Still, I believe a reflection of the government deeds affects just people – entrepreneurs, projects, etc.

I don't have data for that. I am just sharing my 5 cents here.

People could "freak out" when they hear "it's Russian" without doing any research from their side. I hope it's not happening often. As a Russian ciz this thought disappoints me sometimes and makes me sad (and our Gov deeds too).

As a Russian, this goes both ways. I really hate how the US tries its damnest to pretend they control the entire planet and meddles with internal politics of other countries, something they have no business even knowing about, all the time. Sovereignty? What sovereignty?

>given what this country has done on social media to control foreign elections

What has Russian done that

a) Directly affects the results, such as hacking any system where electronic vote is possible.

b) Any kind of propaganda or lobbying that any other country such as the USA, England or Israel don't also engage to make public opinion more sympathetic to them.
