The Russians have been accused of messing with Brexit, undermining the regime of Angela Merkel, helping the trouble-makers (who we don't know) in France, and trying to influence various factions in the United States. Their Information Warfare campaigns are popular and working better than we may be aware. Look around. Brexit is getting worse; Merkel is losing out in her own country; France is having another go around with the yellow vests; the US is still working on impeaching a President and love talking about it whether there is anything to impeach him on or not.
If we think the Russians have stopped, we are undoubtedly wrong. Looking for signs of Russian involvement in these issues is well worth the time of our politicians - who seem to be concentrating on hacking each other to death than dealing the the Russian interference. It is stupid. The Intelligence Services of these respective countries need to concentrate more on getting the disinformation portion of these activities stopped.
