> 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.

If you haven't read Bill Browder's Red Notice, read it now. Wow. Wow. Just wow. YCombinator is in the Kremlin's pocket. Wow. I fully expect this to be downvoted to oblivion. But wow.

In essence, Putin used Browder's investigations of Gazprom and other oligarch-controlled Russian businesses (huge national orgs that were privatized after the collapse of the Soviet Union) to jail the richest man in Russia, effectively making all the oligarchs his bitches.

Milner is investing oligarch money. These people will kill you (see: Sergei Magnitsky). How bad do you want Milner' money now?
