    The same happened with communist parties funded by URSS at the time, and it is still happening with some parties openly supporting Putin.

    In the end the blame goes to thee people for being so gullible to vote for parties that do the interests of foreign powers. US, Russia, (China?), doesn’t really matter.

        They always funded European left-wing parties at least until the fall of URSS. There were even cultural exchanges with European politicians going to Moscow. It was never a secret! The same thing is still happening today with some parties openly pro-Putin (at least until the invasion of Ukraine).
