Lots of reports of massive funding by Russia in influence campaigns.

Looks like Russia influenced the bigger countries more and got far right in. Meanwhile Nordics had cleaner elections and Leftists rose the most

Is this why people say Putin is evil smart? While making mistakes, it doesn’t matter in the large scheme of screwing with the opponent

Putin is a former KGB agent. He’s good at the things that the KGB were good at, because that’s how he was trained. Foreign influence is one of those things that he’s very good at thanks to that training, and Russia has been good at for a very long time, actually. So it’s kind of one of Russia’s core competencies.
