Doing something highly illegal and finding a "community" and sharing it with a "friend" would be a stupid move. Don't ever disclose your name if you do something like this, unless you are in a safe country.

He is not an "anti-war candidate". To think it is possible without FSB approval is naivety. His purpose was to collect lists of people who signed for him (that is, new opposition that hasn't emigrated and formed naturally in 2022-2024 - needless to say, it consists of completely different demographics and people's backgrounds from the "old" opposition). Unfortunately these people are too naive to recognize the danger.
I think that the best way is to directly ask the person which algorithms/data structures they know or have used.

Since this field of knowledge is a huge collection of know-hows, there is no way to measure knowledge level with high accuracy by random sampling.

How was it possible to discover it, though?
