This entry should be at least downvoted out of the hacker news.

Whilst the "new documents" aren't actually attributed on page 1, they're linked to on page 2.
Definitely set my russian-propaganda alarm off, but in this case it appears to be legit.
Not being threatened: you're doing it wrong.
I haven't seen any allegations of this (and I follow it reasonably closely). Wikipedia doesn't have any obvious links[1].
I've seen this story elsewhere years ago (back around when the linked WP story was posted).

One more time @HN admins: Please remove downvote capability. All it does is poisoning the conversations and putting HN community into a downward spiral of adolescent behaviors.
It's downvoted for the same reason puff pieces on some random startup are. It's basically advertising.
(I do not know whether this site in particular actually is a propaganda outfit, but that's how the logic goes if it were)

I realize people have quite wide-ranging views about downvoting. But we're not going to remove it, for the same reason people need white blood cells.
