A while back, some white teenager was pretending to be a Japanese man and posted constantly about hating white people and dubious cases of "cultural appropriation" and had a massive following and was a even a mod on a popular social justice blog about Asian issues, despite all Japanese they ever used on their blog being straight google translate. They got away with this for months because people don't bother to fact check anything, especially if it comes from someone even claiming to be a "POC".
So I don't know why any of you are surprised about this Russia thing. A 14 year old white kid could do it, so people specifically trained to spread misinformation can definitely do it. And it's going to happen again.
