. Most probably don't want to risk it (if they even have any real information to begin with).

Besides that, Russian politics are fairly obviously self serving, it doesn't need much in terms of illustration beyond what you can simply see for yourself.

Just to be clear: we're talking about an organization that stands accused of relaying information obtained from Chelsea Manning to the government of Belarus, among the worst of the Russian client regimes.
