> Could you please bring any example of those "massive destabilization attempts"?

Just about every far-right populist political party in the west is being or has been funded and supported by Russia. This is a fact.

Also, russian troll factories have been documented in several books by several separate people, for instance

> I reckon NATO started expansion

NATO "expanding" is one of the widely documented russotroll dogwhistles. I will thank you for not spreading this lie further.

I bothered taking a look at verisimi's earlier comments. It's absolutely clear that he has a strong pro-Russia position, and given how his account is 6 months old, it's possible that he's here only to spread pro-Russian talking points.

Continuing discussion with such people/russotrolls[0] is pointless, indeed. Too bad this site doesn't have a block user functionality.
