I've read something similar in my own home country where the local Russian controlled fascist party wants to import gas from Russia. IMO, this seems like a coordinated maneuver. It seems like the Russians activated their saboteurs in the hopes that they can get back some money for the war effort.

With something like this, we know we are on the right track.

Edit: Every time I remember that he was killed by the hateful environment he helped create, I smile.
