Russia didn’t found those groups. They find existing dissidents, give them funding, and amplify their online footprints. They really don’t care if they are left, right, or center, as long as they are pissed off and not terribly bright. Tankies of clansmen work just as well.
You’re saying, that giving very hard and addictive drugs to person in a crisis, isn’t creating very high rise in addicted people?
They find the crisis, and push narrative, that it’s fault of LGBT people, or the immigrants, or people with different skin color, or different religion. Everyone who is not following what exactly state wants (skin color, religion, nation).

Not true. It’s better to push right wing agenda, since russia has nothing to do with socialism, but it’s a full on right wing authoritarian regime. Then, before Russia attacked Ukraine, a lot of right wing populists were saying that Russia is a right wing alternative for rotten west.
Of course, there are many tankies and other shit, just to destroy the left. A lot of forums in the west, like on reddit (or on lemmy, like “memes”) will ban you for mentioning russian imperialism, or Katyn genocide.
Is this supposed to contradict something? Yes, that’s exactly what I’m talking about. They don’t create the crisis, and they don’t start the movements. They look for existing cracks in society and promote/exploit them.

Prior to Trump, RT was the home of a great number of leftists. For instance, Thom Hartmann, Michael Brooks, Chris Hedges , and others were on RT. (My jab about not being very smart doesn’t apply in this case, and was intended more for the tankies).
What is true is that there are a hell of a lot more right wing commentators who are willing to conform their messaging to whatever their funders demand.

Um, no? I said what I said, not that nonsense.
