    I said "probably". But considering that Russia has troll farms to spread bs on social networks and China is constantly trying to hack stuff in order to spy (and even Huawei products have shady backdoors in them), I wouldn't be surprised that they're doing the same.

          I'm not reading that first source because I'm not involving myself in this conversation except to point out that this dailymail article mentions Russians, as in, the people. It doesn't say that it is the government. When average joe citizens in the USA vandalize Wikipedia people don't say that the USA is vandalizing it.
