Also writing a comment like this in the context of the linked article fills me with a sense of dread.

Will it be possible to have discussions in the future without a subtext of having some covert motive?
(For the record, I agree with your view. If you want to feel even more confused about the issue, check out this video concerning Vladislav Surkov: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wcy8uLjRHPM)
We should start a pool on who and what is being funded by the russian govt.
